evo 5

hey guys i was thinking about getting these rims because there like like the only good 5 spoke rims i can find that come in 4x4.5. but what do u guys think, i want the 18's and they come in +45 offset so should that look good? and do u guys know of any better looking 5 or 6 spoke rims? and what kind of tires are good to get, like brand and size? oh and im getting either kyb gr-2's or agx's with tien s tech springs for suspension, cant make up my mind yet.

Offset's for FWD cars. They ma e decent offset 4 lug wheels (5Zigen and Volk) but you just found out why the 5 lug conversion is popular for 240sx's - 5 lug = more wheel choices, more wheel sizes, better RWD offset (anywhere from +30 to 0 to even -something if it's crazy looking)

consider the rota grids 16x8 +10/20 and the rota d2's (17") from autornd.com if you want 18s in good sizes you will have to dish out some big cash. fn01r-c a good wheel too (15" -18") 4 lug
remember your car is rwd, so dont puss out on fitiment.
