yeah i just got a set of 17x9 roh rims from a friend and its has 315's on them but it doesnt fit on the car wich i knew from the start but i tryed to see if it was true and of course it was but what mod can i do that wont cost me a million to do like tubing and i dont wanna put wheel spacers on the car but if i have no choice then i will but is there any other ways?

when i hae the car jacked up the rim hits the wheel well the part that comes out like a cone shape kinda im not sure what its called lol sorry

hmm...you may be able to put new struts in the car to make it higher off the ground. If its anything likt my model the car is very close to the ground. But that may be more trouble than its worth.

well it seems like if it wernt jacked up the wheels can fit and be like an inch away from the wheel well since the suspension gos down as u jack the car up i just need to avoid that cone part that comes out

I have a similar problem. My car has 245/50/16 wheels on it and sometimes I turn the wheel too far to theright the tire will hit the wheel well. It isnt a very big problem it's just kind of annoying

It sounds like a backspacing issue. Chances are, that's all it is, and you'll need 1.75" or 2" adapters, like from Skulte.com , or put a 4th gen rear end, which eliminates the need for the adapters. What is the backspacing on these wheels?

Did they come from a 4th gen? Or a 3rd gen, with adapters or a rear axle swap?

it came off a 4th gen 1994 he says the back spaceing is maybe 7.5, i may buy his rear end off him

There's your backspacing "problem" then.

On the fronts, to run 4th gen wheels you HAFTA useadapters. On the rear, you can keep your rear & run adapters, or swap in a 4th gen rear & no adapters needed..
