Default Another wheel fittment question

Im thinking about buying these for my SC. I THINK the fitment would be alright. Does anyone know? The guy wants $635 shipped.

They are: Impul RS 17x8+31, 17x9+35

nice rims but i think the center cap looks too out dated.. one big nut? lol If they showed lugnuts and not have a cover showing them (to me all 5 spoke dish rims gotta show lugnuts), they would be golden. Do u know the bolt pattern or what they were originally for?

Dont know what they were originally for. But the lug pattern is 5x114.3.

Im asking about the fitment, as far as the offset.

those look nice. only thing i dont like is that they're ony 17s. if u plan on adding like a lip kit or something they'll make those wheels look way way smaller than they are.

I went through that HUGE thread, (no smartass intended)but I was unable to find anyone running a 17x9 +35 in the rear. Maybe I overlooked.

I figured someone would know off hand if they would clear the fenders. I think they will.

I was moreso, looking for comments on the style and manufactuer of the wheels.

The thread gave minimum and maximum offsets. is this one not inbetween the two figures? I haven't looked at it in a long time.

They will fit and you will not have any issues with rubbing as long as you dont run a super meaty tire ( eg- dont run a 285 on the 9...)

Thanks,I figured they would fit.

I didnt notice the min and max offsets. Ill half to reread that.

What do you guys think of impul rims? These came from Japan, used. I know theyre an older style, but I like them.

I like them... they have a bit of "Work Equip" in them if you ask me... and equips look great on SC's- dont worry about the centers- only new folks to the scene will work about those- if they weren't still a legit style then junction produce would stray away from them on their scaras
