Diamond racing wheels
I was looking at some of the crazy fitment cats on stancenation.com and noticed some old school looking steely wheels, I hopped on over to their site and come to find out they make wheels in 4x110 bolt pattern in the size and whatever offset that I want....

I have seen a few guys run them, they didn't look bad & if I remember they weren't that expensive.

I have seen them on 1st gens, 2nd gens, all years of 240's, all years of corollas, and all types of Hondas, ect.
It's been done 100 times over. They are very hard to beat at the price and fitment is endless. If you get the real wheels, they are pretty light and decently cheap. But you can get look a likes that are pretty damn heavy for much cheaper. Depends on what your trying to do with your car.

I think with flares, 9" would be about right. Good luck with your mod.

Fitting 9s with zg flares can be done but not with a zero offset unless your wanting to stretch tire or something. Mine are 15x8 0 offset, the fronts are flush and the rears are barely inside the flare.

I have a brand new set of Diamond racing wheels they are black steel wheels 15x7 not sure of the offset. I bought them for a race car project but haven't used them if you are interested in them pm me and see what we can work out.
