Ok, excuse a total noob question, I've only had my S13 for about 6 months now.

So right now I'm on 4lugs with 235/40/17s all around. rims are 17x8 +9. I had my fenders pulled a bit so that it wouldn't rub in the back. front at -2.5* and back at -3.5* (running camber in the back at -3.5* due to inability to lower it to -2.5* need to buy control arms to lock it on, cause stock bushings are worn out).

im on silk road coilovers if you needed to know that lol.

I'm looking to do the 5 lug swap and I'm wondering, do most people run 18" rims or 17" or 17 up front with 18s in the back.

Anyway I don't know how much offset I should look into getting if I want a pretty flush look. I plan on getting z32 brakes for now and maybe a bigger brake kit when I have the money. Also my front end is kinda jacked so I may get overfenders from origin all around since I'll be replacing the front fenders anyway.

So what would a good wheel size and offset be to allow clearance for bigger brakes and look flush? I'll probably want to run 245s up front and maybe 255s in the back.
