I started with a red/purple Galant 2.0L -98 and this is how it turned out:

I still got it in my garage, it´s going to be up for sale soon here in Sweden. Just thought I´d show you that I´m not completly new to the 8G.

Tell me what you guys think!:happy:

Looks great mate. That spray job must of cost a bit! Really like the wheels and idea of having white writing on the tyres. What alloys are they?

I think thats hot man, really like the front skirt, makes a world of difference over the normal skirt on that model i reckon... similar lines to an 8g, infact i would probably put that on an 8g if it fit, its cool
and yeah the white writing on the tyres is cool too, dont like the 'altezza' tail lights much though. just coz

Hi, Thanks for starters!

I bought the alloys in Indoneisa on a trip, can´t remember the brand. (19*7.5")

It IS a 8G. The 8G was on the market in -97 here in Sweden. Does it really look like a 7G????? :inquisiti

I think he might have been confused by the wording of your original post. It definately looks like an 8G :)

Great car by the way, were the wheels 5 stud? If they were you coudl pull them across to your VR-4

No, the wheel studs on the swedish Galant´s are 4*114.3. Really anoying...

I can´t use spacers either, allready got a ET of 45 on the wheels so they would stick outside the body of the car. Anoying!

If anyone got a set of black 19" with cromed edges, hit me up!

How wide are the wheels? 7.5" I think you said, and how wide is the smallest spacer/adapter you can find to 5x114.3?

The reason I ask is with a 45mm offset on 7.5" wheels you should be able to go out about another 10mm or so without much of a problem, although I do beleive most hub adapters are thicker than that. I guess you've sold the wheels now anyway.

I´ve thought of spacers allready, but as you wrote, hub adapters require´s to be thicker than 10mm. I´ve also thought about rolling my fenders and see how much I can get them out.

I´m still researching the last bit.


Thanks anyways!
