Please don't. You want at least 8 inches wide. 17x9 is pretty good.



Yup!!! Pick a set from here and go from there.http://stores.ebay.com/jdmautohouse

not to mention the offsets is more likely to be super high (considering its 4x100mm as well).

Those wheels aren't meant for your car. Don't get them.

Thanks for the feedback. There isnt many packages for my car. It says 40s for offset right. Isnt that the same a stock?

yes, stock is around like + 40, but considering the fact that your spending money to "upgrade," why spend money if the offsets are going to be the same? You might as well spend that money to "upgrade" in offset too. Otherwise, theres really no reason to ditch the stock wheels.

Just my .02

i agree y spend money and get just bigger then stock wheels pretty much go wider and better offset and you will be much happier.

buying a 7 inch rim with +40 offsets are gonna require 30-40mm spacers to fix..don't do it.

1991 S13 7 Spoke Alloy Wheels (SE Model ones)15x6 with a 40mm offset

Well, i have the alloy wheels from 1991. I thought they were only 6 inch rims?

If I got 17/8 inch rims, what type of tire would go with that?
