s14gj · 09-03-2007, 10:26 AM

i want to do 17x10 5zigen fn's on my s13 (front and back)
i don't know what offset to use on the car. i have seen other s13 with 17x10
up front.

i have 30mm front fenders in the front and 50mm out back. i also have 25mm
project kick wheel spacers on back.

help me out.
thanks

+12 all around... -13 rear

... what size tires are you gonna run?

!Zar! · 09-03-2007, 11:19 AM

Don't be dumb. Go 17x9 +15 in the front and 17x10 +12. You will need a roller and a small pull. Depending on tire size.

Gjohnson7 · 09-03-2007, 12:01 PM

Not sure why you want 17 x 10 up front, but it's not my car. Have you checked out the wheel fittment thread. I would spend sometime looking at that thread and go from there.

Bushido · 09-03-2007, 06:33 PM

why would you go 17x9 up front if you have overfenders... you got nothing to worry about with 17x10 up front, fitment wise.
FN's look wack, but at least the 10's have cool concave spokes.

s14gj · 09-03-2007, 07:47 PM

just don't know if i should do +12 or +25 in front??

drifxtfx1 · 09-03-2007, 08:12 PM

+12 in front

You're more likely to kill your tierods when driving. Unless this car was made to sit and look pretty.

He could get a spacer to fill out the fenders if he wished. You don't gain tons of space up front anyways.

Better bust out the hammer.

s14gj · 09-04-2007, 11:40 AM

thanks for the info. guess i'll buy a pair of 17x10 +12 and try them.

unless he upgraded already right?

s14gj: what offsets are in those pics?

!Zar! · 09-04-2007, 12:14 PM

Upgraded his tierods? I would hope he would replace those busted ass stock pieces before trying to swing with such wide tires.

I was talking about aftermarket. Fuck oem.

Aftermarket ones will break eventually after rocking such wide tires in the front.

Bushido · 09-04-2007, 01:06 PM

s14gj,

you got 30mm overs, what are you worried about?
17x10+25 is going to be sunk as shit and hit the coilover.

17x10+12 add a 20-25mm spacer. stretch 225/40's
hammer the fender wells where the wheel rubs.
upgrade to peak pro outer/inner tie rods.

!Zar! is right about the wheel not being the ideal size, but you can make it work if you deem it worth the look of the concave spokes, i think its worth it. If you're going to rock FN's like everyone else, at least do it with style.

!Zar! · 09-04-2007, 01:11 PM

Does nobody listen when I say the tierods will break. Aftermarket or not.

Ugh I give up.

Bushido · 09-04-2007, 01:19 PM

gotta pay to play.

!Zar! · 09-04-2007, 01:32 PM

True. I'm all for that. But this isn't one of those cases imo.

But like I said. The OP prob won't even track the car so it's cool.

liv2drift045 · 09-04-2007, 01:34 PM

sorry to hear yours [tierods] busted !zar! as im assuming thats why you're so positive they will... i rocked this setup up front for a year or so no 2 different cars,(my sil-80 and my cefiro) one w/ after market ends/ one w/ stock...neither failed me..guess im just lucky

OP dont expect not to get some negativity when you post up questions like this... its advice...whether or not you choose to take heed is up to you...

is !zar! right that you MAY damage tie rods/ends rocking 10j's up front... possibly, but others on this site myself included have done it w/ no trouble

!Zar! · 09-04-2007, 01:37 PM

I'm not saying it's impossible.

Just that many people on this board have had issues with such large wheel.

I'm not against it 100% I'm putting 10j's on the front on another one of my cars.

amplifi3d · 09-04-2007, 02:19 PM

17x10 fns 20mm fenders front 50mm rear + 30mm kics spacer

a_ahmed · 09-04-2007, 02:39 PM

If I'm not mistaken Don from pdm racing runs 17x10 +12 5zigens with a spacer that gives him an effective offset of +4 + he hammered everything about which then let him fit a 275/40/17.

amplifi3d · 09-04-2007, 02:55 PM

Don't listen to everyone else in this thread. If your going to get FN's get the concave look. Don't be a god damn pussy. You dont need to hammer anything in your well to make them fit, just be sure to get a decent tire.

You also don't need tie rods, i drifted my car for a good 6 months with none and never had a problem. NO BROKEN TIE RODS. Unless your full locking all the time you wont have a problem.

TheSquidd · 09-04-2007, 03:18 PM

I actually agree with Mr. Neg Rep ^^ there.

You people are some straight up pussycats.

Rock 17x10 +12, and space to fit. Jack your car up, turn lock to lock, make sure there's no rubbing or binding of the tie rods, if there's binding add a bumpstop or upgrade your rods, if there's rubbing hammer it.

17x9 is soooo 2004.

vvtisupra · 09-04-2007, 03:20 PM

i ran 17X10 +12 with a 10 mm spacer in the front running 235/40/17 federals which are alil wider than your normal tire

a_ahmed · 09-04-2007, 03:49 PM

Remember bbtisupra, (at least from ur pix) u have an s14, fitting bigger wheels and tires up front on an s14 is easier than on s13...

Flybert · 09-04-2007, 05:05 PM

That guy zar doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. Run the 17x10's up front in +12 offset. You might need a small spacer to clear your coilovers. And don't worry about breaking tie rods unless you're drifting on stock s13 tie rods.
