Can't wait to get these 18x8.5 fifteen52 tarmacs!

 

[rdss]

That is going to be nice looking!

 

[Stratton_Chevrolet_Sonic]

Yea I can't wait at least it will have a different look than any other sonic

 

[rdss]

That is a true statement! Did you aim for a full flush offset? Or are you not wanting to stretch tires for that kind of fitment?

 

[Stratton_Chevrolet_Sonic]

Yea it's going to be pretty tight ill Probly have to do a slight stretch on the tires.. I'm going to test fit the wheels then order tires to be sure on the right size for fitment and look.. They will be tight to the strut too being 8.5 wide

 

[rdss]

It's going to be sick, can't wait until you get them in.

 

[Stratton_Chevrolet_Sonic]

Yea me too it's going to be about 12 days

 

[rdss]

That's going to be a long 12 days. I've still got about a month and a half before I see my boy and the car again.

Those look like Ken Block's wheels!
I've wanted to try those wheels with an off-color spoke like his, like all black with one blue spoke...
Similar to the front wheel here, just no DC stuff

Ew. Eurofag wheels.

Don't disrespect the Offset King!

Actually, I think they will look good on the slab sided Sonic if you can manage to get them flush and slightly tucked...

It's just that I saw about 3 dozen Golfs with the same wheels at H2O last year.


Somebody should dig around for a retro Chevy wheel style that we can adapt to the Sonic. And if you say vette "saw blades" I will kick you square in the balls.

 

[rdss]

It sounds like Stratton is going to take his time and fit the wheels and tires properly (like everything else he does with his Sonic). So, Euro or not, I think it will look great once he gets his tires picked out.

 

[Opticon]

I like the Gforce Sport tires because the sidewalls are smooth and slim. No fat rim protectors or beefy shoulder treads.

They are a bit noisey though.




Oh... and I dare you.

 

[rdss]

Those are sick! I wonder if the offset is the same as the Sonic!

 

[Eric Smit]

oh damn. looks like I got the wrong wheels.

[Opticon]

or 18" impala wheels...

And who cares about offset or pattern? Just adapt to them.

That's what I am doing with the stocker LTZ wheels!
