Well I ordered mine a couple of weeks ago and Brain told me that they should fit on my 17" Moda R6's, but I ve seen that some people cant even get them to fit on 18s and now Im starting to get worried. If you bought them and they didnt fit tell me what size and what brand rim you tried it with. Thanks

This poll honestly wouldn't be accurate unless you find out the offset of the rims as well. But the real problem is that even offset won't tell the whole story... the design of the spoke is very important as well. Sorry I couldn't be of more help...

They fit with my aftermarket 18" with 35mm offset... but my spokes are made for big brakes... my link below should be working... click to see some pics... I have over 1/2" of clearance between my Wilwood Calipers and spokes...

Damn Chung...fat lip and big brake kit. I thought I would never able to see that. I think 8.5" wide rim really give them the extra room. I have about 1/2" clearance too.

I think 5mm-10mm spacers would be fine since the 97+ SE rims are 45mm offset... it'd only change it to 40-35mm offset...

1MAX2NV... I think that 10" wide rims will fit on the back... at least with the KONI rear shocks... plenty of room left on the inside even with my 8.5"... I'm looking at the SE37As
