Question FWD & RWD Rims what's the difference

Hello,

Ive got a 88TII and want some 17''s (black 5 lug type) and all the rims I like are for FWD. What's the difference between the FWD and RWD rims. Are they made different or something. Any one with some rim selections would bB the ****, I have been looking forever.
Thanks,
Benny

no such thing as far as i know.

as long as offset and lug pattern match, then it will fit.

usually only offset is the difference between FWD and RWD wheels.

I agree. I think its just the offset. Just make sure they fit and arent real narrow ones with a big offset made for some civic. There was a guy on here with some of those type rims and reported that his car handled bad. But im no expert.
