Off set question on a s13... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

18x8.5 +30 Front
18x9.5 +20 Rear
Would these sizes be to aggressive for a s13??
If I went with this set up, would I have to roll and pull the fenders??
Thanks...

no it's not aggressive maybe the 9.5 but not the 8.5 what type of wheels are they

SSMini · 10-24-2007, 04:42 PM

There Gramlites. Im worried that they will stick out way to much in the rear. 8x9.5 +20 in the rear. If any body has a pic of this off set they can post, that would be GREAT.
Thanks...

+20 is pretty flush those offsets are very conservitave no need to do any extra work to make them fit....

edit there 18's mabey a slight roll...

ps check out the pic thread theres a lot of guys that run close to these sizes.

This thread is full of "aggressive" fitments.

Look through and decide which is the least aggressive and will work for you.

I'm personally running 18x10 +35mm right now on the rear, and it's not even close to aggressive. It required a small pull for my set-up, but that's still not aggressive.

Others will say my fitment is no where close to aggressive, because I don't need to run heavy negative camber for them to fit. It's all a personal preference thing.

I dont mind if I have to roll the fender, but really dont want to have to pull the fender. I like the flush look. The rear tires are 255-35-18. Fronts are 225-40-18

Just wanted to thank you guys for your help. I was originally shopping around for the Rota D2's...7.5 Front's and 8.5 Rear's, but ended up picking up these. (I hope I made the right decision.) Gram Light, Model 57f. Now I have to find some center caps that would fit. Any suggestions?? Really don't want to pay $125.00 for center caps...

Never did find a pic of a s13 with the same exact off set I will be using, but still looking. I will admit, I'm still a little nervous about the off set. I hope in the end it will work out. I would hate to think I bought these wheels and tires and cant run them. (To my liking.) I hope the worse case would be that I would have to do a little pull on the rear. I hope the front will fit with very little to no modifications. If one of you know alot about wheels and Tires, what would have been the average price these wheels and tires have sold for? Just checking to see what kind of deal I got on them.

Again, thanks for your help....
Here is a pic of the wheels and tires:

Wheels: Rays Eng. Gram Lights 57F.

Fronts: 18x8.5 +30 Off Set
Tires: Dunlop 225/40/18's

Rears:18x9.5 +20 Off Set
Tires: Dunlop 255/35/18's

you gotta take centercaps off at a lot of racetracks.

i never bought any for my volks.

i like the look of wheels without centercaps, but thats just me.
i never got em on any of my wheels

SSMini · 10-27-2007, 04:01 PM

I guess Im old school.

Wheels without center caps look like they were stollen or fell off. *LOL*

**S13SilviaGirl** · 10-27-2007, 04:40 PM

They will fit fine. Not aggressive at all.

Look at the thread Barry posted up...they have aggressive wheels.

17x9 0 offset
215/40/17
about -3 camber
20mm wide fenders

rear is
18x10.5+15 245/40/18
+3mm spacer
30mm wide rears
camber is about -2

This is close to what you are asking about...and kinda what it would look like:

set of R34 GTR RIMS 18x9 +30 5x114.3
