SKperformance Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 i talked to one gy before and he said they fit but rubbed alot because of the offset but another guy said they fit fine i say they the should bolt on but will rub depending on the year ,will be how much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedRacer959 Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 I looked into it before. The difference is definatetly the offset. After that, the GS rims are 1/2" wider or something like that. The will fit, but you'll have to buy wheels spacers for your car. 10-15mm wheel spacers should do the trick. YOu can get them off ebay cheap.

SKperformance Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 wheel spacers will not do anything they will only cause the rim to rub more a front wheel drive car will have a more negative offset about 43 mm for the es while a rea wheel drive will have about 35-40mm offset which means the rear wheel drive car has the rims center hub closer to the middle of the rim which pushes the outerlip further away from the car so adding a spacer is only makeing problems worse with no good effects if it was the other way around it would work better but you should still never use spacers they are best in a 5mm and nothing over as they flex on cornering and are for manily brake caliper clearence issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
es3doubleO Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 I have 17" chrome gs rims on my 92 es. I used 1/4" spacers in the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
