THAT IS AWESOME! Those wheels look great IMO on 140s... See here... =D They should be fine, but if your car is lowered, or your suspension get's compressed a lot somehow, you will get some rubbing in the front on the inner front fender. One of our locals, running the 850R wheels(17x7) said that on his lowered 140, when on the highway, sometimes they would rub and the car would act like you hit the brakes... 5mm spacers might help and make it look even better. WheelKing will sell you a set for cheap, or you could go with 3mm spacers... Anything more than that and you should use longer studs, well, even with the 5mm ones it's best to use longer studs, but you can get away with it if need be. Can't wait to see them installed!
