Just wondering what wheel widths and offsets to use on the front and rear of an ST165 to get the *flush fender* look. I deally without wheel spacers, of course. On tirerack.com, they recommend a +35mm on a 7.5" wide wheel...anyone have any good answers for me please?

that looks damned awesome. you take the plastic panelling off. i had been looking for a st165 w/o panelling and i think it looks ALOT cleaner. what else did you do (does the stock bumper work w/ that?). i was thinking of just taking the paneling off the doors and seeing what that looked like.

do they make those wheels in black, and what size are they? where did you get them?

JP 165 doesn't have those plastic panelling as Dustin said.

If you remove your plastic panelling you'll see alot of holes like this.

Has anyone used 235 tires on our cars? I was told that they would work with the right offset but i don't know what offset that would be :shrug: Any ideas?

Has anyone tried using a VW golf BBS wheel on a ST165? 17" 7.5 5 x 100 +35. Seems like it would fit. BBS RX style. I always like the old white conv. RX7's with the BBS wheels. -ed
