Finding a needle in a hay stack. Local guy in tx bought my 93 vr4 shell pearl white with 99 front bumper and I let my rims go with it :-/ long story short I want them back or some like it. I know they are obsolete now but I still see a few around on 3s

I know it's not exactly what you're looking for but I have them in 18x9.5 +35 in gun metal. They were off Jesse Rink's 91 stealth (Jrink on here I believe) I'll try to get some pics and PM you when I'm not on my phone.

9.5 +35 in the front will definitely have "poke" that is noticeable.
I have 8.5 +30 in the front and they barely sit a tiny bit past the front fenders

Hmmm maybe I'm mistaken on the offset, I saw a stamping for the 9.5 width and another that I assume was the offset. They definitely didn't poke out by any means.

These are pics of the exact wheels on the car they came off. It looks like I may have made a mistake on the offset as it doesn't appear to be stamped on the back of the wheel. Regardless, they fill the wheel wells extremely well.

2 things I noticed in those picture. The front tires are stretched. Notice how the rims stick out further than the rubber. If that person where to get proper tires you would notice the Poke even more. There still is poke present. It's just not as noticeable because the angle of the picture hides it with the improper tires.

Those are 265 wide tires. They are not stretched by any definition of the word. And I'll be happy to send a mind numbing amount of pics to the OP of fitment on the car, tire size and tire fitment on the wheels if he's interested. I appreciate your input on the offset though as it looks like I was incorrect in my first post.

Then you're right. However, 265 widths on 9.5 inch tires mean the rims will "poke" past the tire. In my opinion, I think it's not pretty. In other words, I would say the tire is not big enough for the rims. Factory 245 on 8.5 sits perfectly flush with each other and to the front fenders.

But that doesn't negate that 9.5 in the front DO poke past the fenders.
