I gotz a 98 lx sedan... and i've been trying to find wheels and I think I might have found sum but Im afraid that they might be a little small... they're rota grid offroad series at a 16x8 with a +20 offset... but I've also have been reading that they might of be discontiued because they're hard on cars? or sumthin like that because the offroad series was originally made for like trucks n suv's but I've seen em on this teg and I love how they look Im jus afraid they might be a little small. And they only come in 16x8 and 20x8.5 and I know 20's are not for me. lol I think they are the sex on this teg!

I jus want sum wheels that arent meshy with a low offset.. I like how these look.

Im currantly running sum Drifz 505 17x7 +40 offset and Im sick of em.. so would 16x8 with a +20 offset look goofy on a car like ours?

be like it is
thats what i figured :lawl:

well...get ready for the things that come with aggressive rim fitment such as fender rolling and negative camber. you also might need a spacer in back but i'll let the experts take over from here :peek:

i personally am a fan of 16s if done right...

You will need way more than a 2inch drop to pull that off lol. But you are right, those wheels are sexy

you think I'd have intense wheel well gap? I jus wanna ride right on top of the rubber... can that be pulled off with tein ss's n those? or do tein ss's not go low enough? I havent lowered them all the way I still have like a .25 of an inch to go.. I just looked at tein's website and it says that i can lower my car 3.1 inches up front and 2.9 inches in the rear... so if I lowered my car all the way could I pull it off?

I have F2 coilovers that will slam my body to the ground. I believe with the tein ss you will still have a lot of wheel gap but I think there is a solution which something called tein helper springs. Search that

to look right you would need much fatter tires than the ones on the teg and doing that would defeat the look so. dont do it.
