3KGT/Stealth Wheels? Yes!

Just thought I'd post this up for those looking to get a pretty wide wheel on their DSM for super cheap. I got a set of 1g Stealth twin turbo wheels off a local and I was in luck because they had some real nice sticky street tires with a 200 tread wear rating. They were just missing most the tread.


Anyway, they're pretty awesome. I didn't need any spacers, but be prepared to grind a decent amount of that lip off the rear trailing arm. If you are able to adjust your camber and toe easily (aka not a ton of rust), then you'll have an easier time than I did. Mine is still bone stock suspension with bad rear camber even at factory ride height. So I had to do a bit more grinding but man do these wheels hold the road! I believe the size is 17X8.5 46mm offset and the tire size is 245/45/r17. I do plan to clean them up and paint them black however. If only it would ever stop raining....

I just thought I'd post this info up because there's not a whole lot of people going this route.

I really like the offset on them. How much wider than they over the stock wheels? Do they rub or come close to rubbing?

I think stocker's about about 6-7 inches wide. These are 8.5in. wide. They do rub under extreme suspension travel and steering lock but I will attribute some of it to the crappy camber I have. I could've had some patience and bought a set of 4 3mm wheel spacers but I wanted the wheels on asap so I had to grind quite a bit off the rear trailing arms.

EDIT: I'll also add that I had to grind on the front spring perch's for tire clearance. However, If you got 235/45's or smaller I bet they'd fit on the front without any work. Or if you have coilovers then you'll only have to worry about the rear trailing arms.
