I would get some diamond racing wheels but in like bronze or paint them bronze they wouldn't look half bad i would think, but mainly because of the varied sizes you can get and the price staggered rims for cheap anyone?

yea and you shouldnt they would look like uber Sh1t on an S14. an s14 will never be able to pull off the road warrior style. leave it to the 13s.

Those are just for ballers. I mean if I was running negative offsets with a fatty lip, I'd want my spare to have a big dish too so whenever I got a flat, I could still ball all the way to S&S Tire.

came off some a jeep actually. You can get these at any discount/ american tire. They are Unique wheels. They are basically the same as cragars.

You can get um in alot of different sizes too. Those are 15x7 +0 and they look pretty sweet with a lower stance and smaller tires.

they word it strange because they are all american good 'ol boys...

i don't know his setup exactly, though i believe front and back wheels are both the Avenger series... if the wheel is 8" wide and had +0 offset, wouldn't that make the backspacing 4"?

now for 16x10 +12

1mm = .03937

this is for a positive offset(wheel width)/2 + (offset*.03937)

backspace should be 5.47 - it looks like in that wheel size diamond's closest backspacing to that would be 5 1/2, so the offset would actually be closer to +13

this would be for neg offset(wheel width)/2 - (offset*.03937)

somebody correct me if i'm wrong, pretty please

if the tire bulges past the fender and a fender pull wont save you, thats too far.

but the fitment in this thread is well moderated and it looks good.

here are some more, im starting to really like the steelies. they're not too flashy
