Need advice on these wheels/tires.. thanx

[240ight]

I need some advice on these. I use the car as a daily driver so I don't need anything performance but if they look nice is a plus. They are 16 x 7 offset 42 with 205/45/16 tires. Will they fit the S13? I currently have 18s on but too expensive to replace tires. Especially when used as a daily driver. What do you guys think? He is asking $420 with about 45% thread left.

Is fitment the issue? or is it the price?

[gumby74]

Fitment is awful and the tires are on the small side.

fitment is horrible. Try looking for wheels with a lower offset, something preferably in the +20 or less... check the wheel/tire database stickied up top for ideas on wheel fitment

unless those are super light wheels with excellent brake fitment, and the tires are SWEET, skip 'em. offer like half that amount, b/c the tires probably are crap, like most people's tires who drive on the street. i just got rid of some 16x7's locally for $200 with decent tires, matching too.

Thanks for the advice. I am just having a hard time finding anything decent locally for a good price. I might just end up buying tires for my 18s. They are in good shape but tires for those are expensive, that is why i was trying to find something a bit smaller and more common. Thanks again.

have you tried craig's list? also ebay, of course NICO, freshalloy, zilvia, etc. lots of outdated style wheels or hubcap wheels go for chump change w/ tires. maybe try trading w/ somebody? usually if you look hard enough you'll find some cheapo wheels, as long as you're not picky. why not 15's for daily driving? if you're not obsessed with sidewall stiffness, i don't see why you should limit yourself, as long as your brakes clear.

also maybe try honda forums, like honda-tech is a big one. look for '92-'96 prelude, '90-'96 accord for 4-lug. any honda 5-lug is the right pattern, but you have to machine the hub opening a couple millimeters larger to fit the Nissan hubs. ask me how i know . . .
