http://m.ebay.com/itm/Euromeister-Alloy-Re...%257Ciid%253A24You may want to go to the Automotion website and look under Euromeister, find out what kind of deal you can get. They also give you a 25% off over a certain dollar amount. I picked up mine at a great discount. I picked up the 17", 8s and 9s for a very reasonable price.

Yes, they fit. Here are 7s and 9s on a friends car. You may want/need spacers. Tire availability is OK in 16". Check Tire Rack.

Actually call them and check the real availability. We offer the same wheels at Pelican and get them from Automotion who is out stock more than they are in stock. They report lead times of 2-3 weeks that has turned into 2-3 months and longer. Pretty good wheels for the price.

I'm running fixse fm10, 8 and 9, 17" wheels on mine. No spacers. Running 225 front and 245 in the rear. Mine are steel AA replica flairs. 255 rubbed in the rear unless there racing tires without the rib.
The Michelin pilot sports have a rubber rib to help prevent curb rash on the rims.

Do you recall the offsets you're using on the 8s and 9s?

Tire availability in 16" is limited for all season radials. Your choice is BFG or Kumo. If you go with a summer tire you have a couple more options. In 17" you have many more summer options and a couple more all season options. None of them wear well in 16 or 17" but that's not a huge concern for a limited mile vehicle.
I'm at the same place you are. I have a pair of 16x7 Fuchs. Do I get a pair of 9's for the rear and have limited tire availability or go with a set of 17's which provides more tire options but doesn't look quite as good (IMHO)?

https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?ti...romCompare1=yesThat's a nice tire for the rear. It has a diameter of 24.7" and 9.7" wide. What size are you going to run on the front? I couldn't find a matching Toyo in 205, 215 or 225.

does anyone have any idea if 275s will fit on the rear?
jmill
Nov 7 2016, 06:58 PM
275/40 17 is 10.8 inches wide. I'd say you'd need to gently massage an AA metal flare out at least an inch for it to fit.

And a steel tubular chassis. Those tires will pull the car apart.

Do the Euromeister wheels require Ball Type or Conical Type wheel nuts when using wheel studs ???

Not really sure which nuts they use - I'll have to talk with Eric about that as I'm installing the studs pretty soon.
The front tire are 10mm larger than Mr. Cannons and the rears are 20mm. He has no problem and I'm not running sticky slicks or anything crazy. I have some good chassis bracing and trailing arm support. I'm not planning on racing but I may do a few track days a year. You really thing I'll pull the car apart?

hmm...I run 16x8 all around and can't imagine getting anything wider on the rear. I had to roll the flares and they ALMOST rub the inner chassis - had to put 3/4" spacer on them. there is no more room under there with 245 Bridgestone RE-11 tires.

A tech at Automotion told me last night that I need to use conical nuts, now I am confused!!! I was prepared to purchase the same nuts you bought, but the tech stopped me and said wheels use conical nuts ???

Dec 2 2016, 02:49 PM
Now I'm confused. The rims look like they take ball type wheel nuts. The nuts haven't showed up yet so I can't confirm it.
jmill
Dec 2 2016, 04:33 PM
The tech doesn't know what he's talking about. Checked when I got home, they are ball type. Holes have a radius to them that match the ball type nuts I received today. I notice that they now have the wrong lugs on the website under "frequently bought together".

Custom flares Bob...

I also think yours are the 7" and 9" flares - GT Racing and possibly others make the larger 9" and 11" which would fit a bigger combination but wouldn't have the balance of your car with those sizes all the way around.
