Does anyone know if the 5zigen fn01r-c in 17x8 +35 with 215/45/17 tires would fit the front of an s13 without the use of spacers or rolling the fenders? 5zigen recomends using 17x7 up front but i would like sumthing a lil wider. Right now the suspension is stock but will soon be dropped with kyb shocks and eibach pro kit springs (don't want much of a drop). I've been searching different forums for the past few hours but can't seem to find any exact answers. Please help!!!

why the heck would u put 215's on a 17x8...thats just wasting the rim, might not even fit. If u put 235's in the front with 17x8 i understand, but 215's on the 17x7...thats retarded.
btw i have 17x7 215, rears 17x8 235's ... dont get bronze damnit

actually it should have read "225/45/17". that's part of the wheel/tire package i'm thinking of getting. i don't think it'll be too streched.
btw, how flush are ur wheels with the fender? ... or do u use spacers?

i run a 17*7 +42 and a 10mm spacer, and 225-40-17 tires and i still have room for another 5 to 10mm of spacer
so thats like i have a 17*7 +32 225-40-17 and have room, so at +35 17*8 you should get by with like a 225 tire and be good? maybe youd have to roll your fender or run some extra camber, go to sport compact cars web site and see what they run, i think it is a 17 by 7.5 with a 225 tire, but i forget what offset...i d say the 17*8 +35 will be either really close or maybe a bit too wide

It should fit fine.
I'm running 17x8 +14 w/ a 215/45/17 sized tire up front on my S14 and it's all good. I don't think it's a waste of a rim, just because I have a big rim, doesn't mean I have to put a big tire.

HAHAHHAHA!! I have 215/40/17 on 17x9 +10 (30mm offset with 20mm spacer) in front and 215/45/17 on 17x9 +10 in rear. On s13 coupe. Sometimes 225/45/17 on my other 17x9s. Soon i should have 2 18x10 +15 for the rear, which will have 235/40/18 or maybe 225/40/18....
