You'd look like a drag racer with 2 different sets of wheels. I would suggest finding a pair to match or replacing the full set with something different & just selling whatever is salvageable from you OEM wheels. A full set of those C3s inst that bad in price & you could technically swap over your tires if youre running at least a 215 in the front - it would look hella flush style.

I agree with Kmac. Go with C3. You can run 225 on the front and 255 on the rear to stay staggered. No rubbing with stock suspensions as far as I have read. I am planning to buy C3 with 225 and 255 in the next few weeks.

You can run different wheels on EACH side of the car (I do this quite often at car shows) since given the fact you can only see one side of the car at any given moment.

However running different wheels front to back reminds me of Camaros and Mustangs at the drag races. Looks odd and would attract the wrong type of attention IMO.

I would just shop Ebay or CL to find the right set.

You can run different style wheels on each side, only if they are the same size. If not, your rear diff will work overtime, get hot, and probably prone to failure.

$60 for a used wheel, $100 to refinish the wheel to like new... Total cost $150-180... At least it will match.. Rather than look like someone who couldn't afford a full set, just my opinion, instead of getting a pair of wheels to complete a weird set, I would complete one set and get another.. Easier for your self, your wallet and eveyones eyes
A decent set of ap2v1 w/o tires would run $350-450 depending on condition.. With tires (depending on life) could bring you $500-700... You can also try trading yor stock wheels plus cash to a interested buyer... When I was searching for stock wheels, I took a deal for $50 plus ap2v1 for my black racing wheels...

well i was hoping to just pick something up and throw it on the car, but perhaps i should..

true on the price, but im broke lol

i dont think id ever attempt to stretch a 215 on a 9 inch rim though; if i went this direction id need to buy at least 2x255.


see above. people do that? why get a wider rim up front if youre not going to use it?

i dont think i can run 255 nonstaggered on one side and 215/245 on the other..lol

i wouldnt mind




good info, thanks! i actually looked into that site a while back and was uninterested because i thought the pricing was a little steep; maybe i should reconsider.



i guess my idea wasnt a very good one lol, ill start looking into refinishing places.

thanks again everyone!

Beware: that rim is not OEM.. It's aftermarket replica style... These are mainly used at body shops with insurance claims to cut down spending cost.. Just as DOT approved aftermarket body panels.. The price is cheap but be aware of the potential quality control it has.. There has been a thread regarding aftermarket fake ap2v1 wheels..

indeed. i wont be going aftermarket, they weigh more and i doubt anyone would want to buy a mixed set.
