offsets pretty weaksauce for a 240, but it couldnt look too bad.

still 16x7, meh. get spacers for all four corners and it'd look aiight, id say.

To me, there is a certain ballerness about the kouki. I think you should get some stock SE wheels until you can afford to do it big. Why not search the classifieds of ebay for stock wheels from like a 350z, G35 coupe or sedan? 16x7 is puny. These wheels would look better on a Honda IMO...

I don't think I've ever seen a kouki with 4lug... could be wrong though.

And yeah, 16x7? Get some spacers on a set of stock SE wheels instead.

For looks, I think the Kouki looks best with a 17x8-9 rim with proper offsets. Much bigger it looks like a 4x4 with rubber bands for tires, smaller, and you are doing no better than stock really.

For function, it all depends on the desired function.

EDIT: Those particular wheels look like dog turds though

Yes, any s14 base was 4 lug.

As for those wheels you would just be wasting 500 bucks.

You are better off saving and buyin something bigger and better. Plus a 5 lug swap is EASY to come buy for s14s. Everythig just bolts right up and its fast to do.

Man up, get 5 lug, dont get poorly sized wheels.

you can just buy my S14 shell i got. Its 5 lug and its got tons of other parts on it.

Its barely any more exspensive than a 5 lug swap.

yeah... you are definetly confused sir.

The 5 lug from a zenki will swap right onto a kouki. Now going from 4 to 5 lug on an S13 is a different story. You need the lower control arm cause the ball joint. Then you need some shims for the lower strut mounts on the spindal. Or you can just drill your strut to fit a larger bolt.

Thats an easy swap and the S14 is easier.

Find a nice set of wheels drilled for both 4 & 5 x 114.3. Even if they require a small spacer to make them less sunken, you've got more options and don't have to wait until you've got the funds for everything.

I sapose you could just swap the hubs... that would make it easier. Thats how I did the rear. Its 4 bolts holding it on and on the front I just swapped the spindal cause its easier to just pop that off then it is to undo the big nut in the center of the hub.

Reguardless of how it can be done its easy and it gives alot more options for wheels.

As for that mag, I think everyones seen it. That guys car was in some pictures that someone posted of some meet on the west coast. That coupe and the S13.5 are both sexy, I prefer the hatch though.
