Should these wheels fit my S13?http://wheelstudio.com/catalog...6385d

My brother in law is selling them to me for $500.00 w/ falken tires, so I thought it was a good deal but im not sure if they fit my car with no problems?

Are they good wheels?

thanks

it really depends on what you consider a good deal.

find out the specs on tire size and offset of the wheels, then chime back in and I'll tell you if its worth getting or not. Even if the offset is gross, tire size may not even be useful on your 240.

btw, I've never heard of Kyowa

4 x 114.3 will fit any 240 with a 4 lug, but if they have anything more then 40 offset then you run the risk of rubbing against your shock struts.

IMOP they look like crap, and i think my local autozone even carries them. But for 500$ for NEW falken tires & NEW rims thats a steal.

I thought about it and I think im gonna get some other wheels, i'd rather spend a little more $$$ and get some wheels that I really like..

I've been wondering, is it really hard to make a 5 lug wheel into an s13?What parts would I have to buy?? I imagine it is possible..

Most of the wheels that I like are 5 lugs...

Please let me know, thanks

The short answer is yes. It's fairly easy but do a search for 5 lug swap and read a bunch. Then determine if you think it will be easy for you to do and whether or not the cost justifies doing it. Honestly, I'm in the opposite camp. My 240 is 5 lug and most of the wheels I like on 240's are 4 lug.

I just did a search, I have an idea on the cost now, Thanks.Really? I've been looking for some deep dish wheels, or something like these and can't find anything...

Can you show me some nice 4 lug wheels that fit the s13?

Most of the wheels I like aren't in production anymore and don't look modern but hold on a bit and I'll see what I can find.

Off the top of my head RS Watanabe. But those come in 5 lug too.

Only RS watnabes I can find are 16", looks like they're hard to find?Plus they're friggen expensive!

I think I still wanna do the 5 lug conversion.jeje

I would cost me around $1,500 for 5 lug conversion, wheels I want, and tires.
