alright i have a set of 17x8.5'' racing hart 3pc c2s in my garage. they've been sitting there only 2 w/tires. 225/45 kumho 712s.i was wondering if i could fit those on the rear and what size tires would fit up front? i dont want to get rid of these rims, so maybe spacers? or something can help. thanks. i know 8.5 is HUGE...so help me out guys please?

sorry I didn't make myself clear enough, It was on my S14 without coilover. S13 I have coilover and Z32 caliper which I need 25mm spacer to have it clear..

BRENT, where did you get those, and for how much? also, they must be 4 lug right, i dont think RH makes a 5.

i had these for about two years. they were on my 95 accord. each rim was like originally 475 each, but i got 5 of them for $900 used w/tires. Ther rim is 4x114.3/5x114.3 its a 9 hole bolt pattern. anyways the rims have pretty much just been sitting for along time, and i really want to use them. these rims are not light weight, thats the only thing.
