4 x 110....
Does 2 mm really make that much of a difference???

4 x 108 is close enough for government work, but what about for the rest of us???

i DONT advise doing that.
first off, guys have ran 4x108 wheels on these cars and due to the stress if the 2mm it causes lug bolts/studs to be sheared off. VERY dangerous. i see this only getting MUCH more easier to happen if you use a spacer.
second, i have 4-5 spacers on my SE axles for a little bit. they were INSANELY thick. somewhere around 3" or more. the seller said they had to be that thick due to going from 4-5 lug. i got rid of those as soon as i could.
if you want 5 lug, save up and do it right, through www.re-speed.com

Save your money and buy the correct ones. 2 mm can make a big difference when it comes to wheel pcd's. I had a link saved in my favorites but can't seem to find it atm.
If you're looking into converting your 1st gen to the 2nd gen bolt pattern, consider ReSpeed's big brake swap. That will help stop that TII swap you're wanting to install. That's the route I'm going, long before the wb even sees the extra hp.

Well, right now I have some nice 15 x 7 Enkeis, but was thinking of going 16 x 7/16 x 8 or 9 later. If I do that, then I'll just convert, I suppose.

FYI--- i have 16x7 and 16x8 on my car.
the rears would fit fine if it werent for the offset. the fronts on the other hand....
the front is close to the spring perch and the fender at the same time. i rolled my fenders, but not drasticly. im running 205/40 on the front. i havent driven it much, will it rub? i dont know. a way to ease this is to run coil overs, which i plan to do soon. it makes the spring perch smaller. id suggest running 15's up front though. that way you can get a wider tire. for the rears, i think you could fit a 9 in there with the correct offset.
