Default mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 wheels?

hey guys.
well i bought a set of 3000GT VR4 wheels.
i was wondering if they fit on our cars, as in the threading and the bolt depth.
they're the 17x8 1/2 wheels.
thanks in advance.

they will fit nice. 3000GT/Stealth have big calipers too so they have good brake clearance.

76 lbs.. found out today, cuz im in brakes now. DO NOT/Never use an impact gun to torque your wheels. found out my hubs are warped from torquing the wheels too much.. damn the previous owner! hehe oh well

Yea, those should fit without any problems. I have 18x8.5" wheels from a 3000GT VR4... those are 17x8.5" (looks like they came off a 94 VR4, or even a VR4 spyder).

Looks nice
