I am interested in buying watanabe type r wheels for my 200sx. But, I have a problem trying to pic put the off set for the front wheels and the rear. I would need help. First off I have the stock rims I believe they are 15x7, if I am not mistaken, correct me other wise. I want to stay with the 15 inch wheel I would like them a little wider, maybe 8 width. But I amnot sure about the offset to choose??
This is the link so you can see the rims I would like to buy.
Type R 15 in, please help

The stockers are 15x6.5,with a 38mm? offset.Maybe 35mm,I can't remember.I use 15 x 8,with a 15mm offset for my race tires,with no rubbing issues.I've seen people using 15x 8,with 0 offset.Tire wise,on either of those,I would look for a 225/45-15.They fill up the wheel wells,and looks good from front and back.205/50's just aren't quite big enough to look right,in my opinion.I'm sure someone will post up that I'm wrong,but what the hell.Are you looking for street tires,or something to race on?

I thought the B14 SE-R wheels were 15x5.5? In any case, none of those wheels from the link will work, except for the F8-Type. For one they are all 4x114.3 (except the F8), and they all have RWD offset or are way to big. I love these wheels, but they are more for 240Z's, 510's, and others like that. I love how oldschool dish wheels like this look on the B14, Id be interested to see how F8's look on one. Id really like to see some Konig Rewind's on a B14. Similar style wheel to the Watanabe's.
