i know this isnt more of everyones style but im looking to buy wire wheels for my versa.. but i dont want them to stick out past my fender.. im looking into getting standard or even fwd wire wheels 16-18" wheels.. but im wanting them to sit flush with my fenders or even sit at the same length as my stock wheels do.. im also looking to into bagging so i dont really think im going with 18s but more like 16s.. i read on a honda forum that in order to do this i would need a 7-7.5 width wheel and an offset of +42.. is this about right for the versa? anyone have wire wheels that dont sit out past the fenders?
thanks
joe


(fyi, this may not be a forever thing, i just would like something different and love lowriders.. i will be building it like every other versa just wires instead of deep dish or flush facing wheels.. and most likely the spokes will match the color of the car.)

your best bet would probably be to get a wheel with very positive offset and not too wide like you said, and then buy small spacers to push them out until they look good.
