no...take maybe 15-20mm off of that and it'll be flush

wth you talkin about bro?

8.5 +27 is just about flush on 1.5 camber in the rear

9 +35 will be fine if you dont dial in crazy jdm negative camber

Well this is my daily driver. I'm running the TEIN S-Techs with stock shocks. I'm just trying to get a round about. So, anyone else? Will 17x9 ET: 35 sit flush at all? Or, how close will it be? Also, what tires do I need? I don't want anything meaty. Like I said... daily driver. Hmmmm 225/50/17??? Or 225/45/17??? Keep in mind the S-Techs are only 1.5 in the front and 1.2 in the back. I want the fender right on top of the tire... so I'm thinking a 50 series.

you must have really wide tires if those 8.5's are flush with +27. 17x9+20 is pretty good size for S13, some people like 5mm spacer in rear.

ok guys.... lets back up for a minute. I'm not going to coilovers. I'm no slammed. I have TEIN S-Tech's..... 1.5 front and 1.2 rear. i'll get a picture of the car today and post so you can see. I'm not looking for super flush. I just don't want "sunken wheel syndrome" lol.

Here's a picture of the wheels on a S14... and if they look like this on a S14. I'm sure they will look good on my S13.

Holy fender well gap batman!
