I need to get new rims and need help with sizes

I have an rhd FD and atm i have 18 inch tires (265) in the back and 145 in the front.

I am looking for these rims:

I need to know the FDs bolt pattern and what would fit for my car.

Any help is appreciated.

Just wanted to let you know, this is in the wrong forum.

Those are the same size as the stockers in terms of width, why don't you go wider? the 5x114.3 is the right pattern. Do you mean 245 or do you actually mean 145?

5x114.3 is the bolt pattern.

None of those are wide enough in my opinion. What's your price range?

Yep, I was thinking that it wasn't wide enough too. Don't just buy the wheels for the lip and titanium finish, unless you're running a show car get something more practicle. Some Volk TE37s are nice =D

The FD is a world class sportscar and deserves much wider, and / or Forged wheels.

Go try for some Enkei wheels or obviously i would recommend SSRs too.

I appreciate the opinion but I like the look of the rims that are in the links I provided. How wide would you go if you were to get new rims and tires?

8" is not bad for width. You definitely do not want to go any smaller than 8" as that's the stock width. Find whatever fits your tastes, use and wallet.

I hope you didn't get those rims. 8 width is a little small for fds. I am running 8.5 (245/40/18) in the front and 9.5 (265/35/18) in the rear (regamasters) and it fits perfect. Not very aggressive but clean.
