ok, dont know why but id like to get a new set of wheels for my car. something a bit lighter and larger than my current AR Carrera's. would there be any repercussions for using a FWD wheel on a RWD vehicle?? or is that just an offset issue?? i believe im currently doing so but id like to steer away from any dangers with my next set of wheels.



also, my current wheels are 15x7, would a 16x7 or even 17x7 fit if it has the same offset??

thanks

What pattern is your car?Is it a 4x110 pattern?You could use rustang wheels if it is.If its a 4x114 the you could look at some 240sx wheels.I've seen FBs sporting 17's on the stock offset so I say it is very possible.
