Hey guys,

Looking at finaly getting some exterior mods to my junky mirage lol. There is a local cruze group and i cant have my car looking to gay!!

Anyway its a 99 Mitsu Mirage (same size as 99 Lancer) and i was wondering what size, mountings, ofsets i should be looking at.

Not looking to spend over $1.5k and i want 17-18 if they will fit.

So yeh question 1

What sizes will fit and what mountings, offsets do i need

Question 2

Where is a good place to buy theme these days and what is a good price (dont wanna get ripped off )

Thanks guys would ask at the mlga forums but they are down :'-( boo

Note the bold section

This should be in the Garage section.

Gah! sorry wasnt sure where to put it lol. I was thinking maybe the beginers but i guess not

Thanks. Mods can you maybe move?

Go with 17s.. should fill the guards enough, without having to worry about getting the guards rolled so you dont have scrubbing (even though you may have scrubbing with the 17s, i dont know).
Can easily pick up 17s (with new tyres) for under $1500

your stud pattern is 4x100 (i think!)

offset would be around +40 but depends on how much you want the wheel to stick out or if you need much brake clearance or whatever.

Tyre size you're probably looking at 205/40/17 or 215/40/17...

Make sure you get good tyres! so many aftermarket wheels these days come with Nankang tyres or some other crap and from what i've heard they are barely acceptable in the dry and crapehouse in the wet.

If you're in Sydney, go Tempe Tyres.

Yep, start by looking at Tempe. www.tempetyres.com.au

Hey mate thanks this is just what i was after, tempe looks good. I like of these:




Its a white car so i was going to go with black to ofset it a bit, also though of shadow chrome... maybe lol

And yeh thanks for the heads up ill make sure they dont put Nankangs on evan if i have to spen a few $100 more

let me know what you think guys

Thanks

I LOVE white cars with black mags and a dark tint. Get the first ones you listed, the will look sex!

Thanks mate yeh i like the 1st ones, girlfriend likes them best as well so they will probly be the go.

Woo woo

Go at least 18s.

Rolling diameters:

215/40 17 = 603.8
215/35 18 = 607.7

So the radius of an 18 is only 2mm more than a 17, scrubbing won't be any more of an issue.

I think 18's would look way to over proportioned on a tiny car like a mirage, 17's would be an idea size in my opinion.

You're joking right?

Phil

lol phill thats right go 20s
