seems like the fitment wont work, but the seller has "Legend" in the description. Nice looking wheel, but not sure if it will work. Your advice is appreciated!

um

if i recall correctly sine they are 7.5 inches they will fit although they are +40. you can fit 8 inch +40s on the rear so you may want to look into it further. it also depends on if you want the sunken in look of most fwd cars or if you like the flush look of rwd cars

8" via 40+ offset is extremely flush and only applies to the rear (on coupes), obviously the front would stick out quite significantly, this would be the same situation for 7.5" wheels via 40+, but not as severe. 7" wide wheels via 40+ offset is already pushing it a little. That is not to say 7.5 via 40 won't work, because I have always seen 7.5 via 42+ offset.

Mine are 17x7.5 with +48 offset and are just at the limit of what will fit without (a) rubbing on lowering/bouncing or (b) looking ghetto. Part of the issue is not the rims, but what tires you are using. Mine are 235 profile vs the normal 215 or popular 225 and that sticks out more than others. FWIW, I think the offset is too low and you should look elsewhere.

Honestly, if I were you, I would buy wheels made by a more reputable company like Work, SSR, Ray's, etc. From experience, I'm a believer in that phrase, " you get what you pay for" at least most of the time. ;)

Seriously though, I think your Legend deserves no less being a rare blk/blk GS in mint condition.

thanks for your post, and your compliment on my car. I guess you saw the pics of it in my other post:) OK, I will hold out for some good quality wheels. Till then, the GS wheels will have to do...they look awesome, just want bigger. You know what I mean?
