Are there any other non mitsu wheels that will fit the factory axles (6 bolt) on a '91 rs? Hope that makes sense. Thanks guys.

6x5.5" bolt pattern. Same bolt pattern as some chevy's and some toyota's.
Center bore needs to be big though.
When you say other rims do you mean OEM rims or aftermarket?

I suppose either, I was just trying to expand my options, and it looks like I can <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> ETA: How wide can I go with a rim without modifying?

Well the rim width alone isn't a problem. The offset and tire width are far greater issues when going wide. I run 33x12.5x15 tires on 15x8 rims with a neutral offset without issues on my gen I v6 and 35x12.5x15 tires on 15x10 rims with 4" of backspacking without issues on my 96SR. In both cases I do have a 2" body lift and torqued torsion bars. On my gen I, I also have gen II rear coils which also provides some additional lift. How wide do you intend to go?

I checked into this when I was looking for wheels. After going and checking on quite a number of possibilities I ended up with some SR wheels. Some of the wheels that fit lug wise do not let you have enough center bore. Others are not offset enough and lessen your track + limit your tire options due to clearance. Others I looked at just seemed flimsy.
I also thought about wheel spacers for some of the non offset wheels but decided against it wanting the load sharing on bearings/axles to be as close to OE as possible. If I remember right Ray had a nice sketch made out about wheels and offset versus needs.

as far as wheel size were you refering to diameter or width. I would say that you dont need to go any bigger than a 16in diameter. and width has a lot to do with the offset.

Nissan, Isuzu, GM 1/2T, and AMC 6-lug OEM wheels will not have a large enough hub diameter. I have not mounted up Mazda wheels, so I have no comment for them. Most of the aftermarket steel wheels that I've come across ago on fine. I have mounted up Toyota steel wheels from the 80s trucks with no problem, but they are only 6" wide. I've mounted up late model Tacoma 16" alloys but found the backspacing too much for my preference, then sold them for profit. I really liked the Isuzu Amigo wheels, no go on the front hubs without machining. Find some old Enkei or US wheels, or a narrower tire like a 33x10.5. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
