949 Racing Wheels
Has anyone tried these on a FB? I have been trying to learn about offset and everything but it seems over my head haha. I was planning on getting adapters for them too.
15x7 6UL bronze
Thanks for the help!

Ive seen those wheels on some miatas.
15x7 is a good sized wheel on a fb.
That wheel has a offset of +36 so it would work on a fb. I'm not sure about any rubbing but you should be fine. You said you're going to run spacers? That will push the rim out a tad.
Attached is a 15x7 38 offset wheel on fb.

I considered these wheels a while ago, but it seems that most / many of the wheels are out of stock. The design, weight, and price looks good.
If you want to use wheels with a different bolt pattern, you have 3 options:
1. Re-drill your hubs
2. Re-drill the wheels
3. Use an adapter
As Glazedham42 already mentioned, option 3 will space out the wheels. Typically 20mm is about the min possible to allow for the lug nuts in the adapter.
I was considering #2, but the owner said it couldn't be done. He wouldn't send me a picture of the back of the wheel, so I'm not sure if that meant he wouldn't do it or if there's some mechanical reason.
But . . . all of this is moot if he can't get more wheels.

Thanks for the replies. I am looking at Enkei92's as well. I am planning on going with an adapter.
I guess the biggest question I have is what offset is a good target for a 7 inch wheel?
I think a 20-24mm adapter is easy to come by, and the Enkei92's come in a 38 offset. So with a 20mm spacer this would be equivalent to a offset of 18 correct?
