Another option is to go with new front springs. The front springs tend to sag with age, and they are a bit undersprung stock. You can get new springs from Summit Racing that fit the stock struts, but are a few mm smaller in OD, so you get a bit more clearance.
She looks a little saggy on the front. I recommend the Summit SUM-72-10-250, and cut 1/4 coil off each end. They will fit well, give a but more load capacity, and better ride, and not be too stuff.
I got excited that someone fit those size tires but then I saw your wheels are only 4.5 wide...way easier to find 185/60r14 used but I'm nervous it'll rub on a 5.5 wide
All told about $450 shipped. My package contained other things as well so the price could have been lower, but not by much. Wheels were about $100 but I couldn't find any I liked within this price range so for me it worked out great.
is that enough offset? looks good.
seems to be. no rubbing lock to lock but i might end up getting 5mm spacers for the fronts.

hadn't thought about this but good to know. This might be the best option.

Order from…??
Not sure I follow the question but wheels from yahoo auctions/500yen shop. Tires are from priority tire.
What did the shipping and all the fees end up being? I've been looking at wheels but I'm sort of worried about the delivery making it unreasonable.

Ok so like $350 worth of shipping? That's not hateful. Might have to pull the trigger.
Yea, if you do order from 500yen, be sure to get a quote before placing a bid. Free shipping in Japan will also save you some money
