Hey Guys, I'm trying to figure out what rims I can tuck over the Akebonos. Preferably looking for the smallest size possible so I can run smaller (more affordable) winters on them.

Anyone looked into this yet?

 

18s are the smallest we can run

 

Check with one of the dealers, ie RavSpec

Different wheels can have different builds to work with brakes

 

I called Tirerack and Discount Tire, both were able to confirm which wheels could or could not clear the BBKs.

 

Consider yourself lucky. I've always had issues with my local Discount Tire's location over little things.

 

Matt? That you? Are you trolling upstream, buddy?

You might want to ask this question in the Coupe forum. There are far more 2-doors with the Akebono BBK than there are Sedans. Might even want to be more specific in the thread title: "Winter Rims that fit over the Akebonos" In that way, people will know right away what you're trying to do.

 

Dont know what happen to my post but 18 and bigger. 17 wont fit.

 

Back from the dead, but I ended up with some 18" PF01 Rims for track duty, I can imagine that even some 18" rims wont' fit over these bad boys!

 

I got 18" MB Twists from discount tire direct but the fronts won't clear had to pick up 5mm spacers. Other than that they are nice rims.
