ok im looking fro pics of an s13 hatch or coupe,it doesnt really matter with 17x9 wheels with a +15mm offset. I would prefer ones with multiple angles and such to see how they sit on the car. I wont be buying wheels right away but i want to know how much im gonna look at in the future.

YOU DID NOT JUST ASK THAT

nitekids will be all over this thread shortly...


i have some at home on my car. ill find those pisc and post later

you need AT LEAST -3 camber, stretched tires and rolled fenders for s13.
rear can fit w/ -2.5 or -2.75 but barely. rolled fenders are REQUIRED if yoru car is lowered

nite kids can come all over it because i asked for pics of an s13, not an s14, what is the maximum width i could go and offset specs i guess to get wheels to sit on an s13 soupe to sit like the 17x9s on nite kids??

how would 17x8 gram lights 57pro with a 25mm offset sit on an s13, according to the rays website it owuld clear z brakes but i dont know about coilovers, could someone help me on this one

57 pro? I would co with more like a 20 IMO. And from what I know if it clears Z brakes it will clear coilovers

speaking of offsets for s13.

can anyone give me comments on this set up on tein type flex coilovers and stock width fenders/rear quarterpanels?

Front
5zigen typhoons 17x8 5x114.3 +35

Rear
5zigen typhoons 17x9 5x114.3 +35

i wanted +27 as this is the lowest offset that these wheels come in, but my supplier has a set of +35 in stock. will these fit and clear stock fenders/rear quarter panels. i know stock alloys are +40 offset, but these wheels are wider than stock. im not too concerned about the fronts, but the rear is 9 inches wide! with +35 offset. i know, of course, i can always use a 5mm or even 10mm spacer, but being 9 inches wide, therse no where for the wheels to go unless i roll my fenders. im trying to put these wheels on w/o rolling fenders or getting fender flares/wide rear fenders.

Your fronts wont clear coilovers. Hold off for a short while, there will be a group buy on some low offset wide wheels. I think you may be disappointed if you are impatient and get those, then by the time you are getting them on, you could have a killer price on some better ones....

wow. thanks for the info.. do you know if the rears will fit? i probably should hold off though, since they wont clear coilovers. it could fit w/ spacers right? but then again, my fenders are stock so spacing them out would probably not be that great unless i get some small spacers like 5mm.

what kinda gb is coming? will it be for 5zigen typhoons? who's going to host it? i want more info :)

brianglawson: the 17x8.5 +25 will look the best out of all the wheels you listed but still not great. for the average joe they'll be fine tho.

PUT YOUR LIL FRIEND AWAY.. OR ELSE :axe:


oh wait, search function heh :D n/m

2 ways 17x9 + 15 will clear.

If you had coilovers and started raising your car up past stock height...

or if you had some negative camber (about 3 deg front, 2.5 deg rear).


otherwise you will notice your parts of your electrical system malfunctioning and your hood latch cable shooting out of your fender (this was what happened with the Speed Alliance S14) .
