He would need a pretty decent pull to fit a 285 on a 10.5 +22 on an S13. I'm running 18x11 +30 on a 285/30/18 and it's absolutely perfect. That's with -2.75 degrees of camber, about a 25mm pull and I'm fairly low. Mojos13 If you want to be low at all you will also need wide front fenders to fit a 245 on an S13. Not to mention you will need to modify the upper wheel housing lip, back wheel housing lip and relocate the drivers side chassis harness. Otherwise a 245 will rub on all of those while at full lock.

My rear fitment and pull for reference... this is probably exactly what you are looking for:







Front fitment: 18x9.5 +12 with a 245/35/18 with -2.5 degrees of camber and 20mm wide fenders:





Let me know if you need any other pictures to check out.

Note: with an 11" +30 I had to modify the upper wheel housing, and notch the OEM lower control arm. So you may want to roughly stick to the size that JDM SPUG mentioned... a 10.5" in the +24 range or a 10" +17 range.

You can also go here if you want to see some of the different size setups I have had over the years. Let me know if you need additional close-up fitment pics of any of those setups.
