What do you guys think - Would these fit nicely (offset and width) on an S13 with a 5-lug conversion?

the 10" rear wheel's backspace is more than an inch and a quarter greater than the oem alloy. (The distance from the wheel's bolt pad, to the backside lip of the wheel) That means you'd need at least that much room and more, to fit that monster, and then a tire. With a machined and hub centric spacer, then they'd be sticking out of the fender, tijauna style..

It's just too big. :(

what color is the s13 in question?

Gotcha - skip that then.

S13 in question is black.

Like to find some 17's in gunmental or black with a polished lip, in a good offset, that aren't ridiculously expensive.

i dono, i personally think those wheels would look VERY aggressive on an S13...probably stick out some...nothing some mild over-fenders wont fix...plus, your car will look SCARY like that...in a good way
