pic request: Forgeline GW3 wheels on a G Series car

Does anyone have a picture of a SC/Carrera with Forgeline GW3 or GW3R wheels?

TIA

Wow. Thats perfect. Thanks!

17" vs 18" was my next question. Are there still good tires out there for the 17" wheels? Or, do the 18" wheels just give you more room for even bigger rotors?

good choices in either size, depend more on what tire you want to use
for instance Hoosier has 245/40 & 275/35 x17 at 24.7" OD or 245/35 & 280/30 x18 at 24.9" OD

Similar choices are found in other lines

How much work to stuff the 245s under there?

With my Carrera flares and as much camber I can get (with offset plates) my LF 225 will just barely graze my lip. RF no issue. I can roll but I can't pull.

It's tight for sure, you will likely want to trim the lips and the shock dust covers, that's the biggest tire I've seen on the front of an SC/Carrera chassis. It won't work w/ different o/s wheels either. Same in back.

In front 225/45 on 8x17 ET25-30 will fit fairly comfortably, the lower the ET the more lip work needed, as the tire gets wider the ET needs to get lower down to a min of 30-31.

In back 255/40 on 9x17 Et15 fits very comfortably, as the tire and wheel gets wider the ET needs to go down to 19-20 max(9.5" wheel) widths 275-285 will need to have the lips massaged and the oil line relocated and the trailing arm bolts trimmed.
