G Games built by Rays. 18x8.5 with 245/45/18's

Going on my 05 Sedan

 

Nice pick. I always want to see how that look like on a sedan. I'm shopping for wheel as well but won't buy one until late this year. Want to get some deal on promotions.

 

I will post pictures once they are on.

 

nice wheels what are the offsets?

 

It's going to be close...

They are 18x8.5 with a 45mm offset. I have 5mm spacers on hand just in case.

 

Can't wait to see pics with them on your ride...

 

yeah, i think it will look nice on the sedan. likewise...post up some peeks when you mount them.

 

nice choice....

 

Wow, those are nice.
How much are those going to cost you?

Eagerly awaiting the pics

 

One more day and they will be here! The wheels were pretty hard to find, there does not seem to be a big supply of them here in the USA. They are showing up on cars in Japan at auto shows. They cost me $250 each at of all places Discount Tire Direct. Here is a picture of the 18"s on a S2000 at a car show in Japan:

I was thinking about that wheel and the RP03 but I am kinda set on RP03 because it is light and I like the design a bit better. Post some pics soon so maybe it will change my mind.

 

As promised, here is a picture of my newly installed G Games 77s (made by Rays) on my 05 Sedan. The wheels are 18x8.5 with a 45mm offset front and rear. I am using 245/45/18 tires. Just for reference the 8.5 wheel with a 45mm offset will require the use of a H&R 5mm spacer in the front to have a better margin of clearance between the tire and the strut support on the suspension. I did not have to change the wheels studs, the stock studs are well within H&R's spec's.

I know many have questioned the use of 245/45's on the sedan. I am very happy I did not go with shorter 245/40's. The 45's help fill the wheel well up much nicer than the 40's. By using a 8.5 wide wheels the difference in diameters between the 45's and 40's (on a 8" wheel) is only .025". After a 30 minute "test drive" two things are very clear, ride quality has not changed and the handling is vastly improved over the stock 17's. I did not get a chance to weigh the wheels, but three other people agreed that they felt as light as the stock wheels.

These should be lighter than stock, i think probably somewhere around 19-20 lbs.
