Aftermarket Wheels: Post'em Up!!!

[dvn]

A little off topic but what are you guys with bigger tires (225 etc.) running for tire pressure?

 

[SSonic]

Has anyone on here done wider wheels and spacers yet? Also, will it put too much stress on studs and/or wheel bearings? Also, would it be bad or dangerous to put spacers on rear wheels but not front? thanks guys for all input, much appreciated

spacers in rear alone should be fine. wider wheels and spacers should be fine too.

I am. DDM's spacers sit on the hub, so I'm not worried. Not dangerous for rear only.

dvn- 35 psi.

38psi for best MPG.

25psi for best qtr launches.

I have 225's on the LTZ 17's and I'm running the door sticker pressure and didn't have any wear issues before I left.

Derp, when you going to throw some slicks on two of the stock wheels just sitting around in your garage?!

In 2 weeks I'll have a better idea of whether I'll be needing slicks anytime soon.

Has anyone found the Drag DR-19 in Gold? All I have found is the black with our bolt pattern. I would really like them in gold to go with my VR sonic.

not available in our pattern, I was looking into that wheel and I called drag direct and they said black only.

If they have 5x100 or 5x108 you can drill them to our pattern.

They do have them in 5x100 I just had a friend told me to get the 5x100 and use wobble bolts? I don't know anything about this. Does anyone have any info/experience with this?

don't do that.

Never Hurd of them bolts but it does not sound like a good idea

 

[Red Sonic LT]

Another thought was get the black, and find someone to powdercoat them gold for me.

 

[Wong]

a wobble bolt is for cars with threaded holes in the hub - i.e. Mercedes, audi etc

as where the sonic and most cars have the studs pressed into the hub.

 

[$ub$onic]

Ooh OK I've seen them but never knew that was what they where called

 

[sonic24740]

I wouldn't use them even if i could..

 

[Red Sonic LT]

So if I went the adapter route, with let say a size like 5x100-5x114.3 which run a 45mm offset would they work with an adapter?

 

[Preloader]

If they were 6.5" - 7" wide........ yes.

Plenty of people run wobble bolts without issues.

The only thing is that the Sonic doesn't have bolts; It has pressed in studs and lug nuts.
As far as I'm aware of, only Euro cars have wheel bolts.
And even if the Sonic had bolts, the wobble bolts only allow 2-3mm of wiggle room.
