New Wheel Idea

WiscoE90 · 07-08-2013, 09:37 PM

Came across a new wheel setup on craigslist...

im sure others have ran them on BMW especially the E36 gen.

Corvette Sawblades... I found them for 200 the entire set!

17x8.5 et 56!
17x9.5 et 56!

it would be a different look... im kinda in the mood to start being a wheel whore!

thoughts on running a 56mm offset? IM almost positive it will need ATLEAST a 10mm spacer.

not feeling the green, but its different!

It's "ok", but I'm use to these on vws.

WiscoE90 · 07-08-2013, 09:43 PM

yeah i hear yeah!

A old friend of mine ran them on his slammed sti and then looked different... but cool.

im all about being unique and trying new stuff!

im sure people are going to hate... but it just makes me want it more!

not hating in any way, but i don't think its unique or new. I've seen sawblades done on pretty much every car out there. Too many people have done them on too many cars.

i'd go with another set of wheels.

Just my .02

You'll need like 25mm spacers not 10mm haha.

VMRWheels · 07-09-2013, 12:39 PM

You'll need some pretty large wheel spacers to make those fit (probably around 20mm or so).

Fortune335 · 07-09-2013, 01:21 PM

probably like atleast a 30mm spacer or more.

Looks dangerous .....

oh wow, just pass on them bro

Honestly you would need probibly 40 mm spacers and be really agressive to pull those off. NTM they are 17s. i dont think i have seen any 17" wheels on an e9x look good.
