I am thinking about running my 15x8.5 -25's and I cant find a picture even close to that. I hate the idea of flairs on a S13. Anyone have any pictures of a stock bodied S13 w/ -15 to -25 offsets?

I am going to run either a 165/50/15 or 195/45/15 to help out as well. Thanks!

I know its there, no one posted a reply to my post.

also this thread is more or less for input and help as well.

I figured more people lurk through this forum then that thread.

Thanks though!

its in the wheel fitment whore thread.

a dude i've met before here in SA is running something similar to that. no need for flares. just do it. if people run 10+10 offset stock body you can do it.

Bit of roll, bit of pull.

I know it's tempting to post in general chat to get a quick response, but this community is so active and knowledgeable that we need to keep things in the proper threads- it makes it so much easier to find later for the next guy with 8.5s with a -25 offset if they're posted in the wheel fitment thread...

But yeah, count on a roll and a mild pull to get those sitting nicely- I was rolling 8s with a -12 and they were just barely flush... good luck!

should be no prob im throwing on 18x10 -8 this weekend and all im doing is a roll and pull theres a guy on the wheel whore thread (3rd to last page running something similar)

correct me if im wrong but 25mm is about an inch so running an 8.5 -25 would be the same as running a 9.5 +0... thats close to what im gonna run up front

but heres my car with 15x8's im not sure of the offset but i know its more than -15 if that helps.

Thanks! I just needed pictures. I have searched through the Wheel Whore Thread and the Stretched tire thread and didnt find anything really.

As far as 165/50/15, lol, you have to import them or sometimes Federal makes them. Found that out on VWVortex while trying to get a idea on tire size.

Onlinetire.com carries them.
