alright, just starting to look at costs of rims and stuff thru my work and i found out i can get some Motegi MR7's for 131.32 each (cnd)
they are 15x 6.5 with a 35mm (1.37 inches) offset and 5.13 backspacing.
now the whole thing with the offset and backspacing is how should u measure it? or how does the company measure it? just curious because if these rims will work with my car then i might snag a set when i get some serious cash cuz i've got some nice dunlops sitting in the garage waiting to be put on.

Uhhh..
Those rims would probably rub on your car.. You should be looking for something with at least a +40mm offset I think. From personal experience a 15" rim with a +35mm offset should rub.. Mine did.

um no mine are actually 14s. I got 14s just to keep the spoedometer the same and i didnt want big rims at the time. But i got ripped off. But bought them brand new $80.00 each shipped.it was like 400.00 in the end with the lug nuts. Check ebay u can get them for about 500.00 for 16s with tires.
