Assuming you meant 5x114.3 (not 144.3), a partial list would include:
Acura RSX and NSX (ought to be able to find some nice wheels here). Some higher end Chrysler products including older cars (Cuda, etc.) Ford Crown Vic and related Lincoln-Mercury cars. Mazda RX7 with 5 bolt from 86 on. Nissan 300 ZX from 90 on and 300 ZX Turbo from 84 on Toyota Supra from 93 on.
Question. What is the exact wheel offset for both IMSA and Archie-Widebody wheels?? There is no problem getting 18x9 - 18x9.5" wheels with a 5x100 bolt pattern... and the same wheels in a 17/18 x 7-8... just have to know where to look. But what is the offset we need for the front/rears in order for the wheels not to hit???

A 18x9.5, 35mm rear using the Mad-Arch kit will look shallow on the rear and the front 18x8.5, 35mm will stick out big time!

Those are very nice. But 8.5" in front with 35mm offset?? Get ready for a tractor look.
Lol i thought i was building the batfiero.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymot...QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I have flared guards front and rear these will fill them and seem to be a good price shame im on other side of world doesnt appear to post worldwide but i will ask. But i also dont like all the extra drill holes for the 100 and 114.3 patterns but i guess it makes it available and affordable at least. I dont think the offset will be a problem on front as it is 35mm on 7 inch wide wheel standard. i have 2 inch flare on front.

I might find out the hard way this week i have found a set of multifit mesh wheels that ar 8.5 front and 10.5 rear with a 35mm offset i am thinking if the bolt pattern is 114.3 and if there is not a 5 x 100 bolt pattern on the wheels. I will use bolt pattern adapters but wondering if i will need to move the studs as they might hang out too far as the spacers are 1.5 inches or 2 inches. If they are just too wide i might keep glassing till they fit or sell them for a set of 9.5s with spacers dunno till i start experimenting.

Not many wide wheels made 5 x 100 most are only 7-8 inches. I have seen some TORK brand available in USA 8 and 9.5 inches wide for those looking for staggered direct bolt on. available on ebay around $800

If you guys want to change the bolt pattern without wheel adapters, give Lee at HT Motorsports a call (formerly Held, Ryane). He makes custom hubs in any pattern you need. If you have an '84-87 you'll also need to use his lowering spindles on the front. I'm using massive 18x13 rear and 18x8.5 front Lamborghini Murcielago wheels on a Fiero chassis with no adapters. The cheapest quotes I got for custom wheels this size were in the $3000-4000 range. The Compomotives are a bit cheaper, but they don't have anything I like. I decided to go with the stock Lamborghini wheels for about the same cost, actually quite a bit less considering they came with Pzeros mounted.
For custom made wheels check out Budnik and Boze, they have some nice stuff at the lower end of the price range. HRE will also make wheels to spec.
