I've asked them already, those have +6mm offset.
Would that even work for our cars?
date not saved · #3
i think it will with mod, 40 mm will work.
i have some wheels that are 15x 6.5, the 6.5in is too close to the shock on both back and front. i didnt care for the rear but the for the front i think it is too close for fast turning.
i dont think people can put 7in on their s12 without spacers.
correct me if i am wrong.

you are wrong..heh
with a 6+ offset you'd probably have the rim sticking out a bit. possibly flush with the fenders if it's like the S13
yes, you can have a 7" wheel w/o spacers. the offset needs to be below 30+ for that to happen though.

you will probably need longer front studs though.

Heh, my buddy at another shop right up the road just scored a set of 16" Watanabes for $150!!! They look kinda like that, but they're black in the center with a polished lip. I've seen a lot of the Aussie cars with em. IIRC, they sell for about $350 a piece brand new... :wall:

Hey, I just did a little bit of checking into these wheels, didn't actually find out anything on the offset, but they sell the 16" silver finish wheel for $221, and if you want the polished lip it's $15 extra per wheel.
Now, if you want a gunmetal or black finish, they have to special order them from Japan, but it's only about $30 extra. Only bad part is they said sometimes it takes a couple months, sometimes 6 months, just have to have a lot of patience... :laugh:
So they still end up cheaper than the Watanabe's anyway. But if someone keeps the gunmetal Watanabes in stock, it might be worth it to pay that extra money...
