Will this size fit an LS? will they look too small, let me know your opinions. Thanks. If you have them on post pics please

They are almost exactly the same size (< 0.5% difference) as stock 235/50R17.

 

[itsnotmydaddys]

they are 18 tho, so i guess it doesnt matter

.12" differance ~1/8th of an inch larger than stock

The guy just sent me an email saying that he wasnt sure if the wheels would fit. He said he checked a website and it said they wouldnt. HE had them on a 3.0 Jaguar. This is the information he sent me about the wheels, will you let me know if theyre a go.
the PCD is 5x114.3 what ever that is and the ET is 40 offset is 5x4.5 yes it was a jaguar 3.0 which is made by Ford so i figures they would fit until i check the website

The LS bolt pattern is 5x108.

yeah the guys a dumbass and forgot to mention that he "originally" bought them for his 05 galant, so yeah they wont fit. Guess im going back to the american racing 17s.

Which ones are they? i followed the link but didn't find the exact ones you would be talking about.

which ones the volvo rims. http://stlouis.craigslist.org/pts/442184126.html

Those Volvo wheels in the Craigslist ad should fit, if they'll clear the calipers (I think they will, but the only way to know for sure is to put them on the car); the bolt pattern is correct (4.25" ~= 108mm). If those are the 235/45ZR18 tires you mentioned, you should be golden--the difference in circumference is small enough that it won't make a significant difference on the speedo.

These tires are 215-50 17 theyre yokohomas, I picked up the wheels last night so I hope they work.

Those look alright. I like Craig List I got my wheels from off of there and it was a great deal.

Now lets see if they work out for yah.

Sweet. Your speedo will read a little bit high (see the other thread for the calculated differences), but other than that, you should be good to go.

Does the stud size matter. The wheels came with studs that were on the volvo, Im not sure if it matters what car the lugs came off of. Does anyone know the size of the LS studs.
