Does anyone make style 44 wheels that are bigger than OEM size? I like the style 44 look a lot. However, I also like the size that the M68s come in. 17x8.5.

Does anyone make 44s in 17x8.5?

Thanks

Do you really need that extra half inch? Plus, a 330 doesn't have enough power to really benefit from a staggered set-up, and the 17x8.5 are too wide for the front.

I thought Discount Tire had 18 inch type 44 Replica rims a while back. You may want to look there.

Can anyone prove or disprove this? I thought we covered this a while back and that a 17x8.5 would infact fit on the front.

How wide are the 18" V spokes?

According to CD-55, 8.5 generally fits, so long as you don't turn the wheel too far.

I suspect that really wide tires will not fit well up front. (i.e. S-03s.)
