I called diamond racing to check whats up with their weight and prices, and i found out they dont make 8.5,9,9.5 unless id like to pay some cash so they can cut the wheel to make it bigger.

The sizes i have to choose from are 16x8 or 16x10.

Im getting 16x10 in the back for sure, but would it work out in the front?

cars dropped on k sports, megan controls in the back.

thanks for help

it would look bad, unless you like the massive stretched tire look

i would not put 10'' wide in the front. check out http://www.irwheel.com/. last time i checked they had better prices than drw. i called the guy and he said they could do whatever offset i wanted. but i dont think they do a 16" tho

edit: they do not make a 16''

Maybe if it has a high offset or you get some overfenders or a massive pull in the front.

I called diamond racing to have them make me some wheels for my rears. The largest inner diameter wheel they have is a 13 inch ID on a 15 inch wheel. Which may not clear Z32 brakes. Just an FYI. I was trying to get some 15x10+31's for my S13 rears

would 16x8 in front and 16x 10 in back work better than 16x 10 on both
