GC Galant Hardtop - Rota's (NEW PICS)

Nath76LA · Post by **Nath76LA** » Wed Jun 08, 2011 3:44 pm

They are the correct PCD for a Galant and 15's should fit without a problem. At a guess the offset shouldn't be a problem either but the best way to know is to measure it but as GTO said you can fit spacers.

Here's my opinion (for what it's worth).
Don't put old school rims on your hardtop. I read somewhere a quote by you, that you thought modern rims would be more suitable, considering the modern type style of interior that you have. I agree with this 100%.

If you want to spend a lot of time and money returning the interior to stock looking to make old school style rims suit the car then do it. But for me, I wouldn't bother.

I am not a fan of Superlites btw. Not on a Galant anyway.

Very nice mate, looking forward to seeing them fitted.

Still trying to work out tyres for them

Post by **astronturbo77** » Mon Jun 20, 2011 8:39 pm

what offset and width are they?
test fitted them yet, how do they fit?

mrgrims · Post by **mrgrims** » Mon Jun 20, 2011 9:45 pm

Plus 20 and 15x7

Haven't been out to where it located yet to test fit them

mrgrims · Post by **mrgrims** » Tue Jun 21, 2011 10:05 pm

I hope these are for the front being +20. What size are the other two?

mrgrims · Post by **mrgrims** » Tue Jun 21, 2011 10:17 pm

All are plus 20

mrgrims · Post by **mrgrims** » Tue Jun 21, 2011 10:26 pm

Why's that?

Post by **A112H** » Tue Jun 21, 2011 10:27 pm

MMM, I think I would have wanted +-0 for the rear. I think with a +20 you will have a pretty big gap between the rim and the rear gaurd. Should fit nice on the front though.
My rears are 15x8 +-0 and there is still about 2cm between tyre and gaurd

Bit late now I suppose =S

Post by **A112H** » Tue Jun 21, 2011 10:42 pm

Yeah I guess it is. You started this thread asking for help, lots of members advised on offset. Why did you ask for help if you were going to ignore advise? I am sorry for being a nag but I really think you will be un happy with a +20 rim on the back.
Not wanting to sound like an old witch but you asked and ignored.

I thought I did take the advice lol reading back through it kinda says it all but worst case is I run spacers right?

These wheels were suggested in previous comments, I asked if they would fit and took the advice given.

Post by **A112H** » Tue Jun 21, 2011 11:01 pm

They will fit, but as in the pic I posted of my hardtop the 15x8 +-0 doesn't quite fill the rears.
Depends on the look you are going for really. I like gaurds to be filled and to do that with a 15x7 +20 on the rear you might need to run a 20mm or 25mm bolt on spacer.

mrgrims · Post by **mrgrims** » Tue Jun 21, 2011 11:05 pm

Well I'll give it a go if they don't look quite right I'll bolt on some spacers
All the same I thing the new wheels will make it look Alot better than with
Stocks on it lol

Post by **A112H** » Tue Jun 21, 2011 11:08 pm

Yes they will look a lot better.
What we need is a few contra deals, say one member buys a set of +20's and another member buys a set of +-0's and swap 2 for 2 wheels. Problem is most sellers wont do split offsets.

Most tyre shops and Ebay sellers won't, but if you go either directly through the manufacturer (Rota, Performance etc) or through authorised dealers that cater to the drift crowd (AJPS, Otomoto, Option1 etc) they generally will.

Post by **astronturbo77** » Tue Jun 21, 2011 11:52 pm

you could nearly go 15x8 0 offset all round on a coupe $:\$

mrgrims · Post by **mrgrims** » Sun Jul 03, 2011 9:56 pm

Now to suit some 195's

mrgrims · Post by **mrgrims** » Sun Jul 03, 2011 10:52 pm

tossing up between 195/50/15 or 195/60/15

Hotwire · Post by **Hotwire** » Sun Jul 03, 2011 11:17 pm

Wow - I'm shocked just how sunken 15x8 0 is at the rear $:\$

For my coupe i now wonder, superlite 15x8 +-0 on the front (GH struts) and on the rear, well superlite GTR come in 15x10.... if only could get in the realm of -5 I reckon they would fit... would require a bit of stretch, and no idea what tyres size yet, BUT anyone contribute thoughts?

mrgrims · Post by **mrgrims** » Sun Jul 03, 2011 11:42 pm

mine are 15x7 20+

the fronts are perfect and if your fussy a spacer on the rear but at the moment im not fussed.

Hotwire · Post by **Hotwire** » Sun Jul 03, 2011 11:45 pm

Well that'll teach me to read the thread properly

mrgrims · Post by **mrgrims** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 1:53 pm

It's either toyo proxas 4 or pirelli p6

orangelancer · Post by **orangelancer** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 4:30 pm

i can speak highly of the proxes 4s. they grip like anything in all whether conditions. we got about 40 000kms out of the fronts. the rears could of gotten atleast another 10k. this was on a cj lancer. as for the perllis i have no comment. never driven on them. another good tyre is the kumho ku31. got them on my astra and they grip well too.

mrgrims · Post by **mrgrims** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 9:17 pm

Well i love Pirelli and have used them and they haven been great in the past

but i have only had good reviews from people who use the toyo's so that's what i'm going with =)
just have to wait for the tax back. lol

mrgrims · Post by **mrgrims** » Fri Jul 15, 2011 6:23 pm

Ordered the Toyo's and they will be here next week some time =D
