Cant wait for the pics!!! Im running 17x7.5 +42 with 25mm spacers all around which brings it down to +17 and I still have plenty of room so a 0 offset should fit with minor modification..........

Damn!!! Why didn't you just buy wider wheels with a lower offset that way you don't have to use such a huge spacer?

lol +1
I personally Love the look of the car up to the point of the wheels :p. You should get some works, or volks and you'll kill it. But damn ae86 with an sr20 in it? haha sick

If your going to stick with it, You should at least roll your fenders, and dont use such cheap, ugly wheels. Just my opinion though. To each his own

Doesn't it cause extra stress on the wheel studs ?

I agree, although that wheel wouldn't look that bad it maybe it were at different color, like gutted-dx said it's kinda McDonald'sy looking.

you know not really...1st off based on numbers i was told by shops and sportmax wheels (now xxr wheels) that it will not fit...

but i gave it a shot...and they fit great...little rubbing in the rear, but once i adjusted the height no rubbing and im very happy with them...

you must see in person to really appreciate...

and as far as work/volk rims, not really into them...but still saving to get some advan rg's

Why is everyone getting these cheap as wheels these days? You know you can just pull out the fake little plastic "bolts" that are there supposedly holding your 3 piece wheel together?

Anyways what size tire are you running on there? Looks like a 195.

Seriously. I cannot understand this? Someone please explain why you would want to do this.

I am going to take my wheels off and put them on backwards. WTF!
