Sorry dude, not a snowflake's chance. They're about an inch too wide, and the offset is RWD (almost 2" in the wrong direction).

You need something more like 13x5.5" with a +40 offset.

see what you mean..

i wonder how far those superlights would stick out if i am using stock suspension?

i guess i could flare the gards out by a 2.5cm, it may cover it lol

Given the rim width and agressive offset those AE86 superlites would stick out at least 2 inches.

Well they'd stick out 30mm further than a standard wheel.

If you want to check these things for yourself use the handy wheel calculator:

Input the specs and it will show you the expected change.

I've got 13x6 +21s and they stick out a fair way. You would really need to flare the guards to fit +13s

I might get a top down photo to show you

i guess ill have to work out how much you can flare the guards on the altoworks, otherwise it seems deepdish wheels will never fit?

You're dealing with a car that has FWD offset wheels, so if you want dish you have two options - flare the arches and use RWD offset wheels, or find FWD offset wheels that have spokes that curve inwards to give the effect of dish.

Best example of this is Volk TE37 Cup (They have to be the 'Cup' model though)

Here are some photos of how far my Wantanabes stick out.

The front flair is approx 55mm deep, so depending on how phat the tyres will be, I might need to flair the guard a bit more to make them fit. The rear should be fine.

So, +13's will be way to wide. Could be an interesting look though. :)
