    Jon - are your arches stock? I think you may have issues fitting a 315 under the rear arches, even with a flare, you'd need a pretty significant one at best, especially with softy drag suspension

    They have had a bit of minor hammer work so far (lip rolled in to allow the 255's to clear)

    I don't really want to do too much to the arches as I like the 'stock' look,

    I'm wondering about maybe making some suspension modifications to give more 'inner' clearance?

    Sorry for my stupidness there then chaps...

    I am waiting on confirming pricing and availability for these steels.

    Being as there are a few of you... we could commission a wheel for you if there's enough who need them in the same size... any thoughts?
    Are steel wheels heavy, light wheels would be preferable, do you have any example pictures of the steels?

    Steel wheels are going to be heavy...

    Split rims would be worth looking at, I am investigating

    15" x 10J should do it, 5 x 4.5" is correct for S14 isn't it?

    No idea what 'rear spacing' means though... is that US for ET?

    @ 15" x 15J.... thats some serious width

    backspacing is kinda like offset, but measured in a different way. Its the distance between the inner lip of the rim and the hub mating face at the centre of the rim, but theres conversion tables that put it in a nice friendly et format

    I will investigate to be sure Ed

    Yes we can get narrower...

    They're pretty heavy though, they wont help handling any!
