cx-7 with cx-9 wheels

[otnielarencibia]

Thanks again!

You just changed the rims and kept the stock CX-7 tires?

 

[sunlokyee]

no, the wheel size are different, so you need new tires. I think otnielarencibia's wheels came with stock cx-9 245/50/20 tires. I got a set of pirelli's, also 245/50/20.

How big are the CX-9 rims?

 

[sunlokyee]

the wheels you see on this thread are the 20" wheels from cx-9 gt, they are 20 x 7.5.

figure i'll upload some pics of my 7 with 9 wheels:

Now with a small drop it would look badass, looks good now.

yup just 1" would do the trick. (cool) perhaps springs (huh)

I like it! Do the CX-9 wheels have the same backspacing/offset as the CX-7 wheels?

i've been looking to do this "upgrade" as well, but havent been able to found the whole set thats OEM, i can get some knock-offs from ebay but i'd rather not do that, anyone who knows of a set fo cx9 20" wheels for sale, please let me know...
Also, how's the handling and the turning ratio>?
