6ul wheels
I am looking into buying a set of these wheels for my b13. I was wondering what size do you guys that have them run and if you have any fitment issues.

I tried to test fit gen2(36 offset) 15x8 949s with 205/50-15 Nitto NT-01 tires on a classic B13,with RM/AGX .Rear fenders rolled.
With a 5mm spacer on the rear,the clearance was like a sheet of paper between the sidewall and the strut body at rest (1mm at the most).I am pretty sure it would rub around corners with any tire flex.
Perch was no problem in the rear with the 5mm spacer.
Front was ok with no spacer.
I lost the pics I took...not sure where they went or I would post them.

With a stock type strut,The 15x7 may work good,but you need coilovers to run the 15x8.

I recently contacted 949 Racing regarding fitment on a B13. They recommended the 36mm offset 15x7 for all four wheels, with 15x8 as an option for the front, but not the rear.

This is consistent with Eggman's experience.

They also indicated that they have hub centric rings for our cars that fit their wheels.

7.5" might be the sweet spot for width, but if you're not planning on running over 225mm wide tires, I don't exactly see the point of going wider than 7" wheels. *shrug*

good point. i don't see my self running dumb wide tires unless i go back to the dark side (turbo).

i'm starting to think 15x7 will be better for me.
