How would these rims look on a white 95 eclipse gst and would they fit?

My friend told me they are 04-08 Acura TSX Ruff Racing 18" Wheels R934 Rims. He is selling them for $750 with rims and tires. Very new, great tread. Should i get them, any problems? Will it look bad, or is it a bad deal? Tires are Nankang 225/35/18

Here are some things to try...

1. Put them on, turn your wheels both ways, and rotate them to look for rubbing and brake/suspension clearance. It's not that hard...

2. Find out the bolt spacing and offset from the guy you bought them from, or...

3. Take them to a wheel shop and have them tell you...

Bolt pattern fits forsure but offest I dont know off the top of my head I can let you know that by tomorrow.

your bolt pattern is a 5X114.3 so if thats what they are then your in the clear. and trust me lots of cars run this pattern.

i did some research and what i see is the tsx runs the same pattern so your good to go. and i think they look pretty

 

[someguy1984]

Alright, so do you think i should get them for $750? How does that deal sound with tires?

My goal is to make my car look like this. http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a26/Camaro0wner/2468908813_520084c67d_o.jpg After these rims, I'm going to paint the hood black...Do you think I'm on track with these wheels?

what is the offset of the wheel?

 

[someguy1984]

I don't know anything about that, which is why i'm asking...I can ask the guy.

From my research, the only width these come in is 7.5", for the 18" The recommended offset for the Tsx is 42-50mm. A lot of 18x7.5 wheels are 42-45mm offset. So, I say these wheels are in that range. They should fit fine but, like mentioned above, it's best to test fit on the front and rear. I'm not sure about the price. It's really about what you are willing to pay.

Definitely ask the seller what the offset is to make sure. And while that is a beautiful car, be different, dont strive to look just like someone else's car.

 

[someguy1984]

Well, not striving, but in general i want my car similar with my own perks.

I would test it out with him, but he is 4 hours away...Which is why I'm on the forum doing research. I don't want to drive all the way there and not have it fit, you know?

So, if i ask him what the offset is, what do i need to hear? What is good, or bad?

 

[Winglessflight]

There are forums that cover that topic, extensively. Just do a search.

Okay. The recommended offset range for an Eclipse GST is between 35-45mm. As long as the offset falls within that range, you'll be okay. That tire will fit but, the recommended size is 225/40-18. That's about as close as you can get to the stock tire diameter. The 35 series tire will look a little small on the Eclipse as it is slightly smaller than the stock 16" tire. I hope that helps.
