There are a couple of rundown mitsubishi starion turbos around here with totally clean wheels on them.



They are 16x9 according to my DSM buddies, and I know that the bolt pattern is the same. My question is, "Will they work without spacers?"



P.S. the fronts are not 16x9....i think they're 16x7 or 8



P.P.S. my car is a 87 Turbo II.





Thanks

ive seen it, they stick out

jackboots 02-16-2004 12:35 PM

well, the stockers are tucked in like little kids on christmas eve. How bad do they stick out?

j9fd3s 02-16-2004 12:46 PM

like an inch or so

jackboots 02-16-2004 12:48 PM

is that with spacers, or does it need them? It seemed like there might not be enough clearance on the inside....



also, and most importantly...does it look good? Or Rat Fink-ish?

Travisty 02-16-2004 12:54 PM

i am thinking rat finkish cause they are ugly wheels to begin with

jackboots 02-16-2004 12:56 PM

well thats totally a matter of taste, I just meant the stickin-out part...thats all. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blush.png





oh, and imagine them flat black as well....

Travisty 02-16-2004 01:03 PM

definitely go flat black if you get em.

jackboots 02-16-2004 01:06 PM

I've noticed that too.

UniqueTII 02-16-2004 01:59 PM

My TII was everything but white...and black.

Travisty 02-16-2004 02:05 PM

no offense to Unique TII but i am gonna go out on a limb here and say that your TII, while its fit and finish was second to none, the color and stripe thing made me want to stab my eyes out with a red hot poker.





seriously the paint job was amazing. you cant deny that. i guess it just wasnt my thing.

UniqueTII 02-16-2004 02:20 PM

Maybe you'll like my next one better, then.



You know, I can handle constructive criticism, and I wouldn't mind if you just said you didn't like it, but that's a pretty mean way to talk about the appearance of someone's car.

Travisty 02-16-2004 07:26 PM

If you can hold off a few days, I can get you pics of my FC with a front and rear on one side.

Dramon_Killer 02-16-2004 10:53 PM

I laughed.
