If you decide to go 9j, +25 is about as high as offset you can go to clear most coilovers. If you go 10j, it gets iffy there since you have even less tolerance to clear the suspension, the wheel-well and the fenders, specially on the smaller amount of space under an S13. Personal recommendation would be about 9j +20 or +15 ish for S13 fronts.

Debating between 215 or 225...I get a good deal on Continentals, but price isn't a huge deal. Cheaper would be good, that way I can buy something super meaty and sticky on my other wheels for track events.
I like dz101's, nt05's kinda suck, invos aren't bad either but they didn't last long at all

Star Specs!!! Those are the only tires I run for my fronts. Just not sure if you're willing to spend that much loot on tires.
I'm running these new Generals for my rear and so far they're pretty good for All-Season tires. They're called G-Max AS03, its they're replacement for the UHPs and traction has been consistent and predictable.
Only issue you'll have is finding the correct size.

Actually, now that I'm looking at Tirerack, I've heard nothing but good things about Hankook RS-3 or the V12s as far as bang for the buck.
