Wheel Fitment Question Thread

[koyv90]

Okay So i have an s13 and it does not have coils i will plan to get some and drop it a inch or maybe a little more. This is my dd. I do not want it slammed to the floor or hella flushed. I want it to the rim to be flush with the fender however. I was thinking 17x8 or 17x8.5 or 17x9. I don't want staggered rims or anything really( i heard it does not matter for performance and is a look thing). What offsets should i be getting to clear brakes and coilovers? I would rather not have to roll my fenders.

Also id prefer a none sunken in look


The front rim here is perfect but the rear one is sunken in and has a concaved look(guessing due to negative camber).

I dont know lots really cause ive searched and get random answers like people said +35 offsets and stuff are gay honda ones and bad for RWD cars and then others say they are good and work on s13s perfect with no modification and then i see others wanting like +20 or +10 offsets. I do get how it creates rubbing but dont know enough about the s13 chassis.

Thanks for the answers in advance sorry if my question is dumb.

I was wondering if this ride height (exactly) was achievable on TEIN's; more specifically Super Drifts or Mono Flex...

Edit: just found the article to find out they're on TEIN's.

Would 5mm spacers up front cause rubbing issues?

It should be right where the fender will be unless you manage to add some more negative camber up front.

I'd really rather not if I can avoid it.

18's all around for S13 can really only be pulled off if you have aero. 225/40 all around will work. Assuming that you want a functional alignment, yes, you will have work with your fenders and run some negative camber. For the rears, you will need a pull. The fronts you will have to hammer the inner fender & depending on your camber settings, you will need to hammer those lips.

Should have gone with 17's. It requires less work to make them look good. Trade a pair for 17's if you have to.

Is this for me? should work with fender work?

Lol, no. I quoted somebody else's post for a reason. I answered THEIR question.

You already answered your own question & are one search away from finding out if 18x10 +30 fits in the rear.

My fault, i dunno how i read your quoted comment wrong.
