Need more answers about the fit of a rim.

Sorry I need more answers on this question I really like these rims and would like them to fit LOL!!. I found some nice rims that are 17x9 -12 offset and I am going to be running the df120 springs and the hotchkis sway front and rear sways and hp shocks and struts. what tire should i run and what is the wides you think of tire i can run in without rubing. Please help. Or run the full hotchkis kit which gives me room for wheel space.

Sorry man but its not gonna happen the only way you can run that is with some insane camber or flares. if you put them on now youll rub no matter what. but if you insist i ran a 205 40 17

You're absolutely right about no one having those... because they won't fit.

no way to tell without wheel specs. widths and offsets are mandatory. and the tires will definitely have to go.

I kinda figured. I dont think they would fit anymore cause I did a little looking around they came off of a porsche boxer. I think they are 5x130 and not 5x114.3

nope no go. the bolt pattern is wrong and i dont believe there are adapters that like that.

and porsches usually run pretty low offset so youll probably be out of luck there too judging the width of the wheel from the tire size

I correct myself they were on a acura nsx. the spec on the wheels are the backspacing for the rear is 6.5 and the tire is 11" wide tire the front is 5.5 and 9.5" wide tire. I looked at the boltt patturn specs on the acura and it is 5x114.3 so i am in luck with that. I am going to measure how much wheel well space i have and i am rolling the fenders to. Here is a better pic of the rims.
