I know again...

I searched and could not find anything with this offset and size. I really like these wheels.

They are 16x7/8 +27 all around. I heard it will need 20mm+ spacer? Is that even safe or good?

They are panasport rims by the way.

Reminds me of the good old days

16x7/8 +38 all around

30mm spacer front / 25mm spacer rear

205/55/16 F 225/50/16 R

effective 16x7+8 F / 16x8+13 R

Your 20mm spacer should be fine, just get a good quality bolt on and call it a day. As long as you know how to use a torque wrench you are cool.

Oh, and needs fender roll, but nothing major, looks good in that old school chubby tire way.

you dont really need spacers, unless your DEAD picky about the "uncool" quarter inch sunken in look...I mean priority is to get the wheels on right? That offset is fine so you don't have to roll your fenders. Honestly, they would fit just flush with zero camber. If you don't like em, sell em to me! hehe

I think dont need spacer at all. People run the low crazy offset yet has to run neg camber. I agree with ricerocket up there.. run 0 offset and it should look fine.

I wouldnt be surprise if people start flaming about the offset and also the width of the wheels also the 16in.

sorry forgot to mention, it is a s13 fastback...

So should I purchase these wheels?

Well, you said you really like the wheels. It is your call bro. The good thing about higher offsets are that you can add & subtract offset with spacers to your liking. And yes, wheel spacers are durable. I use to run 16x7 16x8 +25 all around. They sat right at the fender on s13 with zero camber and ugly gigantic 205/225/50/16's. Just to let you know if you do buy them and your lowered on coils...your probably going to need a fender roll in the back. I guess thats where negative camber comes into play...

15x7.5 +0 sits just right on a low fastback. Just add the width and add offset if you want to go wider. Don't go 17x7.5 +0 (If that exist..ugly, hehe)
