Well there is a CHANCE that I might be getting rid of the Gram Lights and going for a little something different for myself. Feel like if I do get rid of them I'll spend the extra $$$ to go a bit wider and forged wheels.

I have a S13 hatch and am thinking about getting some GT-C's (which are now available in 4lug) that are 17x9 +21 Fenders are going to be rolled soon. My only real concern is should I be able to make these fit. I know that by adjusting camber it helps, BUT I have World Sports and you have to use the stock mounts, so the whole "just add more camber" really doesnt work for me.

I was thinking about running a 235/40/17 setup probably all the way around.

Let me know what you guys think

I think... you won't be able to fit these unless you get adjustable RUCAs and front camber plates OR front adjustable LCA. :d 17*9+21 and 235/45/17 = most likely no fitty. You'll definitely need rolled fenders AND negative camber.

well

... I might not do that then, might just wait until I have more money to put into it. Might just keep the gram lights and keep saving, then upgrade in the future. I guess it was just wishful thinking for now.

Thank you for your input adey.

it will fit with some neg camber. you wont ened RUKAAAAAZZZ because you can still juice a lot out of the stock arms and with a lowered car, it is already is some camber due to it.

235/40 will fit fine on a 9"

fronts you'll need camber plates which WS cant do. sooo. HMM your screwed

If I drop down to 17x8 in the front could it work? Possible offsets are +9, 15, 21, 28, 34, and 40

possible offsets on 17x9 are +21, 28, 34, 40 and 46

So if any of those would be better suited it would be great for some more help.

Thanks,
Kyle.

8"
+21 will look best, imho
+28 will clear coilovers
+21 will clear for sure coilovers and no worries

9" +28 would be 'safest'.
that's 2mm less then R33 GTR offset/size.

with little camber (under -2) and on stock fenders, that's a pretty good setup!

SittinOnDubsWGW · 01-30-2004, 01:55 PM

so with setup of 17x8 +21 F 17x9 +28 R

I should be good w/ rolling fenders and with whatever camber I can get from lowering it?

go with like a 235/40/17 rear and 215/40/17 front for tire setup.

If this all works, it very well could be my next setup.
