JStrateger -> 96 eclipse gst 18in rim problem (11/28/2007 12:25:28 PM)

I want to put 18 inch rims on my 96 Eclipse but there is a bar comming from my hub to my A-Arm that is stopping them from fitting from with tires, The bar is attached to the hub. what can I do to put these on?

Smaller tires.....But 18's should fit unless there huge tires, or the offset is way off.

I've got 18's on my '99 GS-T and they fit just fine. My tires are 215/35/18 and nothing rubs. What size tires are you running? Also what size wheels? Mine are 18x8.0 I think.

I got 215/35/19 tires and  19 x7.5,  + 42mm rims and nothing rubs.

how are you running 235's on an Eclipse??

The tires were already pretty small, I was going to buy the set with tires from someone for 150.00. I think I'll pass and get some 17". I've seen people with 19" fit on an eclipse, I just don't see how.

its all about the right offset.
