Hey guys, tried searching but did not find anything. I want to know what size spacer and what size tire i should run on my s13. The wheels im going to run are the 18' z33 6 spoke. My car is on Tein coils, i want the wheels to sit real low and flush. i know i might have to roll the fenders. Thanks in advance

spacers and tire size all depends on preference and what youre trying to do with the car. i dont think you really searched..

I think the ones you are referring to are something like an 18x8+30?

It's still a pretty broad question though, since each person's definition of "flush" is relative

But I'd say at least a 15-20mm bolt on spacer should do it

driftswift is correct though, there are a lot of resources to answer this question

Since in this case, 8 inch wheel inside clearance isn't really technically a big issue

So really its just matching up equal outer position to a wheel that you see

For example if someone posts up their S13 with 18x9+15 all around and you like how that looks in regards to outer position near the fender

Then type in 8 inch 30 offset into the wheel offset calculator (current)

Then type in 9 inch 15 offset into the wheel offset calculator (new)

Then you get the result "The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 28mm"

Which tells you that if you want to match up the same outer position, you need a 28mm spacer to achieve that same distance

Got it?
