MAX TIRE SIZE AND RIM recomended

Was in the market for some rims, Just curious what size rims would be suitable for S13? Dont want to get anything too big that will affect my steering or handling.

Depends if it has been lowered. If it has I would not go bigger than a 18". A17 or 18 will look good.

If it is stock height I would get a set of sportmax 002's I think they come in 0 offset.

Everyone has there own taste though.

You could look at the huge wheel fittment thread also.

I think the best all around setup is 17x9 +20 with 245-40-17s all around... or 235-40-17s if you prefer...

for maximum wheel size (un-staggered setup) with jackpot fitment on s13,

18x9.5 +15

+15, because any higher offset and you'll hit the coilover.

to go low & flush, you must do a few other things.

stretch tires, 225/40/18 is key.
flatten fender lips
hammer a few spots inside the front wheel well for clearance.

ace fitment.

although, this setup isn't for everyone.. this is the max tire and wheel size for s13.

if you want something that is less extreme, 17x9 +15 with 225's

Safe: 17x9 +15 F+R Barely clears coilovers, flush on stock body with like no camber.

Brave:
17x9 0 Front
18x10 0 Rear
Camber, fenders, spacers, fitment, stretch tires, low, sitting on tire.

Gangster:
18x9.5 +12 Front
18x10 +0 Rear
Same as above but add some strengthened tie rods and ends, steering rack bushings and new rack, fenders, 35 series tires, stretched more, lower.

You have too much money:
18x10 +15 Front, lightweight forged wheels
18x11 +10 Rear, lightweight forged wheels

Same as above. Wide fenders rear.
