The wheels in the advertisement are like 15" x 14" wide with a 2" back space, it won't fit anything.

To give you an idea of the lip, my rear wheel there is a 15"x10" with 5" back space

If you want to have them made with a 45 degree taper for more lug nut surface contact but only for 12x1.5 wheel studs

I would also suggest going 15" for the tire selection.

Diamond Racing Pro series 15x8 3" back space(-40 offset) with Falken Azenis 615 205/50r15 up front
15x10 5" back space( -15 offset) with whatever cheap 225/50r15 i can find for the rear.

this set up really changes the track widths of the car, its handles awesome with only a crappy springs, GR2s and godspeed sways, I'm waiting on 10/8 springs before putting on the Megan tracks.

The 3" back space in the front is pushing it a little too much, i have about 1" extended quarter panel arm brackets in front of the front wheels for clearance and LOL some hammering at the back of the fender well, it still rubs from time to time due to shitty tension rods.

You can get away with a 5.5 rear back space but you might need coilovers to keep off your toe rods, this puts you at about 15x10 with +0 offset

and yes I plan on test fitting the 15x10 up front... :D

they were right at $400 shipped and took a day or so shy of two weeks to arrive.

thats what the pic looks like. i wanna put these on an s14 thats slammed to the ground but i dont understand backspacing and all the other giberish, what would the offset be because im looking to run 15x7 0 offset in front and like 15x7 or 15x8 0 offset in the rear i dont mind the tire sticking out the fender a little but if i have to ill go widebody but some more info from anyone will help!
 
goodluck fitting x10 up front, hope you have super widebody and super strength wheel studs to use those 4ft spacers u gonna need to clear the inner fender well and sway bars :D esp. if u have coilovers

haha, didn't think about that sway bar I'll keep an eye out for it too, the only other clearance issue with 15x10 up front will be the springs and the tie rods at full lock, the two wheels are exactly the same from the hub to the outside edge, the extra 2" is all on the inside.

if your looking for a 15x8 zero offset then order it with a 4" back space puts the mounting surface of the wheel 4" from the inside edge of the wheel with another 4" to go before the outside edge of the wheel.

Awesome, definitly post pics of the 16's when you get them on.
Have you called about pricing on a 9" wide wheel yet? i'm curious to know if there is an extra charge and how much.
 
i know diamond racing barely makes a 9" wide well they usually skip from 8 to 10 so look into that... i would love like a 14x8 to put a 195/45 :) and keep my car slammed lol.
 
will probly rock 15x8 in front and 15x10 in the rear but i want flushness to the fenderwell or a little sunken in, what back spacing would look nice? and please pics!!!

iso a 0 offset in a 15x8 would be -4inch backspace and for the 15x10 0 offset would be -5 backspacing? right?! oh and im def, rocking them gold!

well I WILL NOT run staggered set-up on S13 unless I have a million HP, and they stated that they can do custom sizes, but yea Im going to e-mail them and find out before I get my hopes up. Im really thinking about going 16x9.5 all around dont know yet...Yea i would like to see close-up shots of the wheels and more still photos of the car with the wheels just to get an idea, i like the fender flares i havent really been able to acctually look at them installed on an S13 if i buy those then 10 to 10.5 wide will be in order i just hope the hub bearings,knuckels, and steeering will hold up for awhile, ill have to look into it.

$400 shipped uh? thats a damn good price! Seems lke only the Avenger series come in anything bigger than a 15", I want 16x8F 3"(that would be -25mmoffset right?) and 16x10R 5"backspacing (0offset right?)...dam math! Having a factory 0 offset throws me off. Im not too familiar with backspacing but it seems to be easier to figure out than offset since its in inches and easier to measure since you just find the half of the wheels width and go from there instead having to measure the spokes from the center :bigthumbu

BTW are those ZG flares?

If anyone is not sure of these measurements

Back Space: lay the wheel on the floor face up and measure from the back of the face to the ground

Offset: is the measure of the distance the back of the face is moved (offset) from the center line of the wheel, measured in millimeters, 25.4mm = 1 inch
 
I saw you at OSW that day, crazy shiet when you lost your Oil Cap. Sorry bro...again sick wheels for dope ass price.
