wheel question

[TheSparo]

ok ive got RSR race springs/KYB AGX combo im about to put on and wanting ot buy some wheels, ive got an SR w/ FMIC and MBC and full 3" exhaust, so i was wanting some decent meat for the rear, and im thinking of getting the FN01rc's but i think they only come in +35 for 4 lug, so i have a few questions

-which width should i get assuming the widest is what i want, but i think 8" is the widest i could go all around on an s13?
-should i stagger them? 17x8 front and 17x9 rear?
-i want a "flush" look, which i know 17x8's all around wont give me on +35 (unless im wrong?) so should i buy a spacer if i got these?
-and this is for a daily driver/ road handler, not a drifter (well not yet ;))

i would really appreciate it, and i have been searching, but nothiing came avail to this specific

thanks

i know someone knows

I have seen 8-8.5 in the front and 9-9.5 in the rear. I personally would stagger them, looks hot. I have +29 in the rear with a 9" and they stick out a little too much for my liking. 35-38mm should be fine. I have the same suspension combo as you but I added HKS camber plates.

[TheSparo]

hmmm how do you like the suspension? should i expect a nice ride? ;) haha thanks

What do you want to do with your car?

Do you know what staggering does?

If you have a wider rear tire, it means you have more grip in the rear, which means it cuts out oversteer

Running 4 equal tires means you have equal grip on all 4 corners

If you are purely into striaght line, you want traction in the rear to put down all your power, so you go fat meat in the back

If you auto X or track, you want to consider all 4 corners the same, depending on how you want car set up...

go w/ 17x9 +15 offset all around, you'll have to roll the fenders but it will look really clean. avoid using spacers....thats why you buy wheels so you can get them to fit good. :)

p.s. your going to need about 3degrees of camber to make it look good. and a 215or 225 tire.


PSI240SX, how do you have +29 in the rear and it sticks out too much. that is whack. you must have positive camber or something. and a +35,or38 on a 9inch wide wheel would be really sunkin in. (ghetto)

He said his wheels stuck out too much for his liking. Some people just have different tastes...

well i would but in my post i stated i have 4 lugs so finding that size is pretty rare, and i didnt think 9" would fit up front so i guess 8" all around would be best? (since i am foing for grip)

Are you set on 17s? You can get 4-lug 16x8.5 Kosei K1s from TireRack for pretty cheap...

[TheSparo]

really? how much? ive heard of the kosei's but you have to ask Luke about them correct? how much a piece? and what offsets? :hsdance:

shit man i can get the FN01R-C's for cheaper... but i will keep them in mind because they do come in nice offsets...
