I bought some rims and idk if there gonna fit. They are 17x114.3 but the offset is 40mm a guy said he had them in a 2g eclipse
 
hmm I think with a 17x114.3" wide rim you may have some major clearance issuesROFL

Whats the actual width of the rim? 7", 7.5", 8" etc....
 
depending on the width you should be fine as an example evo rims are 17x8 with 38mm offset and they run great on our 1g's (stick out just a little up front), stock offset is 46mm

do you know the rim width or at least the tire size? this will help us help you :thumb:
 
It's 17x7.5

A guy at a tire shop said they wouldn't fit after removing my tires and putting them on the new rims. As you can tell this is my 1st dsm LOL

Here is a pic

They look like they should fit fine. 40mm offset is not that bad being its only a 7.5" wheel. My 16x8 50mm offset fd wheels fits with a 5mm spacer. I have more offset and wider wheels. Only way to know is to give them a try. One thing for sure, you need hubcentric rings.

I just went to put them on and they don't fit

Just saw this. Whats the problem the rear lower control arm?
 
I put the rim up to it and I turned it to each hole and it never made a difference

Here is the rim

the seller might not have known the bolt pattern or he threw them in that box to be a D**K and make a bad deal. You can always bust out the old tape measure. You should google that "how to measure bolt-pattern" or something like that. It's fairly simple and takes like 30 seconds; I would explain it but why since it's already out there:thumb:
but 5x114.3 is the correct pattern in metric or 5x4.5 in standard
 
Yeah no joke those rims cost me pretty penny to. But I guess that's what I get. It will ###### be another month or to b4 my talons on the road again LOL
