I'm positive I could pick up a pair of the 16x7/16x8's, possibly even the 16x8/16x9's. i'm just wondering if these wheels would fit on an s14 without overfenders. Rolling my fenders isn't a problem, but cutting is. I would LOVE to have a set of these wheels for autox'ing. Pollish that lip and black out the spokes=HOT.

Thanks all.

yes, theyll fit without overfenders but they would be ugly. but for a spare set, they would be ok

UGLY? Starion rims are hardcore man! You sure about the fender clearance issues? Anyone else? Danke Schoen!

if you can get them local ,just take your car and test fit them. i'm thinking they will fit fine and would definitly be a good score.

The 16x7s for the front will fit, the 16x8s that came in the later modles for the front will fit fine, but when you try to run the 16x8s that came in the back and the 16x9s that came in the back, you need to run some big fender flairs or over fenders, cuz 16x9 0 offset doesnt fit easy

Bah, just run like 3 degrees of negative camber and they'll fit with some fender rolling, hehe.

My tein HE's should be here in another 2 weeks...do they have the capabilities to run -3degrees of camber?

Also, could someone just post the offset of these wheels? Thanks.

Yeah, i'll be careful...i think i'll be ok with a 50 series sidewall.

he's come with camber plates yo. you can dial in -3 in the front with camber plates to the best of my knowledge. if you can't, i know people who have dremmeled a little more space on the plate to move it further in (ghetto, but an option). and ruca's should give you -3 in the back if you want any day.

zemus is correct.. i have a set of the "regular" 16x7 and 16x8 starions... and the front fits fine.. but the 16x8 that came in the rear of the starions have a -10 offset... it sticks out of the rear wheels close to an inch... hey Zemus, what is the offset of the 16x8 that came in the front?

We're all talking about s14's here...right???

no way its an s14. i've fit 16x8 -6's with 205/50/16s and i had room for about 10mm spacer and fender rollage. (s14a)

edit: hmmm, the more i think about it i probably just answered your question about the fitment. errr, pic attached is of the above said situation to give you fitment idea, fronts are sunnnnnnk 16x7 +12.

Maybe +15 ish, IIRC. not intierly sure, also make sure to run some 50 series with these. Rear you would need flairs or extemly pulled fenders for the Rear 16x9s I say just rock 16x8s that came in the front of the starion all around, and if your a lil crazy run the 16x8s that came in the front in the front, and Run the 16x8s that came in the back... well in the back.. heh. So 16x8s all around.

there's a special at a good junkyard around here tommorrow. $25 to get whatever you can walk out with in your hand. $50 for two trips for two sets of junkyard wheels, hope i can score some starions.
