I'm sure this has been beaten around alot, and yes.. i searched extensivly... here's my question..

I have a set of 17x8 (F) and 17x9(R) Enkei RP01's on my Silvia. I currently have 225/50's all around. I don't like it.. this is how i got it. How would the car look if i add these:

215/45/17 in the front
225/40/17 in th rear

Maybe a pic? thanks!

Im running pretty much the same sizes are your rims on my zenki. Im running 225/45 up front and 245/40 rears.

This what they pretty much look like on the car...

Those sizes absolutely has no stretch, basically dead square with the rims.

I have the same tire set up dont run the 215/45's up front if you have a s13 and plan on going low. use a 215/40 on the front with the 225's your going to have a minor stretch

18x8f 215/45 and 18x9r 225/40 pzero's

Nice.. the tires i have now are to big, atleast i think.. i want to stretch them out just a bit.

DP_Michelle G · 05-31-2007, 01:26 PM

if you want a stretch use a 205 in the front and a 215 on the rear.

whats? the offset on the wheels?

I don't really know the offset, they came with the car when i got it. I know its running 5mm spacers in the back and about 20mm in the front.
