Will these Wheels fit my SVO?

[chalkys_explorer]

I was mucking around tonight and found these online. They are an ASA AR1. They are spec'd for a 93 Probe GT. 17x8, 22.9lbs, 35mm offset. I think they'd look cool with a 245/45/17. $139 each.

those would look SWEET

i'm a lil new at this how much should a decent wheel weigh what do the wheel measurements mean?

[svono50]

The larger the diameter, the harder it is to keep it light. I have seen 17x8" rims down to ~14.5 lbs, but a good lightweight rim would be somewhere between that and 20 lbs. Any pounds you can take off the rotating mass (i.e.- wheel) is a very good thing.

For reference: The stock 16x7" SVO wheel with a 225/50ZR16 BFG Comp T/A scales at 52 lbs, a 17x8" 96 Cobra wheel with a 245/45ZR17 Yoko A520 scales at 50 lbs, a 16x6.5" SVT Contour wheel with a 205/55ZR16 BFG KDWS scales at 39 lbs, a 17x7" Subie Legacy wheel with a 205/50ZR17 Yoko A82 scales at 44 lbs. These are wheels that I have personally weighed over the years.

Whats the weight of the stock wheel with no tire???

FYI...

I am finally happy to say that I got new tires yesterday. I have the 06 Split 5 spoke GT wheels that are 17x8.

Fronts - 225/45/17
Rears - 255/40/17

As you can see, I think they fit pretty nicely... I have Motorsport C Springs on the front and rear of the car. I also have Hotchkis Caster Camber Plates. Everything else is stock. From the 5 minutes that I have driven it, there have been no rubbing issues.

Also, as you can see...I did an amateur paint job on the wheels. I painted the center part of the wheel a graphite metallic grey color and left the lip polished. The only issue with the wheels are that I cannot put on the front center caps. I will cut out the center of the cap, so I can at least put on the outer part...(if that makes sense).

I think I'd try cutting the dome part off the dust cap, and welding a flat round piece in place of the dome. Seems like those things got much more space under them than necessary.

those look awesome man!

Those do look nice! Looks like the 05+ Mustangs will breath some life into our wheel choices again...sweet.

Thanks guys. I will post some more pics this weekend when I get her out in the sun.

will the 06 split 5 spoke wheels fit with the stock tires that came on them? what size are the stock tires for them?

note: for a stock svo suspension and brakes

None of the stock 05-up tires (235/55/17's) will fit right on an SVO. It will look like a 4x4. Most use 235/45, 245/40, or 245/45 profiles.

I agree...that is why I bought these wheels without tires and then picked out the tires that I wanted for the stance that I wanted.

Here are some pics that I took this past weekend. I still may lower it about a half an inch front and rear. I don't seem to have any rubbing issues...it doesn't even look like it would rub if I lowered it.
