Here are the rims Im getting ready to purchase on my beautiful bsp tc, but I need some on a couple things first . 17x9 or 18x7.5 <--- Which ones would look 'right' or better on the tC?

I'd say the 18s.

what color do you have? BSP? SW? FM?

I have a bsp. When you say go for 18's I guess go for the 18.75? Anybody think any fitment issues will come around?

naw if they are for yr car they should fit!....just ask the people you are getting them from if they will fit a tc.

Generally many 5x100 bolt pattern wheels will fit. Once you start getting into 19s or anything wider than a 8" or 8.5" whee, you're going to start worrying about rubbing, but not all the time.

Get 18s, I am not a fan of 19s...as they create too much headache in the long run. And buying tires for them 19s are a _____!

i vote for the 18's as well. Those are going to smoke on a bsp.......i've considerd going with that finish too on my bsp. just haven't found a style that screams yet.....those are close though. we must see pics when you get em on.

I would say go with the 18"s. They fit the wheel well really nice. What's the offset on those? I have 18" 5Zigens and the offset is 35mm. Looks almost flush. Not a fan of 5 spoke, but those should look sweet on your BSP.

If you're going to 'track' your car, stick with the 17"s

Get the 18's... 17x9 probably won't fit unless the wheel has an insanely high offset... like +50 or more.

As soon as I place my order and get tires, mount I will post pics and Im sure you guys will enjoy them as much as I will

18's all the way... I was thinking about getting 17's, too and I'm very very happy I went with the 18's.

wow exactly wat i wanted on my car. The only thing is that I saw somewhere that They weigh around 25 pounds for the 18's. Thats a little on the heavy side. CAn anyone confirm theyre weight?

5GeorgiaBoi5

Maybe somebody can do a photochop with the rims on a bsp! Can anybody do it? Then my parents would probebly let me buy them faster!!

Yes, yes it is. But obviously he isn't concerned about wheel weight or he wouldn't replace rubber and air with metal. He is going for a "look".

Someone was talking about "rubbing"...in the 17", 18" range, the wheel height generally does not affect "rubbing". The overall diameter in the well of the tire and wheel is pretty much the same. The taller rim diameter just lessens the "section height" of the tire that will fit it. The overall diameter remains pretty much constant. Here's a small pic of the measurements i'm talking about.



However, obviously as you widen rim width, you widen overall width. This is where the "rubbing" comes in (+the offset). Wheels height generally does not affect rubbing in this range, wheel width/offset does.

msdbsptc

yea the width does. and these bad boys are 9 inches wide with a 35 offset i believe i read somewhere. the offset could be mistaken but the 17 are 9 inches wide. I did find them in 17 by 7 also if anyone is interested

If I get the 18x7.5 I wouldn't rub correct, unless I got some fat ___ tires right?
