+50mm offset. 13.8 lbs a piece for the '93's. I know... I have a set, myself.



I just use a 5/16'' spacer to push 'em out.

hrm, mine are only +38 offset and are closer to 12lbs, do you have the ones with the 90 degree cast connection?

You sure about that one? Should say right on the wheel.



You may want to re-check yours. Because as far as I know, they only got heavier after 1993.

Yeah I'll have to check them.

I do know there were two styles though of varying weight. One had 90 degree joints that was prone to breaking the other had more curved joints that are generally considered much stronger, I believe the wieght difference between the two styles was around 1lb.

The '93's were un-reinforced. That's what I have. They're the lightest. I've never weighed them, but I've seen others weigh them on a scale and they come out to 13-14 lbs.

Now all of this comes as knowledge I believe to be true so if you discover something different, let me know. Being a knowledgeable and credible source of information is more important to me than being right.

Anyhow... dude, I'm sorry for hijacking your thread. Apparently they'll fit just fine. MK Slayer, they look pretty good. I'd like to see them not painted black but that's a personal preference. I've been considering running 245/45/16's. It's something you may want to consider as well, as they are 16x8's.

On tire size, I wanted to run 245/50-16 as that was closest to stock diameter but being as wide as possible. Unfortunately I couldn't locate any tires with those measurements, I went to discount tire, tire rack, and tread depot but no luck finding anything other than shaven race tires. In the end I went with 225's but they were wider than the stockers.

I'll have to go look for the information I read a while back. I'm pretty sure it was on a forum so who knows if its credible. I'll go with your numbers until I can find a credible source. I need to go look at my rims, but it's raining and I don't feel like getting wet.
