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..</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
I hope you're not a retarded as you sound, of COURSE larger rims require more energy to turn; it's simple physics. Do u even know why people run larger rims? Guess not.
Did i say Nissans are ugly? NO, i love my 240 but i'm not about to go spend $2k on rims just for appearance at the expense of performance.
And guess what buddy, fuggin' 3 yrs in engineering has taught me why a larger rim soaks up more energy, not your seat-of-your-pants dyno.
Tell u what dumb-ass, go finish the 3rd grade and come back w/ something more than childish insults.</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
Engineer huh.. big fucking deal..so is other half of the people here, including me. And I see a lot of dumb engineers in my school so you dont impress me like you impress your mother.
I sound retarded? how? where? You can call me anything you want but give me a reason plz. ok, I had my apexi dual on and I felt minimum gain in hp, maybe around 5 to 8 hp to be generous. If my friends can't even feel their heavier wheel, how much hp are those wheels rubbing away? neligible, like I said. Or rim inertia(reference to axis of rotation)*angular acceleration/5250(torque convert to hp)*4(4 rims) is insignificant, which ever you prefer.
So why else do people run larger rims? definitely for looks, what else?
I was being sarcastic about nissans being ugly, real quick on that one "buddy". The truth is, lotta people care about both looks and performance, who wouldn't want both.
Through all of my years of forum shit talking, I have never lost.
class dismissed</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
Holy shit, If you're an engineer and you don't know the BASICS of kinematics then some school fucked up letting you through, the truth? Your a wannabe 17 yr old.
Why do people run larger rims? You really are an idiot. Go back to your "extensive research" lol! Yeah, that's why almost EVERY high end car comes w/ larger rims, oh yeah JUST FOR LOOKS LOL! Hey, go tell BMW they fucked up!

Yeah, I bet you've been winning all these forum arguments, 'cause people get sick of argueing w/ trash like you.
BTW: Nice formula, what exactly is "rim inertia" do u mean moment of inertia? You really are an idiot....</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
high end? you mean F1 and drag cars right? Their tire profile is huge compare to their wheel size. BMW?? lol, real high performance, HKS 180sx will rip any BMW's out there a fuckin new twat. Low profile tires do help handling that's why big wheels are needs so low profile tires can be put on. NOT the other way around, big wheels do not affect performance as much as tires do because thinner sidewall reduces tire flex in high speed corning.
Kinematic? yeah, we're talkin about angular kinematic to be specific here and I know that well enough. thanks for the inertia correction tho, like it fuckin mattered..
I win arguments cuz I shut people up like I did to you
