Ok offset as in wheel lug pattern or the off set of rim it self This is what I have been dealing with and its kinda my specialty...ok all RXs pre GSLSE are 4x110 =4 lug ..110 mm

very hard lug pattern to find and very limited..and not to newer style rims. Ok **** like ft wheel drives hondas, toyotas etc..are 4x100



GSLSE 84/85 lug pattern if i can remeber is 4x4.5



Ok this is what I will have to deal with to put my 16 in rims on...go find a GSLSE ft set up and rear axel ....very hard where im from...so........2 options left..



If you are getting a rim with centercaps....theres custom shops that can drill your rims ..and resleave them..it does not weakin them ......but not my choice..



Or this is what im gonna do ....

billit aluminuim adaptors with 4x4.5 lug pattern...



Add screw in type studds to Rx ft hubs and rear axel add some loctight



Then put on the adaptors..it shoulds be 4x110 holes and 4x4.5 stds sticking out on the adaptors...the studs you screw in then add loctight on will use regular style acorn lug nuts

*remeber since you are putting adaptors on it ..it will put the off set of the Rim out+ more....so you will have to find a ft wheel drive rim example tuner style with a hight positive offset..the custom rim shop that i will be dealing with will make me 4 adaptors for the price of like 140$ dealers cost..



The shop needs to know the off set on the rim itself.

remeber* the higer the offset ..the better the rim will tuck under the fender to give it a normal look....they recommend anything with 35+ or more postive offset.....the rims im dealing with are +42 so the rim shop will know how thick or thin they need to make the adaptors



I hope you can understand this jibberish......if not I can draw out a image for you all to see...





Also if any of you need items like screw in studs...for RX 1st gen hums let me know..ot for any R100 RX2 RX3 I can get them ....



I get them little over whole sale ..and will only charge for shipping..I dont care about making money on them ..its a wholesale rim distributor..and I deal with them alot..and it keeps my buisssness good with them no matter if i spend 20$ or 2k..



but how you put them on it up to you....and not my responsiblility.....

Ok ..another hint...buying used rims new rims...

all offsets and rim size/width are stamped on the back of the rim ...BUT lug whole size are not ....but just remeber ..most ft wheel drive cars now are 4x100...most there are But acceptions...with hub bore if the center if the rim is not big enuff it will not line up..even though right lugg pattern
