i want to buy some white motegi mr7 rims...18 inch...what size bolt pattern how many lugs and what offset???

does this sound right for my car..2000SH...???

size:18" x 7.5"
bolt pattern: 5/100 & 5/114.3
offset: 45

 

bolt pattern is 5x114.3

 

5th gen preludes are 5*114.3 and +55mm offset, stock.

18*7.5's, man? Thats your ball game.

 

if your goin with 18s, go with a 48+ offset to avoid rubbing issues. or go with 35 tires if you get any lower offset. it depend on where you live.

 

The correct bolt pattern is indeed 5 x 114.3 and the Motegi box will have the correct info. You are going to use an 18x7.5 which is OK, but the offset may be a tiny issue- Before you drive off the rack or even mount the tires-make sure that the wheels do clear when you turn from side to side.

 

well i plan on going with a ground control/koni yellow combination for my drop would that rub??? and do they even make motegi mr7's with a 48+ offset??? if so can you tell me where and for a good price thanks!

 

..be ajerk, but if you go w/ 35 series tires, your ride will suck ***! Also, an 18*7.5 wheel is huge, for a front wheel drive car, and will adversly effect your cars performance; e.g. handling and acceleration.

Also, think of the replacement cost of tires, have you looked into how much decent 18 inch tires are? I think you should rethink your purchase, honestly.

 

so how about if i go with 17's would it be the same offset or will those rub too???

 

That should make a difference because your overall wheel diameter including the tire should be the same. It's the offset that kills you

I'm thinking you could just get 5mm wheel spacers...

...as my 'street wheels' 17x7 volk gtn's w/ a +45mm offset, and a 215 45 17 tire. the difference b/w the stock rolling diameter and the current one is ~ 2.3% per this tire calculator.

Youll be fine w/ the 215 45 17 setup on a 17*7 and a +45mm offset. Remember the larger the +offset number is, the more inward the wheel is.

 

so anything 45 and above for an offset would be good??? where can i get 5mm wheel spacers??

 

not unless you get light weight rims, i got 18x7.5 volks le37t and my launch feels a lil quicker with falken ziex tires. maybe it's just the help from my TEIN SS. i ain't really into racing so 17z would be good if you want top performance IMO.

 

what offset are you volks
i want to some bronze 18 7.5 TE37 on my 5th gen

 

I have some ADR's for sale 17x7 w/yok parada specII's---215/45/17..
