    i would advise a bit wider than a 185, its a 8 inch rim.

    8 inch is pretty wide for a ke70, i take it its the fulli sik

    pfft, mine ran 15x9.5" -8 offset and looked porn.

    lotsa dish on those puppies.

    but i doubt they would fit under stock guards.
    you can fit 17x9" rims under the back with the guards lipped, had them on last week but i would have to double check the offset.

    cheers

    ideally you want the rim close to the strut, so you don't feck your scrub radius..

    take your current rims. measure rim to strut clerance, then measure backspace...
    leave a few mm clearance and add the different to the backspace, and then work out what offset....

    or just go - offset
    these -12's should fit..

    or these -16 14x9's
    http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d82651384
    or 14x10, -16

    anyway, measure the clearance and backspace, and report back..
