A new year brings new parts! I have searched for a few days now on this site and have determined the only wheels for a 6MT are either RonJon, Tork, Axis, Privat, EXE, and a few others (VERY LIMITED FOR THE MT's). Does someone have something else like Sacchi, MKW, Akuma Racing, or even Diamo??? MOST of the wheel web sites do not specify a 6MT fit. What is the key measurement that determines if it will clear the BBK? All of the above wheels look great... but I want something different to break the monotony. Thanks for your help!

Offset and Back Space are key I think. Not sure the relationship between them or the limits on them.

Enkei & Volk have fitments. Others too.

There are MANY, MANY threads about this subject in here. All you have to do is look through them. The key, if I had to choose just one, is the offset. For the BBK, you need at the highest, a +45mm offset. That's the stock OEM wheel offset. You can probably go into the mid-30's as well, before you have to roll your fenders. If a wheel's offsets are between +35 - +45mm, you should be fine.

So I should be good with a set of 18" Stern ST7's or ST8's? Can't spend a lot... have 3 kids!!! Privat Netz are nice too, but I read only the 19's will clear the calipers. It is hard to find the CORRECT info here because people say different things about the same wheel.

I hear ya. Al, (stillhere153), will be able to help you out more. But, if the offset on any wheel is too high, you always have the option of running spacers to clear the BBK!

Thank you for your help. I am new so I do not have permission to send anyone a PM. I am not sure when I will, so I will have to wait to contact stillhere152 to get the information. Thanks again!

i hope this helps and my rims are for sale, good deal PM me if your interested

I am leaning towards the Nets or the Stern ST7 or ST8 (IF THEY FIT). What about the Nets in a 18" fitting??? I thought we could only fit a +35 - +45 offset on our cars... is that not the case?

You can go lower than +35, but you'll run a chance of rubbing. Or, you'll have to roll your fenders. It depends on which wheel you want, since each wheel is designed differently and the spokes of each wheel might be positioned at different angles.

^ lower offset means more of a chance of rubbing ... but it all depends on your ride height and tires too...

the nets are nice but if you change your mind let me know i ll give you a real good offer you cant pass up
