Hello All,

I'm sorry to ask like this, but does anyone know where I can source some 15 or 16 x 8" wheels with < 40mm offset on a 4x114.3 bolt pattern?

I realize it's a crappy, general question, but I really have searched all over the net! I've even checked out websites that are advertised in various sport compact magazines but nobody seems to have what I'm looking for. I can find plenty of wheels that are 7" wide, but I'm looking for that extra width without going 17" or five lug conversion!!

Thanks in advance, I really appreciate any help!

For 8.5" inch wheels?............

I'd say at least 30mm or less, but I don't really know for sure. I've seen a couple of set-ups with similar widths using 22mm offset and they looked very nice.

Also, check this out:

As you will see in the article, they are using 17x9" in the rear with a 38mm offset but I it doesn't say what they use up front.

Crzycav86,

I checked out the group buy section at zilvia.net and didn't see anything related to wheels. Just Moog tie rod components and Target exhaust...............

Where else should I be looking?

Thank you very much!!!

I really appreciate you taking the time to find that link for me, those wheels are exactly what I'm looking for (the gunmetal is just an added bonus in my opinion)!

It's going to be hard for me to justify the purchase because with shipping it comes out to about $830......and that's just for wheels! I still need to spend at least $400 for tires!! My concern now is that, while I can afford it, I won't be able to get the suspension items that I wanted.......namely some front camber plates and a set of adjustable rear upper arms. With my RS-R springs and KYB shocks, I fear that I'll just destroy those new tires without any sort of camber correction..........

Any chance someone is selling money tree seeds?

hmmm.. money tree seeds... they sound expensive...

I know..... I'LL START A GROUP BUY FOR THEM! :D

But seriously, I think you should be fine with the camber issue as long as you get an alignment.
