For a standard 1.6 or 1.8 they are plenty wide enough and the recommended offset for an NA is 45mm so that is not really that bad either.

Apart from that if you put too much wheel and tyre on a 5 you increase the unsprung weight which can upset the handling and the ride. You really need the lightest wheel/tyre combo you can get.

I think a 14X6 ET20 would be perfect, I would like a set of those or 6.5 ET14.5.

Those wheels are fine but if your going to buy different wheels why buy in the same size or in this case ones that narrow the track by 2mm?

Yahoo Auction Service Fees
So after some planning i have decided on some set service fees to give everyone a ball park idea on how much things will cost if you use me as a middle man for Yahoo Auctions Japan
please remember that this is just a ball park figure and nothing is set in stone

Service Fee:
Small Items: oil caps, shift knobs, etc
service fee: $10

Medium items: intakes, steering wheels, etc
service fee: $25-30

Large items: rims, exhausts etc.
service fee: $65-95

Other fees:
shipping from seller to my location varies between $10(small items: shift knobs etc) to $65 (rims)
paypal fees: varies

Shipping fees:
Small items can be shipped air mail or EMS (usually double the price of airmail but comes with tracking number and insurance)

Medium to Large items will ALL be shipped ems

you can view EMS rates here:
http://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/cha...ms_all_en.html

General examples:
Steering wheel average shipping: Y3500
Cat back exhaust: Y12000-17000
Rims:
13 inch:Y35000-40000
14 inch:Y40000-47500
15 inch:Y45000-50000

Currency Conversion:
(this is the BANK currency conversion which is always crappier than the actual conversion)
as of right now it is around Y100 =$0.80

How to calculate everything:
Example:
Steering wheel price Y5000
Shipping to my location Y1800
Shipping to you Y3500

Total in Yen: Y10300

Convert to USD: $123.60
Paypal fees: $5
Service fee: $25

Total Cost: $153.60

Payment:
i take payment in full BEFORE i bid for the item, if you win i take the money and refund you any amount that you overpaid (IE if an auction ended at $250 but you paid $300 i would refund you the $50). If you lose the auction i just refund and you get 100% (including fees) back.

There's no such thing as a "recommended" offset until you're getting to the point of extreme enough width and low enough offset to substantially increase wear to CV joints and the like.

+47 offset on a 6.5" wide wheel will be pretty much factory fitment in the guards, as far as outer position goes. Ugly as.

EDIT: Teehee

I still can't see the attraction... The only ones I like are the RPF1s or the 6ULs in bronze. Eye of the beholder right?

Those have been done 65797646896 times. As have Wats. Sure they're a good combo, but its never gonna blow minds like the wheels posted above would.

I think I prefer more traditional/subtle/practical view of improving performance (or comfort at times) I guess. 65797646896 people can't be wrong right

So if you do get the super wide wheels, does that make tyres expensive due to the unique width?

GV Style front lip $75 USD, after shipping to nz it works out to about 170, maybe he could be interested in a group buy? To save on shipping etc. another group buy yay lol.

Nope, most opt for cheaper sizes that dont fit properly (stretched), mainly because the angled sidewalls allow the suspension to be dropped to the point where the tyres touch the arches and there is no travel left. After that is complete you can stick stickers on the car and/or proclaim things like Hellaflush, poke, slammed, edaboc, flatpeak, etc.

Just kidding you guys
