Stance freeks help! Chance for some nice wheels

Got a chance to pick these up for $200




16" Staggered salad shooters
8.5" in front
9.5" in rear

The guy who originally had them had 4-5 lug adapters but sold them to someone else.


So....ive got a set of 16'' tires brand new, Fuzion HRI's 205/50/16s

this is what they would look like stretched to fit:


diff wheel but same tire and 9.5 width. Stance forums says they are "safe" at that stretch.


What do you guys think about a stretch like that? Am i retarded for doing it?


Then the second problem is i need 4-5 lug adapters. I know a guy selling them 4x100 57.1 to 5x120. They are 25MM. So that puts me out an inch already. Would my wheel stick out a mile with 9.5 in the back?

If this is a total fail idea just say it. Dont be a dick though I have feelings. Seriously.

Well I wouldn't put them on my car, but then everyone has different taste that's why there are different types of wheels.

There are a couple guys running the salad shooters. Not too sure about those ones specifically though. It looks like a "safe" stretch to me as I've seen worse and they're still rolling around. Have you checked the stance calculator in the wheels section?

width thats about it. I think they look a bit retro too. But I would not go out of my way to pay for these at all. $200, for a set of 8.5/9.5 staggered wheels.....thats a deal!
