I need your guess

What do you guys think the correct size for rim/tires on a s13 with 17" rims that would look like this car??

thanks for the help!  Are spacers needed??  I would like the width to be around 245 or 255, what should the offsets be?  

thanks a lot

Can't see the pics guy! You need to be more specific anyways- are you looking for a "flush look" or just a decent size for a normal budget? Wheels that are an irregular size can get REALLY expensive! If you're looking for a normal backspacing wheel and still wanna get that flush look, you'll need spacers, although I wouldn't suggest using them...
Tell us exactly what you're looking for, and we'll try to help!
Peace-
David.

hey luey whats up man........ ok wel 245's and 255's are out of the question they will stick out well beyond that and they wont have that round look........ &nbsp;u want something like 17x7.5 with a bout a 215/45/17 on them

[LanceS13]

bah...I know for a fact that 225's will fit and look good on 7.5&quot; rims.
235's will fit in the front...maaaybe 245's...but you'll have to get scientific with the offsets b/c clearances are gonna start to get tight.
It looks like the rears could take up to 255's before you might run in problems. Of course, as usual, correct offset is key when going this wide.

in terms of what COULD fit yah but he wants to have the look as those rims in the picture did.... so in that case he'd need a smaller width

well im sure with the right offset you could fit 9's in there <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> . &nbsp;i bet those are 8's maybe 8.5 because theyre not really deep dish. &nbsp;you could get an offset to make 7.5 look like that but id go for 8.5's in the back and say....7.5 in front. &nbsp;its good to get the tires offset in rwd cars. &nbsp;the back should have a little more traction than the front.

now thos r 225/40/18 on a 7'' rim
i think that the rims on the car that you posted r 8''+ but if you look close at the tire you see that it has been undersized to fit in the wheel well <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>
hope that helps you out alittle
