Well, if you're going to use them on an S13, these won't work because they're not 4 x 114.3. To be honest, I wouldn't go for these for a couple reasons.

1) they're very thick, and most good looking, 5-lug wheels have low offsets. Put that together and you're going to have a wheel track so wide you'd need overfenders on top of overfenders to make them fit.
2) The thickness also covers up the wheel hub, so your lugs will not only be holding the wheel on, but also supporting the weight of the car. (Not a good thing). If you notice on the Ichiba wheel spacers, the thicker ones have a machined-in step, which essentially extends the hub, so your wheel is supported.

But, if you're building a show car, or a really light-duty backup car, then these will be ok.
