this may be good for future reference to others but in this case its good to me now. does anybody know how how wide the fenderwells are on an s13? im asking because i want to know if certain wheels are going to fit and how big (if needed) a spacer im going to need to make it flush.
i looked around at tire calculators, wheel offset calculators etc. i got hlaf an answer from the offset calculator (in how much a wheel will be pushed outward with offset/width differences) but the other half i need is going to come in how wide the fenderwell is to begin with. for instance, i need to know that a wheel will be pushed outward say...42mm (with an 8.5 +30) but i also need to know if that 42mm is going to require fender rolling, neg. camber, or if its too much to bother.
this would be good for future reference as people like myself should not have to ask once again "will this wheel fit". they can check the offset calculator, then figure in how much outward the wheel will move. so does anybody know?
if youd simply rather answer my fitment question, im specifically looking at
-16x8+22
-16x8+30
-16x8.5+30
some of these offsets seem sucky, but this is all thats offered in 16" for this wheel (57S). id prefer the +22's or the 8.5's.these wont be staggered. and tires will be 205/50-215/50. i have FLTA2's and tie rods with no spacers. sorry for the long post.
