17 x 9.5 on s13 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey guys, Im buying 17 x 9.5 inch wheels off someone locally. They have a +35 offset. The tires that are mounted are 225/45/17. The s13 is lowered 2" on lowering springs. Im wondering if they will fit, or will I need to pull the fenders?

Id say a roll would be enough with that offset

You will need spacers in the front with coilovers and those tires are super skinny.

9.5 +12 with stock suspension arms will just clear with a nicely done roll. Only issues you'll have is what silviaks said

+35 should be pretty flush with the fender if rolled, used to have 16x9 +25 on the front of mine and they baaaaareeeely poked, keep an eye on clearance in the back
...and to piggyback on silvaks2nr's post, a 245/40 tire on 9.5's would give the same spacing/fitment as those 225/45's.

Thanks for the advice guys. Just picked up the wheels and realized they have 215/45 on the rims lol

I think the problem youre going to run into is the wheel hitting the spring/strut assembly.

Terrible offset. Will probably need spacers and a roll.

Next time, check this before you buy:
