REEEMZ!!!

Probably not. 18x7.5 = weaksauce. They also look like they have fwd offsets. Buying a combo from sites like this are fine, but don't rely on them for wheel research. Find out what offsets wheels have and how they look on your car, then order from a place like this.

That they do. And if you forget how weak it is, it's stamped into the side of the wheel for everyone to see. "Hey man nice wheels! Wait...what's that? 18x7.5? Weakkkkkk"

Exactly how everyone will react, including your mother.

the 2nd set is just like the first set. Probably has horrible offset. The 3rd set...well they are sportmax, look like they have decent offset, but they are still only 7 inches wide. Also, you realize that all these wheels are 5 lug, and your 91 has 4 lug. Here. zeroforum/140

Sportmax makes that wheel in 9.5 and impretty sure sportmax only makes those specific wheels. in half sizes..

could be wrong.. idk.

i guess what were trying to say isbuy wheels that are wider than 7.5 incheshell evn an 8inch wide wheel would look good on a s13.and offset is key.maybe you should look into buying a used set of nicer wheels.

well xxr is good when youre choices are cinder blocks and wheels, dont get me wrong Im not hating on them (really) cuz I may get a set for my future miata, but they are, at best, decent when your choices are limited by budget and such.

you realize that the green car posted above with the sportmaxes has fat *** spacers to make them flush. why not get 17x9 all around? there's no reason to get 17x7 up front.

ill do you a huge favor

17x9 30mm spacers all around

17x9 with 1 inch spacer all around

18x9.5 50mm spacer rear. 30mm spacer front.

that's OD. i rather just get some nice wheels that don't require spacers. but they do look a lot nicer than putting on 962s with no spacers.

i agree. i will never buy wheels with a +35 offset and have to run huge spacers. just giving the OP some reference to how these can look.
