Hey, looking at some great wheels, theyre 15x8.5 with around a -6 offset (measured in backspace so thats what i converted it to)

bolt pattern is 4 X 4 1/4, thats 4x114 right?

Just wondering if these would fit on an s13 in the rear?

*crosses fingers* ^_^;

from what the wheel size calculator says: compared to a lot of x10 +25 sizes i've seen fit on the rear of a s13 it'll stick out 12 more mm. so check out some pictures of guys with x10 +25 and see how you want to do it.

you can make it fit by pulling your fenders probably with neg camber.

this is why. those are 15x7 +0. the wheels posted will stick out an inch more

oh yeah, and the bolt pattern is wrong as stated earlier.

technically it wouldn't stick out an inch more. it's half inch towards shock clearance and half inch sticking outwards. 12mm~ like i said earlier.

-1 deg camber can flush in approx 5mm. so with 12mm more you'd have to do about 2.5deg neg camber in addition to what that x7+0 guy is doing. assuming you're balls out and don't mind eating tires and wanna look cool lol... pulling fenders can go over 20mm depending how much u wanna pull.

but that only matters if its really 4x114...

but yeah thats correct they will fit even if you don't touch any camber/fender mods... it'll just look low rider vato.

the wheels originally posted are 8.5" wide so it would be 3/4" from width, and 6mm from the lower offset, about 1/4", totaling around 1". but yes, x8 +0 would only give you 1/2".

short of some serious effort, they don't fit. (again, ignoring the bolt pattern issue)
