Aloha,

Just wondering if you guys run into many problems in trying to fit your wheels. Are there usually clearancing problems with the fenders? Do these cars require wheels with odd offsets? I assume the answers to these questions probably vary with manufacturer.

How many of you stick with a 5-205 lug pattern? How many w/ the 4-130? How many of you change to something like a Honda or H20 VW bolt pattern? I would consider this, as it provides a much wider selection of wheels.

Aloha,

Nevermind. I'm a complete moron. I didn't notice that this has already been addressed recently. I suppose that's what you get if you don't show up for a while. :)
