Post New Crossfire Owner - Need Wheel Advice

I have recently purchased an '04 Crossfire for my daughter and was wanting to replace the standard set of wheels with a staggered set of 18" wheels. I am trying to get more side wall height to try and reduce the potential damage she would likely get herself in to with the lower profile tires. Please help suggest some possible combinations to look at along with any wheel manufacturers/styles. I would like to buys a set of rims that would not require spacers. Don't know if this is possible. Anyhow, any help would be appeciated.

2006 Ford Mustang GT (Wifes car)
1957 Chevy Belair (My Project)

try mercedes 17 or 18's just get the offset correct the front 35 the rear 22 but that can change with a lip on the rim example a 42 offset with a 2" lip would fit the rear. good luck jim

Wheel / tire size calculator / comparer - RIMS-N-TIRES

Try using this tool.

Put the OEM tire/wheel info on the left and your options (new wheel/tires) on the right. Interference and fitment info is right underneath.

Thanks for the input. Any suggestions on wheel manufacturer and style that looks the best on a Crossfire?

That, sir, is a totally subjective choice. You just have to start looking at all of the options available and narrow it down. Remember-when you are looking at websites, they generally list them by car manufacturer or bolt pattern. Mercedes Benz and 5 X 112.

Happy hunting.

I sorta' like mine! Check my signature and gallery.
