Not lookin too bad....with the flares I could run a wider tire than what this guy is and the ricer'esk look would'nt be so bad because all that meat would be under the flare and not sticking out...

IIRC no! it will on a 1.6 NA, but since the brakes on 94 and up are bigger, you cant clear them!
you technically can if you put 1.6 brakes on your car!
somebody correct me if im wrong, im goin based off what i was told!

I'm wondering with the obviously heavier wheels how much that effect is amplified by the low offset. I'm thinking leverage. It's not only heavier but also further from the axis point of the suspension. Going to an 18- 20lb wheel + moving it out another 3 inches may be like running a 25 lb wheel at a normal offset. I'm thinking weight becomes pretty important the further out you go.
Look for some used Kodiaks, keizer's or the like to keep weight down!

Business is in volume...so if they were to offer it like that, as a special option, we'd pay for it! Although it would probably be worth paying the premium....

**EDIT** Doesn't look promising (http://clubroadster.net/vb_forum/sho...ighlight=15x10)
On another note, these panasports would have been nice...the offset wasn't ideal (+25) but I think that could have been fixed sine its a 3 pc wheel...

what has to be done to fix the turning radius issue with the larger and wider wheels on NA's!
right now im running 16x8 0 offsets, i already got the upper fender worked out! (i yelled at it ha) but turning causes some issues!
i know when getting the flares, your pretty much hacking up the fender and bolting/riveting them on! but will that solve turning radius scrub?

Just came across these...not to bad. Similar to the diamond racing:
Aero Race Wheels
13x10
Welcome To Aero Race Wheels ~ Estherville, Iowa
These are their "Black Chrome" Wheels
They do make 15x10's but they are again, quite heavy in comparison
Did I mention they were dirt cheap...if you click on the close out section, you can pick up some 13x10s for $30ea. I'm tempted to buy one just to see if it'll clear my calipers
