Just came across some money and did the Attain front hubs from PDM.Z32 with rear alum. upright.Will be running KTS coilovers form SPL (only heard great things)and am now LOW on cash.

So now my question is will this work...First are 17's and then 16'shttps://www.edgeracing.com/wheel/2001/https://w ... heel/2554/

Realistically will only use for daily driver, and some parking lot fun.And would you use the 16 or 17s.

Oh ya the car is a 1989 240 coupe.. thanks so much guys

Also will they clear z32 brakes all round..

You need to have a caliper envelope on the wheel the same as the Z32 wheel or the S14 16" alloys.The wheels pictured are motegi tracklite knockoffs, or motegi knocked off their style, either way the motegi didn't clear z32 kit in 17" 5lug +35 offset.

So you did a 5 lug conversion, and now you are going to run wheels with incredibly poor sizing? You can easily find wheels exactly like that, in that sizing, in 4 lug. The whole point of 5 lug is to be able to fit some nice wheels with good offsets and widths.

In other words, don't buy those wheels. They will fit like crap, and probably won't clear your KTS if you run 225s.

An example of a good fitting wheel for s13 with coils is a 17x9+20. Your wheels will be 50mm farther in than that size. (VERY SUNK)

I agree with the crappy size, I was only gonig to use those for a while till i save up for some Works or Gram Lights. ( I hope)

After doing all the other stuff money is low so I chose those for the prize.Someone has a set of s14 SEs with 50% thread left for $350.00 .

Do you know of any good places to get decent rims for cheap.

Thanks

Dude offsets in the 40+ range are all going to fit bad.

17x8+45 won't just not fit, bad it WON'T fit.

Ok cool then so i need a LOWER offset.Dumb *** i was reading the offset wrong, so a lower number puts the inside of the rim where it bolts to the hub closer to rim center line, pushing the rim away from the coilover making it flush with the body..

Dumbass

so these are better17 x8 +28

Far from ideal, but much better. They will fit all around with 225s.
