I've got the konig rewinds 15x7 with 20 mm offset and I have no clearance issues, nor do they poke out from the fenders.
I think I read a post about some clearance problems with the front springs with these on an SA though.

I use 15 inch and have not issues, just don't hit the potholes!
205/50/15 is good for the front, I use 225/50/15 on my rears, 15x8.5 Epsilons.

Really thinking about this new selection of wheels, Just need wider optins besides 15x7.

I have a 79 Sa and ran into clearance issues with the konig rewinds. I am either going to swap to the 81-85 strut tubes, or find out if the coilover kits give just enough room. I will resolve the issue and post pics.

It is good to see the wheel makers bringing more options to the table for us 4x110 guys.

Good find btw

I don't think that all of these rims are 4x110. I could be wrong, but when you click on the link for Mazda 4x110, it takes you directly to the Konig section of the website. Also, they sell ROH wheels, so why aren't the ROH Snyper's listed as a 4x110 compatible wheel??? Something isn't right here. I think that their website is incorrect about these rims....

^ I think you're right, it wouldn't make sense for Konig to offer their ENTIRE line of wheels with such an obscure bolt pattern. A lot of Konigs wheels are made only for FWD cars. Go to another place like 1010tires or discounttiredirect and you'll only see the RWD Rewinds have a 4x110 option. Sorry guys...

I sent an email asking directly if all the Konig Wheels listed on his site come in 4X110

I also said that the link looks incorrect.

Most likely they ment to show off the Rewinds that will fit our cars.

Will post up once they reply.

GUYS!!!! ATTENTION!!!! your not reading that site correctly, all those wheels listed are in a 4x4.5" bolt pattern (4x114.3mm) so they WILL fit GSL-SE, but not the standard 4x110 BP. If you click on the small hyperlink on the left that says Mazda 4x110 wheels it takes you to a page showing the FAMOUS Konig Rewind.... ands we all already know that it fits. The site is a bit misleading, I think. Just wanted to give a heads up before someone ordered the wrong wheels. Sorry to burst any bubbles.

Rewind Only

I left a voice-mail message in the company mailbox earlier in the week, a salesperson called me back and said the web page was incorrect and it would fixed, the only rim offered is the Rewind in Graphite or Silver 15 X 7

Thanks. I kinda Falken tires.

Is the circumference similar to a stock 185 70R 13? I want similar gearing and a somewhat accurate speedo... if possible.

Yes, as close as could be with 15", there is a chart somewhere....
Per my GPS I am actually running 62 when the speedo says 60, but unfortunately I never tried the GPS on the stock setup. FYI IIRC this combo is about 10lbs heavier per wheel, its been a while but I did check the weights and post results in another thread.
