So I've been looking at steelies

I was inspired by this thread https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generati...nyone-1002866/. The problem is I know nothing about wheels. I found these http://www.summitracing.com/parts/crr-3975812/overview/ but I don't know how they would fit onto my car (s4 na). I have the sport/GXL wheels on it now.

I love the way this looks and would like to emulate it.

Wheel Diameter: 15 in.
Wheel Width (in): 8.000 in.
Offset: -13.00mm

a -13mm offset wont fly on stock body without a lot of camber and a pull. 15x8 + 30 would work well with a 225 wide tire. I have 225-50-16 at +13 and it takes camber and hammering up the fender lip to clear. Depending on camber and how much of a roll/pull a 205 with 0 offset could possibly work, but even then I would shoot for between +10 and +30

I'll weigh in. Weight, offset size are crucial on a FC. I wouldn't go beyond 9 inches wide, 20 pounds, or below 24ish offset, or the car will turn to **** fast. Recommend trolling zilvia.net used wheel forums.

My wheels are 15x8's neg -6 to-10 from measuring . Have 205/50/15's on them .you would have to go with so much neg camber to even try and fit them under some really pulled and rolled fenders . One of the biggest reasons I went flared
