After doing the 5 lug, now I need rims. I was thinking about a few.

After searching, I found out the RX7 FD rims are 16x8, and then after more researching, I found that they are a gay +50 offset. What the fuck man, that's ghey! :wtf: So.. should I even bother using spacers to run these? Or am I missing something? Will they fit, and even look good on my car? Pretty sure they'll be SUPER sunk, and not even clear coilovers.

Doing some more searching, actually, I didn't find anything.
But what about running the Z32 rims? My friend is thinking about selling me his set for $50 each without tires, the 16x8 ones. How do these look on an s13, i remember seeing pictures of cars with it, but can't find them now. Also, will they clear coilovers, and haha, will they clear my s15 brakes (pretty sure they do :P).

Also, what lug pattern are the new BMWs?? My friend has some nice 17s that he thinks I could use.

Also, does anyone know what size/offset the 1992 nsx rims have? My friend has an extra set of those. I've been tyring to look for a picture, but I can't find shit, no one has stock rims!

Any other suggestions?

Just get the Z wheels. Dont bother with FD wheels. They look like Z wheels on an S13. If your concerned with looks go buy some nice wheels. Yes the Z wheels will clear everything.

There are no 16x8 z32 wheels. Most of them are 7.5 in. but if you get a set off a turbo, the rears are 8.5, and they fit fine. But they might need some spacers in the front. But if you get some off a turbo, you actually have 4 different wheels, cause they are directional and have different widths. So make sure so make sure they are all the correct wheels, left and right.

Oh boo hoo. He for got to put .5 on for you. I never new wheels were directional. I thought that only applied to tires. The rear will clear no prob. I dont know about the front never tried it.

The spokes of the Z wheels point different directions side to side.

Z32's will not clear your coilovers. I run 30mm spacers on my Z32's to clear and flush them out half decently.
