who offers wheels for 320's and also what is the offset because i know we have the same bolt pattern as a civic but i think the offset is drastically different.

Let me know and also give links to websites if you have them.

Thanks in advance,

Tirerack.com has 2 versions of 15x7. The e21 offset for 15x7 is 12 or 13mm, hondas usually have 40-42mm offset. Panasport will make them, very nice but pretty expensive.

E30 rims have an offset of 25mm (standard). You will need a 10-15 mm hubcentric spacer to use e30 rims.

Yes, I run e30 bottle caps on my '78 (on my '82 for a year also) with .370" spacers in the front and .300" spacers in the back. No problems at all. They do require longer bolts, I use 43mm from Turner Motorsports.

Side note: Anyone know the offset for 325ix wheels?

i've been informed of ppl using wheels with an offset of up to 20mm with no trouble, but that is hearsay, not something I've actually seen myself.

I have 15x7 enkei's et20. The the front rim is very close to the tie rod end/steeringarm. It will depend on the rim profile design and width. The rear is close to the arm, but its the only way to fit 225's in the rear w/o major mods.
