http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/pts/3258031971.html i really want to pick these up. They are 14x6.5 4x114 with 10+ offset. Any one know if these will work with a adapter? |

No, they will stick out way too far. |

there is not really anything in the craiglist pix for size refrance, but that rim being a 6.5, and the centerline is inside the bead, therefore it is not a 10 inch offset. to get 10 inches from backside of bolt holes to back of beadedge (offset, correct me if i am wrong) the wheel would be way outside the mount surface. i would venture to say that +10 would be +10 centimeters , or about 2.5 inches. i think they might be ok. contact the seller to clairify. |

I really hope that they will. I want wheels like this really bad. I want the gold mesh on the polished lip. I think it would look really good with my burgandy paint. I wad thinking that the cars like this have a 45 offset so, would have to reduce by 35? i am completely forgetful of all of my offset measurements right now. Does anyone have an idea or a solution or this just will not work? |

No, they're wheels for a rear wheel drive car and they don't have anywhere near enough offset. Shame, because they look pretty nice and have decent tires. |

Yeah. That's the problem. If they fit and i could get them for like 200 it would be awesome. Maybe rolling the fenders and camber the wheels a tiny bit mixed with the right tires. If not ill just have to keep a look out. Or just get a datsun and have a second project car i guess..... |

Those wheel will stick out about two inches on the outside of the fenders. Just take your car over there and try one on for size. Ken..... |

Nice looking wheels....remind me of the old '77 Trans Am honeycombs. Looks like a lift and roll the fenders to make them work from my keyboard. Just sayin'... |

My wheels are 15X6.5 with a -40 offset. Do the math, they won't work. |
