okay after much debating i broke down and snagged some starion/conquest rims from the junkyard knowing full well that the rear offsets may be too low. if this belongs in tech just move it, i just figured lots of people might want this info.

alright so we have three different rims here. turbo'd varients supposedly come only with 16x8 and 16x9's (staggered) but the car i found had 7's and 8's like the NA models so this test only involves the 7 and 8 inch wide rims.

the pis speak for themselves.

16x7 on the rear might need a little pulling and at least fender rolling but they fit pretty perfectly flush.

now, maybe the 16x9's would have a better offset (doubt it as they just have a higher offset adding rim to inside the wheel well). unless you add some fender by pulling or aftermarket bolt ons these suckers will look like crap.

this is why i believe the 16x9's just have a higher offset. notice how a TON of rim can still fit back there.

here's a shot of a 7 and 8 side by side

if anybody has anything to add or ask for go for it.

i'm almost certainly gonna sell them but if i did keep em they'd look like this when i was done:
