you will need 15mm spacers to make fitment aggressive


that fitment will probably not clear with coilovers, and will look bad too

apparently the "GTR-drift range" is the same wheel as the P45R in europe.

so if you haven't bought the wheels yet they are available in a +12 offset. (no special group buy or anything)

when i was at the rota UK site, i kinda loled at the URL.

my prob is i got the 4 hole version, dont wanna swap to 5 lug

they got the rota in 18x9,5 with et 30 and et 20

so the et 20 is maybe better?

Yeah the lower the offset the better.

you would need a spacer to bring it out to about +20 to clear coilovers anyways.

Also, the farther away from Rotas (and other similarly shitty wheels), the better.

i talked to a dude from england, he told me in front 8,5x18 et 30 and rear 9,5 et 30 should fit quite good

what do you say to that?
for the rear maybe et 20 better?

i have the nismo lmgt4s on my s13. the rear 18x9.5 +30 fits fine. no major camber here. i need my traction.

for the front you're prolly going to need some spacers and alot of camber.

so for the front maybe et20?

There is less room in the front between the wheel and suspension than there is in the rear.

I would suggest +20mm in the front (or +20mm front and rear).

I have 18x9 +12mm on the front of my s13 and I love the fitment. For some it may be too aggressive, for others, it isn't aggressive enough.

You may still need spacers to clear the 9.5" wide +20mm wheel in the front.

so maybe

front: 18x8,5 et 20
rear: 18x9,5 et20

front and rear 225/35

You can run 18x9 in the front with 20 offset no problem.

You might have rubbing issues on the front of your wheel wells because of size though.

Don't go lower than 9" width on 18's, or even 17's, it looks too narrow, just get 18x9.5 +20 all around.

18x9.5 +20 is going to hit the coilovers on the front.

highest offset you can fit upfront on a 9.5 is +15. even then you're going to have less than 2mm clearance.

might as well get the +12s, its only 8mm less fender clearance but it will look way better. pulling your fenders is not hard, and may not even be necessary if you get smaller tires.

the 3mm difference between +15 and +12 makes a difference up front in regards to fender clearance. if you decide to go +12, run 215/40/18 or smaller.

I have no more than a finger space of clearance tire to fender with my 18x9.5 +15's up front on hammered to hell fenders and and the wheel pokes at least 10mm.
