ok when i get my ge8 hopefully soon i was wondering if the konig helium's can fit on the ge8

 

Currently I don't think so, I also wanted them for my car. But the 16x7 comes in a +40 we need at least a +43 to fit the GE

 

just letting you guys know the heliums tend to bend very easy. I personally know two guys that had to replace one or more of them. Nice looking rim with a good weight to size ratio but be careful.

 

Couldn't you use some wheel spacers to get them to fit if the offset is too low?

 

no you would not want spacers because that would push the wheels out even further.

also rota's tend to do the same thing with breaking and bending. but it really depends on what they hit (pot holes ect....)

 

the difference between 40 and 43 is very slim so i really dont think it would be an issue

 

just tuck em a but looks sexier and uneven tire wear doesn't matter...much.

 

43mm ET on a 7J wheel will sit flush up front on a GE... 40 will poke out up front unless you run a very narrow tire..185/195

 

I love how ge8's don't need a super-low offset to be flush

 

yet, it sucks when you're tryin to pick wheels that dont rub

 

Some of the bigger wheel companies can do custom offsets.... if you have $$$ Work and SSR are just a few that can

 

why not just run the stock tires

 

Good point

 

can the stock tires fit on the heliums?

 

sure if you like the stretched look...

I plan to run a 205/45 16"

 

stretch is good. less rubbage

 

You won't get a stretched look with 205/45/16 size tires on 16x7 Heliums. And stretched rims are only good for drifting, which our Fits can't do. Or for people who just want the stretched look. Other than that, there are no positive performace effects.

 

i never said a 205 will stretch on a 16x7. I was refering to the 185 which would give better fitment to the 40 offset as stated above and i said it would be better for him if he does not want to rub.
