I was thinking about re-drilling the bolt pattern. I don't want adapters cause then you can't run low offset. I want these on mine

I want nice 16 or 17's
I have sweet enkie mesh wheels in 13" but I would like to also have a set of modern 16 or 17" wheels that sit flush with a racing beat suspension kit. Any ideas what will fit? I am even considering Yamaha Rhino rims as I work at a motorcyle shop but I don't know about offsets. Help!!

If you want your car to sit flush you're going to have to bring the car down to the wheel a bit more. With the racing beat suspension even if you go with a larger wheel you will have a bit of wheel gap. Coilovers are the answer to that problem.
ATV wheels have been thrown around as an idea a couple times but you have to look at what those wheels are intended to support. 600-800 pound ATV's and you want to put them on a 2000+ pound car? Doesn't sound like a safe choice.

Check these out

Esm says they can drill these for 4x110 for me but I want to know if it will fit my stock suspension, and later on when I get the racing beat kit.

Ok it will depend a lot on your setup. Mine is a SE so I will tell you what it has on it. If yours is not an SE then extensive measuring will need to be done. The wheels are 16x8, 4x114.3 with a 20mm backspace wrapped in BFG KDW 215/45-16 up front and 225/45-16 out back, I used one inch progressive drop springs from Rotary Performance, and matched them up with their Tokico blues. No rubbing or modifications to the body for clearance. I did have the front wheels lathed down a bit ,within safety specs, to get them tucked into fender flush like I wanted.

Thanks for responding I really appreciate it. I found wheel adapters to go from 4x110 to 4x100. The adapters are 1 inch thick. With 40mm offset wheels I think I am going to be able to fit 16x8 with 215/45-16 tires. I have some measuring to do to figure out the offset of the enkie wheels on it now. I I am curious why more people havent done this. What critical thing am I not considering?
The downside of the bolt on adapters is that you cannot use them on most tracks, as they are deemed to be too weak to be safe (especially up front).

I received my spacers so Today I'm going to test out some wheels and see what fits. From what ive measured things should fit well. I'll let you guys know what I found out thanks for the help.
If you use a 1 inch spacer on a +40 wheel it will leave you with only a 14.6 offset (40 - 25.4) this is going to push the wheel outward a little more than the stock wheel, but could be workable on a GSL. (GSL-SE uses a high offset wheel and they would probably be too far out) Flares might be necessary, depending on how wide of a tire/wheel combination you will be using.

I've got my SSR formula mesh wheels testfitted on my car I'm now looking for the right tyres I'm thinking of 195/50 in front and 205/50 in the rear because the rim sizes are 6j et 16 on front and 6.5 et 19 on the rear
In the picture they are 195/50 allround and I think the rears are to small also the 205/50 Wil be closer to the stock size tyre

If you are a waffle lover, you'll love this. I just picked up a parts car that came with this extra five wheels, sad part is the guy painted four black. I was told they are limited edition.
