18x10 in wheels in the rear, 18x9 or 10 in the front

I own an s13 coupe and I'm looking to get new wheels. I want to go 18x9 or 10 in the front and 18x10 in the rear. The car sits on coilovers and my fenders are rolled flat in the front and I flaired the rear quarter a good bit. I just want to know what kind of offset I would need to run on both the front and rear factoring in that ill be running big brakes up front soon and I would also like to know what tire size I should run. I'd like the tires to be on the meatier side at least 40s. I also want to run close to zero camber in the rear, I don't mind a little camber in the front. Thanks!

Will 18x9.5 +20 Offset fit my s13 hatch that I am lowering on racelands? And what size tire should i go with? I am willing to roll fenders but I don't really want camber or spacers

In most cases, 9.5+20 will not fit with coilovers unless you're using a spacer or Megan's extended brackets. Your tire size depends on if you want maximum rubber or stretched tires...

That should work. But I'd rather go look for a 18x9.5+12 or lower offset since you're already planning on stretching tires.

225/40 seems real popular. Check www.rimtuck.com & see what setup you like best.

Holee fuq... you must be joking with those sizes. Why don't you just copy the specs? It's right there in the article, genius.

I have a 96 Nissan 240sx and I want to go negative camber, I want to know what's the biggest and widest wheels I can install on my car without having to get wheel tubs in the front and rear of my car. If someone could please let me know or help out what is all needed to do this, coilovers, camber kit, etc. Thank you.

7.5 and 8.5 will both fit like ass. Like someone else posted, you failed to see that the picture you quoted has the wheel specs posted on the same page where you saw the picture...

Do 9j/9.5 with 215 fronts, 9.5j/10j with 225 rears if stock body.

If widebody, 10's an 11's or something. 225 front 235 rear. 40's.

Don't do 10.5 all around. There's no point and it's somewhat difficult to fit 10.5 up front depending on what you're willing to do or what your settings are.

I wouldn't go more than 9.5 up front, maybe 10 if you really want. For the rear, 10.5j with a 225/40 with like ~4* of negative camber, unless you pull it a little you could run less camber. Get toe rods if you don't have them. Then a 9.5 up front with 215/40 will be perfect. Unless you are planning on running a grip setup or something, then it will be completely different.

17x9+12. The rest have offsets not likely to clear coilovers without a spacer despite being a bit narrow. Even z33 anniversary wheels, which are 8+33 need spacers to clear coils.

What would a (mb battles) 17x9.5 +15 (15mm or 30mm spacer) on 215/40/17 maybe 2-5 degrees camber with 50mm over fenders on a 240sx look like?

OK, lets start with suspension:
You're going to need the big heavy SPL control arm kit, that will run around $2500~

You'll need some good coil overs, don;t forget drift tax now, so a set of Apexi(bruh, mad tite JDM, you) will run you another $2500~

Wheels. Work S1R's, 0 Disc, 18x10 +5 with stretched 245 35's, those will run you around, yeah, another $6,000~

All these parts are legit as fuck, serious hard core shit. You want to get your car set up nice, on the cheap?

Get Isis/Godspeed Project/Circuit Sports/Megan Version 2 control arm kit, around $500~
Same brands, Coil over's will set you back $1000~ for the ones with camber plates
Wheels, go look at some Square G33's, G35's in 17x9 +15 with 225-45's
You'll be able to align it, adjust it where you want so you camber wear your tires in 8,000 miles or so, and have a decent amount of drop with a minor fender roll, enough drop to win the IA Limbo event for non Miata cars

You'll probably need a header(OBX-R, Hotshot, DC, Megan...), a cat back exhaust, upgraded tune, intake, oh, and a full set of Spider tails, a d-max hood, and HID's too

When you get done building my car, bring it on down to me

Posted this a few pages back, thoughts? Going on an s13 hatch.

i'm looking at a set of equips, need some info on fitment. they are 17x9.5+0 up front and 17x10.5 +7 in the back. i already have my fenders hammered flat up front and back. also have a slight pull in the rear since i'm running 17x9.5+15 battles all around.

question is, will it fit without running a stupid amount of camber? i'm low but not super slammed, just enough to get rid of wheel gap.i have Z32 brakes up front and stance super sport + coils so any info would be great.
