what Marc and Yuta are trying to say is, don't do it man.
It will look like total **** and that offset is pretty horrible.

those are fwd offsets. those wont clear the struts. you need something <=20. and a better wheel, not motegi.

theres nothing "fwd" about high offsets. most exotic/race cars use high offset wheels because of more compact steering and suspension setups. but, in this case you will require a +25 offset or lower in order to clear coilovers.

ok the only wheels that i like are motegi touges and gram lights and the grams are out of my price range right now. I dont wanna do a 5 lug.ok then find me something in the 17x9 range lightweight and decent looking i really cant find that much in 4x114.

no ****, but they belong on a fwd, lol. we dont drive exotics anyways, or race cars for that matter. back on topic, to the OP if you want a decent lookin car dont get those wheels.

FDs and S2000's require SUPER high offsets. but thats not the point.

there really are no decent wheels for 4 lug readily available in the US.

save up a bit more do a 5lug conversion and get your gramlights. the new 57 optimise and 57 maximum look fresh as ****.

...or at least thats what i would do in your situation.
