Requesting pics! Starion rims on a FC!

Looking to get some Mitsubishi Starion rims for my FC. Just requesting some pics and a few questions.

I still don't understand how the whole offset thing works, I was just wondering if the starion rims will fit without rubbing on the fender or brakes or anything. I don't have a 4pot setup installed yet.

If it requires it, I can do rolling and pulling. Used the baseball bat trick on my buddies s13 and it worked great for when he slammed it on equips.

What about fitment? In eriksseven's thread, he says his rims are custom done.

The stock offset of these rims is like 16x7 +18 on the front and 16x8 -10 for the rear.

I think he added a 10mm spacer in the front but don't quote me on that. Why don't you PM him?

i agree, they look wierd on anything outside of a starion, it just screams "i got these wheels at the junk yard".. as alot of 240s i see that have em are typically drift beat up.

Well, I got them yesterday. They don't need spacers to fit on the front, they clear the suspension no problem. The rears stick out quite a bit though. Think I might have to get fenders. I'll post pics when I get home from work today.

The rims are actually extremely cheap. You can find a set with decent tread still left on them for about 150$. A junkyard owner quoted me 200$ on the special edition wider 16x8 and 16x9 rims with 4 good tires.

i personally think some stock s5 wheels would look better than cheaping out on some rims from another old car like starion, but thats just me.

this is the only pic i have, and its only the rear wheels. imo they dont fit really well on the back, unless pull or skinny tires. but they sure look cool!
