too small

Wheels look nice. how are the condition of the tires. I wouldn't buy them and then have to fork over another 500 bucks for tires

 

[kashmeister]

Yea they look clean. He said the tires are basically new, but one is a different brand.

I'm only worried about fitment. I don't know much about rims.

And I could probably talk him down to 400

Does anyone have a pic of what this size looks like with a setup like mine?

 

[fastflyinaccord]

we need to know offset...

Its gonna look like a 17" wheel with about a 2 finger wheel gap

 

[kashmeister]

I looked them up. They're Tenzo DC-5 in bronze.

17x7 with 42 offset

And I can get bigger tires later on, like 215/45/17 like most you guys.?

The wheels are 205/40/17..

TIRES are 205/40/17, which is definitely too small for an accord.

17x7 with 42 offset

How do you KNOW this? The info is on the back of the wheels, if you want to make sure.
Also, you had better do a fitment test before you hand over the cash. How do you know what the bolt pattern is? Are you just going to trust that the bolt pattern is 4x114.3?

 

[kashmeister]

They're generic 4lug. And yea I'm definitly gonna put one on before I hand over the money.

My measurements were based on the mfg site, but yea, I'm gonna text the guy and see watsup

Looks like only one bolt pattern to me. Chances are it's 4x100, not 4x114.3. I'd ask the seller what car he had them on.

Ok sounds good.

I'll sell you my rims with 215/45/17's for $450 plus shipping if those don't work out
