SSR SP1R. Anyone running them??

I am thinking about getting them in hyper black BUT I can't find 16x10 tires anywhere. Does anyone know where I could get some rubber?
I want to run 16x8 F and 16x10 R

Plus if you have these wheels show some pics!

Only obvious difference I can see is smaller wheels, and way less screws.

SP1 - R is a reverse lip.

SP1 is a step lip.

What offset are you trying to run and how low do you want to go?

I am already as low as I want to go thats why I want 16inch. I do however want a 45 to 50 series sidewall. As for an Offset I am unsure. Is 26 right?

First off you *** clowns I WANT 16's period! I could give two ***** about being too small OR not performance enough. I am not going to be circuit racing anymore, this car is strickly my weekend toy for spirited driving and getting the **** away from my kids and wife.

Hypertek, they come in 5x114.3. 9's in the front will track too much on these city roads. My 225's in the front already track/rut really bad. They do look like **** on that S13. I am already running 16 SSR MK-II R's and I honestly do believe thr SP1R's will look good. Trust. Any 10 inch rear wheel will look good on an FC.

Dirftwerks- "excessive negative camber and stupid *** offsets"... LOL

seems to be a waste of a 10" rim to only put a 255 on the car, lighter narrower rim might be better then

what tire size did you want to run murray

I listen fine my friend , your advice isn't taken due to lack of credibility.

Anyway thanks for the post on the Hoosiers, I found those in a JEGS listing. Will have to go with those if I get the wheels.
