just in case anybody reads it and is contemplating DR19s and then thinks they won't fit.

Good call....... I wanted to say duck call, but it's finally getting old.

Just got off the phone with Drag. They say DR-33 and 34 are the only ones that will fit the Sonic. They do have a 34 with the machined lip but I liked the wider lip on the 9 and 19. Oh well.

In yo face Eric!!!! Hahahaha

Remember that when looking for wheels, just having 105 lug is not everything make sure the hub bore is 57mm or more.

 

[Eric Smit]

yeah, the 19 won't fit.

[dvn]

yeah, the 19 won't fit.

-Eric Smit

Dam it! What size are those? Sucks you can't even get an accurate answer from the manufacturer!

 

[Eric Smit]

17x7.5.

[dvn]

Thanks Eric! And it's almost 2 lbs lighter than the OEM 17's!

There wasn't any fitment issues with the DR 19s?

Also, tell your boy to post some better pics so I can throw them up in the wheel thread.

 

[Eric Smit]

They fit fine. No adjustment needed.

He's also drinking heavily right now. I'll have him take some, or take some myself, tomorrow or Monday.

only two right now.

That'll do for now. Remind me of the tire brand and size please, also offset if you have it. I'm lazy.

 

[dvn]

I believe those are 42 offset. I'm curious about tire size as well.

 

[Eric Smit]

That'll do for now. Remind me of the tire brand and size please, also offset if you have it. I'm lazy.

Nitto Neo Form, 215/50R17, 40 offset. I'll have to double check the offset, but I'm fairly certain that's the offset.

addendum: as dvn says 42, that sounds right too. give me 5 minutes and I'll get the answer.

17x7.5 5x105 40GBL

40 offset.


-Eric Smit

 

[dvn]

17x7.5 5x105 40GBL

40 offset.


-Eric Smit

Do you happen to know where he got them? Drag only lists them as available in 42 or 45 offset. I only see the 16's with a 40 offset. But then again, they don't list the 5x105 at all!

 

[Eric Smit]

We both got our rims from discount tire. You'll likely have to go to the store to get info though, as it's not showing up on their website.
