special order wheels, need help.

[DUDEIDONTHAVEA240]

i have a 89 s13 coupe and want to special order 4 lug Gram Lights 17X8.5 (or maybe 17X8) fronts 17X10 rear. i want the car real low and FLUSH i know to roll fenders but i dont want to pull. what offset should i go for?
is my size okay and will it clear coilovers?

here is a picture of what kind of flushness i want on my coupe. i searched the offsets for this car and couldnt find it, i also search two 240 forums with no luck. thanks in advance.

why stagger? mild camber, no pull i'd choose something like x8 +3-13 offset~, x9 +15-25~ offset, x10 +28-38 offset. of course you could go lower offset but that would depend on what tire sizes you want to fit. but flush as in parallel to the fenders? you could go higher offset with lesser camber.


oh yeah with 4 lug... haha you won't find these sizes besides on the shizigen fn, grenade gx01, maybe some of the new volk racing and a few others.

um you haven't searched hard enough... there's a wheel fitment thread up there somewhere. and wherever you found that picture. that stripped white coupe just copy his sizes if you like... i'm pretty sure that car is 5 lug converted

^ what he said is a good baseline

i would just run 17x9+15 or around there all around

makes no sense to stagger a 8.5/10 on what i assume is still a SOHC. also, low offsets dont exist on 4x114.3 volk/rays stuff. gotta go with grenades or special FN01rc.

even if you run a 10 out back and are getting a SR later, you could still slap the same tire (like a 235) on the 9's and have the same contact patch

also, waiting for a 4 lug gram light wont be fun. trust me on that one. get something IN STOCK, it saves you a lot of unnecessary anticipation and anxiety.

^ i think dude up there (estevan?) was running a 17x8.5 or 9.5 i cant remember

i have an sr already. like i said im not looking for the wheels to be in stock i am special ordering them. one reason i am ordering them is because it lets me put a deposit and give me some time to save up the rest when it comes in. i dont expect them to be on the car for another 4 months. just gathering things right now.
if anything i will probably convert to five lug and get a lower offset. i really like how that white coupe sits and hopefully mine will fit the same

4 lug gram lights dont give you free offsets, its all standard +25/+35 kinda stuff.

nah man, special order is always half down half on arrival, unless the shop aint gots no cash flow. in that case, you might as well not order from them.
