Ok, can't post this in the for sale section since I'm just trying to get an idea first. Since i'm selling my GTO, I'm considering trading my Beyerns for some stock 18" wheels but I would need some cash for the trade. How much more are they worth than stock 18's? Here are the specs:

Beyern Type 5 wheels: 18x8.5" front, 40mm offset, with BFG G-force sport 245/40/18 tires; 18x9.5" rear, 45mm offset, with BFG G-force sport 275/35/18 tires. Front tires look excellent, rears, well... not much left at all.

You can see the wheels in my for sale post here:

Def sell the rims privately as anyone you sell the car to will not pay nearly anything for the rims. Just buy a set of stock rims and sell the Beyerns sometime later. GL with the future sale...lol

save yourself 6 or 700 and put on a set of used 17's if your selling it anyway.

Problem with putting on 17's is that whole strut rub issue. On the 18's (and my Beyern 18's) it's not a problem.

If anyone on here wants the Beyern's, PM me or email me at boostedgta@gmail.com. Buyer of the car will be giving me his deposit tomorrow and he's not getting the wheels.

Strut rub is a tire size issue, not a wheel size issue when using the OEM wheels on a properly aligned car. This is because 18" wheels were spec'd with a narrower tire. Both the 17" and 18" wheels have the same width and offset. Use a 235/45-17 tire and you'll have a tire with the same diameter/width as the one used by GM on the 18" wheels (235/40-18).
