Robert has these. Only downfall is they are 6" wide vs a stock beretta wheel which is 7" wide.

so they will make a more narrow stance?

they squish the tire as well... 225's will have a noticable side bulge and I am not sure on the stance but yes if the offset isn't quite the same there is the possibility of the stance changing.
I didn't measure Roberts car from well face to wheel face so I can't accurately answer that question, just guessing.

i ran these on my beretta for years, i never noticed any stance difference i thought they looked pretty good back then, what a bitch to keep clean
I always ran 205/55/16s on them

Damn that is sad to hear.
So where there any changes with those wheels? Like handling,ride or MPG? I'm thinking of getting some Cavy wheels after I felt how light they were vs the Z26 wheels. Those were the older gray 5 star style though. I swear they were at least 5lbs less or more.
If those wheels on your car have the same weight that would be fine. I can find them at the JY or online.

no i didn't really notice any handling its surprisingly i had those z24 rims on that car too, then a GTZ kit and GTZ rims. It went though a lot! RIP
The car was a 2.2 base 5 speed, it got excellent mileage regardless of the rims.
5 spoke z24 rims off a 1999 with centers off the 2003 z24

Oh crap I remember that car now.
Thanks for the info and photos! I'm really thinking hard about putting some Z24 or LS wheels on. Poor old tired car has a hard time pushing those heavy Z26 wheels. Tires are the same size as what goes on the z24's anyway.
