Rim Size
Saturday, March 01, 2008 6:46 PM
I am Looking around at Some Different rims and i know that i can fit 17 inch rims. Is it Possible to Fit 18 inch Rims? Would i Have to to something to make them fit? I Drive a 2001 Chevy Cavalier sedan(Base Model). I am thinking of going with the Motegi Mr7 (silver) or Motegi Dpk (Hyper Black).

I don't think that will be a problem,
you can fit 20's, it will just all depend on if you are lowered and what the offsets are, I think there is alot of into in the stickies that will help with your search.

if 18's, something like a 18x7.5 with maybe a 42 offset will be ok,
I am sure others will fit too, but I don't know.

yes 18s fit fine any GOOD tire dealer or rim shop will be able to set up the perfect tire for u. when u get tires just get them so they are maybe a little wider then stock and no higher then stock cause any bigger diamiter then u thro off ur speedo and od.easiest thing go to a local tire rim shop and tell them u want 18s with rubber for ur cavalier they should have no problem doing so if they have issues fitting them then just walk out cause they are idiots.

I am thinking about going with 18x8 Motegi Dpk(hyper Black) with 225/40r18 Tires. I don't want the rim size to be to small and the tires to be to thin, because i want to get as much ground clearance as possible, because i will probably have my Bomex Body kit on when i get the rims.

you said your worried about clearance ?. wont be a problem even with your kit. but once you put 18"s on your car its gonna looks retarded big time.. just my opinion.

lowered with 18s > stock height with 18s

Instead of spending that kind of cash, look into AGX adjustable struts, Eibach Pro kit springs, and maybe something smaller, like 16's or 17's.


16/17's + lowered > 18's stock ride height
