Default Looking at the Buddy Club P1 Racing II Rims -Fitment?-

I was looking at these rims for my car. I'm getting a bit tired of the Racing Harts I have now and I'm looking to change them to match the color scheme I have planned for my car. smile.gif

Below is the picture of the Buddy Club P1 Racing II



There is a size 17x7 4x114.3 which I believe is the size for the 2001 Tiburon (correct me if I'm wrong), but the problem lies in the offset of the wheel. If I'm right, the stock offset for the tiburon is +45. The buddy clubs are +35.

Will these fit? I want these so bad. smile.gif

+35 is actually a BETTER offset for 7" wide wheels. Keep in mind, stock offset may be +45, but the stock wheels are only 6" wide Adding that extra 1" to width gives you room to play with the offset. The lower offset (+35) will move the wheels "out" more, and give the wheels/tires a chance to fill in more to the outside edges of the fenderwell.

Just don't expect a drastic improvement. 10mm is only about .39" you might not even notice the difference.

oh yea wow im surprised this topic ended so fast, so did you get those rims, if you did, whats the weight on them puppies, ya see, im looking for a good tire for a set of 17 x 7 RS limited C-Pro's, yea 205 40 17 is a perfect match, but does it look appealing? would 235 35 17 look nicer or would they be to fat and ugly??

edit
ok well, after further research, there is no such thing as a 235 35 17
