Quote (240sxislander @ May 28 2002,02:52)</td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">OK, forget about the 18's in the rear, I'll just go with 17's. But, could I be able to stuff at least 9's or 9.5's for the rear? I'm not planning on going circle track or something. It's mainly just for looks so when they see it from the rear, they would see that the rims I have are wide. Also, if so, could you guys help me out with backspacing? I seen around when people post for rim sizes they tell them +30-+40 or something like it. I don't know what that means. All I know is from backspacing is like 4.5" or so.So could you fill me in on what this means?
(+30-+45)?</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
A) If you're buying rims for looks alone, go buy a honda.
B) If you slap on a set of 9's (assuming they will even fit w/out mod to wells) your car will be USELESS in the wet, and slower everywhere else. Basically w/ rims that size (unless u get VERY light rims) you will waste more power trying to turn them; but if you don't care about handling or power then refer to "A"</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
god, I hate people like you that dont know jack but talk like a tightass
A) so you saying Nissan's ugly? you're stupid.
B) to fit wider wheels, it's the shock/strute/spring that matters, since it sits in FRONT OF THE wheel well.. what a dumbass.. Wasting power with heavy rims?? Do you speak from experience or did you get that outta ya ass? Seriously, if you never had a big rim on, dont talk. couple guys on this forum running 18's didn't feel the big wheelies slowed them down... refer to "A" <--- dont act too hard there my man..
Now back to the newbie question (i've done extensive research, take my word):
for s13, you should get 17's all around. Running 18's means to get low low profile tires and that means rough ride comfort. Unless you get a body kit, 18 would look too big.
To lower the car more then 1.5 inches, Biggest rims can fit is 17x7 +30 in front and 17x8.5 +32 in rear. +## is offset..
