It doesn't matter if it fits, it's hideous.

Yes they fit, almost any wheel you want to put on your car will fit even if it means using spacers. Do some searching a billion trillion of these threads are made a day.

i know you can fit 19x12's to any car, but what im asking if it will fit an s13 with stock fenders(rolled) and coilovers, if they dont fit then i wont buy them, so, ive searched, and they dont indicate if they have coilovers, and dont have 9inch width and +15 offset on an s13.

thanks for the reply though,

The picture doesn't work, so I can't tell what they look like. 18x9 +15 will clear coilovers, but if it'll clear brakes depends on the inside spoke design.

It'll fit. :ugh:
It'll make women run screaming and babies cry, but it'll fit. :ugh:
You'll never get laid or be successful, but they'll fit. :ugh:

I look at the idea of using those wheels like I do the idea of having sex with livestock. :ugh: :barf:
Sure, you could do it, and it'd sorta work, but you wouldn't ever want that fact to come to light. :barf:

Maybe if that centercap was taken off... :ughd:
and the face design was changed... :ughd:
and it wasn't made by Rota... :ugh: :ugh: :ugh: :ugh: :ugh:

That's a hell of a centercap


But 18x9 +15 will fit fine in general on a stock body car...

is it me, or did you just want to find a wheel with a dish for super cheap, so you opted for the Rota truck series?

yup, s13's were never sold in the ph. got this 2nd hand from an importer.

good wheels are hard to come by here in the philippines, so i was just looking at my options.

whats wrong with rota? if i may ask.

all the other silvias here use them, theyre cheap, easy to replace, strong enough, you can buy 2 or even 3 sets for the price of 1 set of work wheels. chances are you wouldnt break your rota wheel anyway. unless u drive crazy.

im just looking at my options, the one above is just to be diffrent, i guess the offset is too low. heres another wheel im looking at, theyre rota's. they look good to me.

I really don't think its the offset is too low, i think people are gettin at the width/style, aren't rotas made in the Philippines?

well.. theres another option 18x8.5 +25 or +30, is it easier to fit wheels with these specs?

yup they're made here. cant beat the price really, thats why most silvia guys here buy them.

dude heres a good rule to live by, if the wheel is above a 15 the width should be at least or more than half the diameter, ex. 17x9, 18x9.5. 18x8.5's are gonna look goofy, but they should fit.

laxplaya, sorry, what do you mean?

yeah, by goofy im guessing u mean that they are too tall and too narrow? if im going to get 18x9.5's for the front i have to extend my fenders to avoid rubbing.
theres no issue with the 18x9.5's at the rear though
