do you guys think these wheels would look nice?

[i already saw the fitting, its 16x7 40 offset. 4x114.3 bolt pattern]

they are 5zigens rsx-6 rims[discontinued but they are brand new]



these are the same wheels, just in different bolt pattern, but just to let you guys see a different angle.

tell me what you think!

my car is dark green[btw if you can tsee the in pics]

and the wheels are silver.

If you dont mind being super sunken then go for it.

[miracleboi123]

wadda you mean by super sunken?

[red240sx90]

they wont be flush and sexy, the fenders will go way over the wheels and look like crap

[white90esex]

Once again theres no excuse for any car (even fwd) to run +40 offset.

If you are getting wheels to look good then you dont want anything higher than +20.

If you're just getting um cause you want to get rid of steelies, then dont. Get SE's or something cheap.

[miracleboi123]

i thought 40offset will be flushed for the s13? i thought the right size offset is 40?

and right now the steelies run 6.5 width. ?

if these are 16x7's i dont think the fenders would run over the wheels... like someone said rite?

[red240sx90]

they will look horrible. look up the wheel thread and you will see proper offsets

[white90esex]

lmao...

Sorry man. We all gotta start somewere.

I have some 17x9 +17s and they sit flush but they are 5 lug.

Since you are looking for some 4 lug wheels id recomend just snatchin up a set of 5Zigen FN01rcs, some used old school wheels like some meshies (you can usually find them in reasonable sizes).

On my DD I have some 15x8 +0 and also run some 15x7 +10. Those all sit great with stock fenders and a reasonable amount of camber.

[miracleboi123]

its alright thanks though, so just get any offset within under 20 and it will look and be flush to fenders?

[ashibah83]

5Zigen FN01RC 17x9 +20

Rota D2's 17x8.5 +20

Elite 17x9 +17(i think thats what they are)

Falken Hanabi 17x9 +20

all good looking and relatively inexpensive

I would say, save your money and get something better and nice'r.Go with 17' or 18's if your planing on lowering the car.Even stock GTR34 wheels would look hot on your car, their 18's Volk Ray's IT, their in the more expensive range as wheels like Work VS etc.

But R32, Z32 wheels would look nice and would be still decent price.

But that's just my 2cents

I have 16x8 + 9 on my car, and i'm still a little sunken in the back. 195 series tire btw, I can fit a wider tire to make it look more flush.

I'd rather get a wide low offset wheel and have to stretch a tire to make it fit than buy a high offset wheel then add spacers to it.

[rob912]

If you run that your going to need about a 1.5-2 inch spacer to make it look flush and super big spacers are not cool. I have 18x7.5 adr with a 25 mm spacer and i hate that i just didnt save and get a nicer wheel, but my wheels still look pretty nice imo look at sportmax!

you do know some cars run stupid high offsets right?

[ashibah83]
