Re: Wheels that fit the SVX
Just a guess on my part, but they look style wise like they could be from the Lexus 300 ES, the one that was released round about the same time as the SVX.

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX
To anyone running mustang GT wheels:
Do these require any special kind of lug? Will aftermarket splinedrive lugs work with these? |

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX
Tried to find what I could with the search button before asking. When I get ready to upgrade my rims I really want to go 18". Volk rims apprear to only offer 8.5" width in our bolt pattern. What offset would be needed to make this fit work?
Would these work? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-GR...Q5fAccessories Just trying to do my homework ahead of time. Thanks. I really want TE37's.

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX
Wow, those are hot, Alcyone Lunacy...
I would love to see those on an SVX.

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

Aftermarket spline drives that are cone shaped should work. 12mm x 1.25 pitch lugs, common for Subaru and Nissan. Mazda, possibly Ford, and others use 12mm x 1.5 thread pitch, so the lugs won't thread correctly. Don't cross thread your wheel studs trying. The cone seat shape needs to match between the wheel and the lugs, and has little to do with the car's hub at all. The bolt pattern and hub center bore diameter (or adapter ring to bridge the gap) need to match between the car's hub and the wheel, in addition to the wheel offset fitting in the wheel well properly. The wheel stud thread pattern needs to match between the lugs and the car's wheel stud thread pattern, and has nothing to do with the wheel itself. It is a bit of a triangle of compatibility. I have McGard spline drive, conical-bearing-seat lugs on both my Miata and my Legacy. If I had conical seat wheels (not stock SVX wheels) on my SVX, I would have them there, too. The conical bearing seat is the proper cone-shape, but it is also a spinning bearing, that is independent of the threaded part of the lug nut. It touches the wheel, and stops spinning, while the rest of the nut continues to thread onto the wheel stud. It helps prevent over-torque when tightening the lug, or being too tight to remove later, and it helps keep the lugs from galling the lug seats on the wheel itself. Cliff notes: As long as the mustang wheels fit the car, and they reportedly do, and have a cone seat for the lug nuts, aftermarket spline drives, like the McGard ones, should work fine.

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX
They are certainly very classy rims. They would look super cool on an Ebony car.

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX
I would still like to see these rims work. size, bolt pattern and offset are all fine.
OZ Palladio Tire Rack says they won't clear the caliper bracket, unless you grind it down a little. ,

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX
I am debating....
Would these look very cool, or very ricey on a claret/black and gray-interior SVX... I wish the center cap were smoother, but I kinda like the y-spoke design. Koenig says that it fits the SVX... 17x7, 5x114.3, 40mm offset. 18x7.5 and 19" sizes available, too... but I think I would stick to 17" plus some meaty moderate/low profile tires, like 50-series, instead of pushing for 18s or 19s with really low profile 45 or 40 series. But I just put a set of michelin 16" tires on OE wheels on the car... so I'll save some money while those serve nicely. Maybe then I'll go with dedicated 16" snows, and 17" summers.

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX
Yeah these are forged. I think they are a rare prototype of a rim made by GRAMS lite, made by Rays just like the volks. A great price for these and would be cool to retain the motion aspect of the stock rim along with adding a nice tuner look. (and a STEAL at the price they are listed at! Volks will rum you 3 times this price- I am just broke after importing the FLATT catback)
But nobody answered my Q- would these fit? From my calculations of backspace and offset vs the stock rim I would have to say yes but I am not 100% sure, what offset do you guys recommend on an 18x8.5 rim?
