so that should give you a good understanding of what offsets/widths you should be looking at.

ok so what style wheel are you looking for?
well those wheels that I have the link to I can get for cheap but as you guys have told me that they are fwd and i can't get a different offset. would it look really stupid if I put spacers in behind to bring the rim out???

You'd need to run some pretty big spacers. Some people don't like running spacers, but you could pull it off. Personally I'd just get something with better sizes, ever look into the 5Zigen FN01RC, they are pretty cheap and come in good sizes.

it would look fine with spacers, but i would do as S13 240 said, and just look into some diffrent wheels with better sizes. the 5 zigens are nice. plus if you just got spacers it would just make it appear to have a good offset, there for you wouldnt get any kind of lip or jdm concave, but that might not matter to you, i no it does to me alot.

wow the only size that fits 240s is 17x7 +42 and thats garbage.

why buy cheap wheels and then spend a fortune on spacers to make them fit right?

You would need at least 25 or 30 mm spacer that inclued longer wheel studs so add $250 on to the price of those wheels.

Your better of getting some rotas that while being cheap are probably beter made then those rims and are at least made to fit your car.
