Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

IMO these look pretty good on it. IDK bout black on black or nething. I mean maybe I shouldn't mess with the color at all and leave it silver.

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

I think the bottom one is best, personally.

The gold looks nice at first, but I found from my black one w/stock gold rims, that I got sick of it after a while.

Black on black is alright too, but the other thing I found with a black one is that it's hard to see some of the nicer design features of the car; the details stand out more with an accent colour.

My two cents, anyway.

A fair price, but I would recommend getting the exact same Toyos for the other two wheels, I wouldn't want to mix and match on a AWD car. Do a little research and factor that in.

Best advice right there ,
unless you want to break and replace a transmission

Then, as Danny said, you need to post the offset so you can get some feedback on fitment

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

I was wondering if I could fit some 15in momo's on my SVX for winter? They were on my camry and had 205/65/15 rubber, I'm thinking about getting fresh winter tires for them.

Not likely ,
The SVX 16" wheel barely clears the front caliper. The 11" rotor was large for the time.

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

Thanks, Assuming they can clear the brakes would there be any problems with running 15's on the SVX? I'm gonna take it to a tire place and see if one fits. The center of the wheel is fairly open.

Everything seems right, size, pattern, offset,
you need the correct lug nuts, whether flat washer or acorn style,
and some hub centric rings to match the BBS hub diameter to the SVX.

The diameter seems a little high. What is the offset on those stock rims?
