^ EXACTLY what I was thinking.

Be patient. Save some money up and get some quality wheels with a nice offset.

If you machined the center section into a rotor shape, you might be on to something.
As they are now...no, just wrong.

My old miata came with those wheels when I got it, but they were the correct offset for it, and 14s. When I curbed it, I found it impossible to find a replacement wheel, good excuse to get rid of them. I later saw an Astro sporting the same design, it fit the van much better.

Annnnd, search and then search some more til you KNOW exactly the offset that YOU want. Take some measurements...do some math, its not all that hard, u'll be happier in the long run

Also check the following to help you in your quest: http://www.willtheyfit.com/ AND to get an idea of how different tire sizes fit different sizes of wheels: http://tyrestretch.com/

Nice. I saw the link, I read the material. I have NO idea what you are talking about.
You don't HAVE to reply. I'm sure somebody a little bit more mature will offer help.
