Rim fit

[Klo42492]

I got some xxr 18x8.5 rims for my 03 eclipse, it has a 2" drop. Does anybody no if I will have to put a spacer and/or get longer studs?

Nah just run a gt wing and you be good

[Sammich]

you need 3" studs

[Klo42492]

Gt wing? Isn't that a spoiler? What does that have to do with rims?

And do you no by any chance the bolt size I would have to use?

Have you tried mounting the wheels to the car yet?

[Sammich]

bolt size is 13x2.25

[Klo42492]

So I'm guessing you have or had an eclipse?

And no not yet I'm trying to figure out what I've got to buy first like bolts and stuff

They're all fucking with you...

You won't need longer studs UNLESS you're running a spacer. The reason for the longer studs is so that when you run spacers (which pushes the entire rim outward by the width of the spacer), your lug nuts have enough threads to properly keep the wheel on. Otherwise, your lugs only grab a few threads and eventually strip, and the wheel comes off.

What you need to consider is the fenders. If they're too wide for your car at it's current height, then the tire will scrub the fender. if that's the case, you'll need to roll your fenders.

For general questions like "wtf is this noise" IA is decent. But for anything more technical you need to be on your cars home forum.

Although beware... you'll get your question answered on club3g, but those guys are huge dicks.
