Re: Wheels that fit the SVX
No rub with the 245/40-18's....? STi offset? Always like the 5 spoke look.

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX
To those with RX8 wheels: What lug nuts did you use on those? I'm going to have to buy a set, I'm sure, because my current set is a cobbled together mess.

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX
I use either 21 mm x 1.25, 60 degree stock Mazda conical regular (wider) or 12 x 1.25 tuner, "Gorilla" style conical lug nuts. The stock SVX, as you know, have flat/washer faces on them.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/12x1-25-Tune...ht_3069wt_1012 The eBay set are cheaper than the stock Mazda lugs and will fit aftermarket rims if you ever switch. Last edited by fasteract7; 07-25-2013 at 11:19 AM. |

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX
I've had these for a while, used to be silver, but I got bored with them and not having the money for new/different wheels I rattle canned them matte black. They are Velox VX-SCYTHE 17x7.5 Offset +42. Don't pay attention to all the door dings.

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX
I need to replace my tires because one developed a bubble. My wife wants the same Yokohama S Drive. I found 4 on CL but they're 205/40/18 not the 225/40/18 that I am using. Are the 205's too narrow for the weight of the SVX?

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX
I ran 205's as my winter tires with no problem, but they were 55 profile. 40 profile will be very low and prone to a harsh ride and pothole damage.
