Title: 159 ti 19" wheels to go on my 147 GTA?
Post by: joeciardi on September 22, 2010, 01:59:41 PM
Hey guys, does anybody know if the 19" rims from the new 159 ti will suit my 147 GTA?
Stud pattern, offset, etc??

Cheers,
Joe

Hi,
    Just thought it would be worth mentioning you could go for a set of 147 ti's 17''?
But GTA's have 18'' standard, i think? but if you chose the 147 ti's, I highly suggest
you go to mag wheel and tyre in preston, i recently bought a set with great tyres
for $1800. Its up to you, but if i was you i would stick with the 18's.
Or we could do a swap  :D

haha thanks Dale but that's alright.
They are 17" standard but I want 18" or higher, just can't seem to find any that fit.

I chekced out the place in Preston and they are going to let me know when there's new stock in.

found em, not really after chrome but appreciate the tip off.


Further to this, does anybody know if you can use wobble bolts or anything to fit a 5x110 wheel onto my 5x98 hub??

18 inch GT rims are a straight fit:

That would need BENT bolts! Wobble bolts (which I wouldn't use btw) would be ok for 98 - 100 pcd...just draw a circle in those other diameters and look how large the difference is.

Before switching wheels between models or non vehicle brand genuine, after pcd check for offset, hub hole size and inner wheel design clearence to caliper.
