They will fit on your car but im not sure if I recomend it. I made the mistake of buying 17" wheels with the +48 offset. They actually fit fine on my s14 but they have a pretty big wheel gap, and now that I'm doing the 300zx upgrade things have been getting messy with wheel spacers and everything needed do they will fit. I would look for a wheel with a lower offset, maybe wider too, and read the sticky about wheel offsets... haha I should have done that too

well your stock wheels are what 15x6.5 +40 now add another 1/2 inch which translates in to 1/4 inch each side now you have less clearance to the inside of the wheel well bad idea you want more space to make sure that nothing will rubon yoru suspension.

Theorestically they will fit but the will look horrible and make clearance issues occur.

Why are you people so WEAK with wheels sizing??

Well then wouldn't those fit because they have that same rim size, 15x6.5. Besides the bolt pattern. I realized it had the wrong one.

so basically you wanted the 15x6.5. First off, they don't come in the right bolt pattern. Second off, you know that big gap between your wheel and the edge of the fender?? THATS THE ENEMY!!! You wanna squish it!! and basically soldier, your not making any progress in accomplishing your mission. I would not advise you getting those, plus you'll probably get made fun of for buying cheap looking TE37's....

why spend the money to get same sized wheels?
i say atleast go wider.
rim size is not the only thing that matters for fitment.
width and offset determine how much the wheel will stick out or sink in past the fender.
