"i have a set ROH SNYPERS 15x7 4x110mm lugs, hardware brand new in the box as the gentelman said earlier very rare, $850.00."
You could by a pretty good running 7 for $850.00. My stock wheels are looking better all the time!

ok, it was asked earlier in this thread, but i never saw an answer..
What is the proper backspacing?
i'm considering a set of motegi FF7 rims, but i'm not sure what the backspacing should be.
FF7:
Rim Diameter (in): 16 in.
Rim Width (in): 7.00 in.
Backspacing (in): 5.625 in.
Offset (mm): +42.00mm

The 4x110 wheels need somewhere in the +10 - +20mm offset for a 7" width. Any less offset, and fender clearance becomes a problem. Any higher offset, and spring/strut clearance is the issue.
My Ronal 15x7 wheels are a +15 offset, and there are no clearance issues. I think the Kosei K1 15x7 has a +17 offset.

Tire selection is getting problematic, but until I'm unable to get R tires in 13 inch sizes, I'm not switching up. Also, I just sunk a bit of change into a set of 13x7 Revolution 4 spoke rims, which look quite pimp, or will when they finally get here this week.
As for the 'cup' bolts, they make me a little nervous but I suppose if the cup is fairly beefy and the wheel centers well, it should work.

The Watanabe RS-8's on my Rx2 are for a 4x110 1st Gen. They are +9 in front (6.5") and +15 rear (7.0") This gives the staggerd widths an even 2" lip.
That's why I asked about the offsets of those wheels before...most are probably in the +24 thru +40 offsets, which will definately not fit.

kosei K1's have +17 offset and fit perfect (don't stick out at all), I will take some pics of mine when I get home and post them for all to see, prolly going to be huge resolution as idk how to resize them.
