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.

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.
