hey guys, fianlly saw a base model atuo coupe on teh stock 17's today and i LOVE the way they dish in a lil and are slightly wider than the sedan wheels. anyone have em on their sedan? how do they look? i am thinkin of gettin a pair for winter driving/long drives like going to fla. etc. and gettin a set of nice 19's for the shows and rollin around town etc.

 

Coupes sucks

 

Coupe 17s would look too small IMO, why not get the Coupe 18 or 19s? Or even the Sedan 05/06 18 inch Sport rims

 

LOL. Cuz the coupe 18's are margianlly good looking (only if they are gunemtal) and the 19's are a straight up abortion. i would prefer 17's for longer rides and winter/cool weatehr driving because they have a lil more give than an 18 or 19 and i wanna stick with a factory wheel without going to the absolutely atrocious Z wheels.

 

19s are Abortion? Not sure what that means but ok. 18s marginally good looking and you like the 17s? Thats a first.

 

put some 22s on that trick!

 

Then drag it.

 

lol. BEEN THERE DOEN THAT! :P had a full size truck on 22's bagged and bodydropped. that was a blast!

at any rate, yes i prefer the look of the dished 17's to the coupe 18's and i find the coupe 19's are almost blasphemous. not a big fan of them, if im gonna go 19's ill go aftermarket. however like i said earlier,i want the 17's cuz this city has some horrible roads for big wheels...and long distance travelling is much smoother on a slightly smaler dia. with a 45 or 50 series tire...plus if you have a blow out getting another 17 is easy...dime a dozen nowadays. anyway, point of the thread is to see how much different the dish look is on the coupe 17.

 

I was actually thinking the same thing. Getting the 17 from the rears since I am awd i dont want to run staggered. The rears ar 17x8.5 so I can fit a wider tire on there. Plus its a 33 offset so it should just be flush with my fender.

 

17 factoryz

 

No killer I think he is talking about the coupe 17, they run 17x8.5 I believe with a 33 offset. They look like the other 7 spoke wheel like what I have stock.

 

oops sorry.

 

BINGO!!!

the coupe 17's are wider with a 33 offset and are dished, not flat like the sedan wheels. i love that look more than a lipped whel and i figure that would be a great alternative to keep the car looking like a touring sedan...a lil lower. and a lil wider while not shellin gout huge bucks on crazy wheels and tires etc.

 

FYI, factory coupe 17's are 17x7.5+30 and 17x8+33, NOT 8.5"

 

I have a set of coupe 17's i'm painting right now, they're my spare wheels/tires. They will fit perfect on the sedan. Run a 235/45/17F and a 245/45/17R and you're all set.
