Rims Questionnnn

will 18s fit on stock cavs.. cuz if so i got some coming.... i will be trading my winter beater truck for some 18s and cash. just wondering if they will fit.... i dont know the tire size.. but he said they are really really skinny lo pro tires. thanks

lol ur an idiot, your car is gonna ride so horrible. If you think you car rides bad now, jsut wait.

Sorry must have missed the part where he said the car rode bad to being with. Beside I don't see where you get off calling him an idiot for asking a question.

Yes they should fit. Not sure how skinny of a tire you would need but I am guess around a 35-40 series tire to make it work.

I'm putting 17's on my car, maybe 18's. I could put up to 20's on the front and 22's on the back if I wanted too.

And who said it would ride crappy?

:rofl: That would be funny to see. Kinda of stupid, however somewhat humorious.

Yeah it would look like a drag car. I've seen it done before, just not on a cavalier thou. haha quite humurous.

* wonders where jayson is pulling these comments out of * all i asked was if they would fit. u think i care how it rides?.. pluz when have i ever said it rode bad?..get ur shit straight.. ur making ur self look like a fool.



btw thanks.. i hope they fit..dont see why not if they are the smaller sized tire.

Why do you think you can call every newb an idiot when they ask a question? Do you honestly think you are better than us all? I doubt it. You seriously need to stop being a dickhead to people. You do it more and more and it's very childish.

Oh and the ride won't change if you go with 18's. That's what I have on my car and it is actually quite a bit better than stock. Although I took them off for the winter. I'd honestly wait till after winter to put them on. They suck in the snow because of the low profileness. That is the only bad thing about them. Otherwise they are awesome.

sweet.. not i know im getting them.. thanks man.. i kinda figured they would fit but was just making sure..

so if by checking to make sure they will fit on my car before i trade for my truck makes me a newb, and an idiot..than i guess i am. so be it.

Thers quite a few of us who have 18's on our Cavalier actually. The only difference is bigger size compared to stock...and your speedo might be off a tiny little bit. Not enough to be a problem though. They do let you go around corners faster too.

Yeah 18's should be good. The biggest I'd put on mine are 17's but I'm not a big rim sort of guy. For now I'll keep my stock 16's (LS Sport rims), but eventually I'll get me some better ones.

I also have 18's. Tires are 225/40/18.

Personally i think 17's would look better because you can lower the car a little more and tuck the wheels into the wheel wells a little more. The biggest i would go on my car is 16"......

im basiclly getting the rims for free.. so even if there was a chance they dont fit or i dont want them.. sell them for extra ching and get someones that would fit.

i would get some Rotas....they're lighter and since they're smaller diameter, they won't slow your car down....unless you get some big profile tires...

Drag cars use short wide rims, not 20's and 22's.

I will second the Rotas vote, the only problem I'm having is width. Yeah, the 15's are light as hell, but they are also like 6 inches wide. I think I am going to have to compromise and get some 17's because they're wider.

you can get 16x7's....that's more than wide enough for a light little Cavalier.....i assume they weigh about as much as my car.....~2700lbs

Yeah I was looking for 8 inches wide for my future Talon TSI AWD or Eclipse GSX. Turbo and all wheel drive... mmmmm....

that's overkill on most any DSM...you can get 7" wide tires that'll hold all the power you can give them....when you start getting too wide you'll actually start slowing down your car. You don't have to worry about traction in a TSi so much....its AWD!!!

Drag cars use short wide rims, not 20's and 22's.

Really? Guess they must just look big on the TV. Learn something new every day.

If i was you though keep your stock rims and put really nice proxy tires for the drag strip

They FIT! they are 225/40Z/R18. here are some pics.. once i put them all on it.. will have more pics up..kinda gives it a new look..

Coming off mycardomain thinger...

I'm personally not a fan, but you know everyone has their own opinion. The only rims I like on a cavalier are the ones made for them that come with the sport package.

they fit but they look dumb...very awkward stance IMO

i got them for freee....... boss gave me 4 of these plus 400 bucks for my truck which i paid 300 for..

if i get sick of them i can sell them for ne profit and be happy.. yeah.. the dont fit the 'look' of the cavy..but u cant argue with free.

EDIT: Just looked up the rims.. 300 bucks a piece. these rims are 1 year old.. i dont think i did so bad.. turned a 300 dollar truck into a 1600 sell >.>

bling bling

Yea Boi!

thats even better than my best sell.....i turned a 97 Civic w/ 90k and $1500 into a 99 GSR w/ 48k......but you did a lot more % wise anyway.....

thought about it..and im going to sell the rims.. and getting NEW 18s probably like the new cavys with the 10 spoke star type. yeah i figured i couldnt go wrong.. 300 dollar truck turns into 400 cash plus about 1600 rims/tires.. there 1ish years old..so probably around the 1000 dollar mark.

.. Today i put all the rims on and took these pics of it. I kinda like them but would rather have the money.. have a 4 wheeler coming and need cash. The ride is the same.. and boy.. these tires suck in the snow. but dam.. can u burn them things off.
