I'm undecided on what I really want for wheels. I keep looking at these.

Running 215 45 17s on the stock RS wheels with 1.75" spacers. No rub, and looks perfect imo.

1.75? Seems huge. I like it.

Correction. 1.25......lol

I got mixed up. Was planning on 3/4 but all they had was 1.25 in stock when I was there.

And they are on! So happy. Now I just need to paint the car Sunshine Orange (Subaru) or matte Olive.

What are the stud sizes for a 2014 Sonic ls. I got wheels that are the same offset (+39) as a stock Sonic, and I got 25mm spacer/adapters to poke a little bit. I'm also going from a 195 to 205 in tire size. Just wondering on the stock stud size so if I have to cut some off so the stud won't stick out of the spacer

A little better picture:

Stock RS wheels, 215s, with 1.25" spacers and lowering springs. No rub, just a hair of protrusion. Maybe .1 or .2"

Those wheels look slick. It wouldn’t hurt to dip some of that chrome trim white to help them pop (and if you didn’t like it peel it off). I almost ordered my wheels in white but ended up ordering hyper black chrome. Fingers crossed that they’ll look as good as I picture in my head lol

I dont think I'll do white trim because next outside appearance mod is painting the car either Gloss Sunshine Orange or Olive Matte. Still havent made up my mind. Only thing I have against white is that they get super dirty. I clean the wheels nearly every other day. I knew they would get dirty but every day it rains they get as dirty as in the pictures. And in Indiana, it has rained a lot lately...

Oh I know I have white rims on my ‘90 Nissan 300ZX. Brake dust is the worst...have you considered having the car vinyl wrapped? If done right it looks good and you don’t have to worry about any painting flaws.

I havent looked into it as it will probably be a year or two til I get able to do it. I'm just worried about rock ships on the front and not easily being able to repair it like painting would be. One chip on vinyl and it looks jank wouldnt it?

That I’m not sure about. I’ve always heard vinyl is pretty durable but I’m not 100% on how durable it actually is. There’s actually a Dodge Demon I’ve seen around town that was black but the guy had it wrapped in Matte Olive and it looks sick.

But to keep the thread on topic...here’s what I have on the way. JNC014 17x9.25 in Hyper Black Chrome [emoji51]

Saw this the other day and had to get a picture. I would actually paint all cars in GTA when I played matte olive with white wheels and red accents. Always loved that color combo but I'll just stick with the olive and white for the sonic (or the orange) I'll keep the wheels white either way.
