I'm sure if someone had poly bushings they'd be fine.

AAhha ha ha ha. Ya, the bushings aren't the issue it's the time to install them and that I don't have right now.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Ok I'll take pics tonite. I have 15" motegi wheels on my MX6. I'll include those pics as well. Maybe the 18s will fit my MX6, I'll post on that forum. If not 18s are up for sale, price yet to be determined (this is a retorical so no requirement for the [FS] thing). lol

Universal fit. there's extra holes so as far as I know they fit 4 or 5 bolt pattern. i'll double check. Thanks for the heads up.

Universal fit rims are either 4-bolt or 5-bolt:

4x100 - 4x113
5x100 - 5x114

really? ive seen nissans with a 5 lug on the rear and the 4 lug up front with the same rims that have the same crazy bolt pattern. there is such a thing as 5 and 4 bolt. its really weird looking, like section of the 4 bolt hole cuts into the 5 bolt.

although they might look good if they were 5 bolt. but 4 bolt with an extra 5 holes might look kinda bad....

Cut into it?? I am thinking thats not to good for strength... What is the rim brand? I have never heard of these and neither has my distributor!... Maybe some sort of JDM thing! :freak:

Still, it stays a personal opinion. I like it a lot, but for me it's the maximum size. Some people in the Dutch community drive 19 or 20"
Just another Mx3 freak :)
