    Wheels

    Anyone know if 18" wheels will be ok on a Galant? Just got mine and have a st of wheels that i used to have on a Ford Cougar that i reckon would look smart.

    That brings me on to my next question...they are both 4 stud but i know other things affect whether they will be ok, but i'm no expert so can anyone tell me if they'll be ok?

    As it's barely stopped raining since i got the Galant i haven't even offered hem up to see if they look like they'll fit.

    Cheers

    i don't think they'll fit, the offset is similar but Ford Cougar and Galant PCD (the spacing between wheel studs) is different, Galant is 4 x 114.3mm, Cougar is 4 x 108mm

    Are they multifit, ie do they have 8 holes around the hub, some of which are slightly further away from the centre than others?

    If you've already got the car then there is no harm trying

    No mate, just the 4 holes.

    i have 18" on my car and i don't any spacers. They go straight on. They came with the car and they are in gold, on a black VR4. Correct Tyres are 225/40/18.



    VR4 has 5 stud and PCD can be found on a search for PCD.

    Hope this helps

    Keep in mind the differences in tyre prices. Just found out something interesting say in the case of 225/XX/XXeagle F1s;

    17s = $220ish
    18s = $420ish
    19s = $450ish

    Im swapping back to 17s.

    Could put the tyres off mine onto them, but could you be any further away!?

    Mine are the Mille Miglia Spider+ as seen in my sig above, that reminds me must get a new one sorted with the Galant in.
