Deleted - clearly, I OOPSed into this section. Relocating to wheels & such, somewhere.

greetings....totally wrong section to be posting this in :)
showroom perhaps?
Yes, you would need adapters to install those ugly 850 wheels onto your 245 (see showroom area, current thread with pics) adapters usually run in the $300 range....
virgos are for sale all the time in the classifieds section...try a WTB ad as well.....
nothing wrong with 17" rims, just don't install totally silly low profile tires, my 245/40/17's on my 242 offer a nice ride..

I'll look for the correct area. As stated, green as grass and "suspension" looked like the area.
So the 850 wheels are not 5 x 108 pattern, or are they just wrong offset? A bit leery of spacers based on some of the posts here.
Re. the 17's, yes I run NT555 Nitto's on my pro touring 1970 Malibu with 245/45 F and 275/40 R and indeed they ride fine....it's the Bilsteins that make it stiff!
Redirecting, to "showroom" wherever that is! Thanks for the 411.

it'll get moved, i'd say:
unless you have access to cheap/free spacers find a rwd 15/16 to fit your needs: virgos, sirrus(novas), hydras, geminis, etc
plenty out there, kind of a pain to search for but it's out there
