some people haven't learned the concept of wheel spacers.
I know a guy that has some real nice chrome torque star 5-spokes like those, and put some hub/wheel spacers on, I forget what the measurements were, but they looked pretty sweet.

this guy obviously though slapping something on and hoping it would fit doesn't deserve that TGP. I feel sorry for it.

It probably does have some small spacers in the front. I don't believe the torque star wheels will fit on the front without a small spacer. Like most wheels with that offset, they usually come in contact with the brake caliper(unless he grinded it down a lot :icon_redface: ).

Mustang wheels. ;) There are plenty of 5x114.3 'stang wheels that have offsets that are nearly identical to our crosslaces, so they fit perfectly. You'll want to run hub centric rings with the 5x114.3 bolt pattern(you can find them on ebay and elsewhere, they're pretty cheap...your local tire/wheel shops might even carry them).

To make sure the wheels are centered on the hub when using the Mustang/Nissan/etc. 5x114.3 bolt pattern. ;)
