So ive been going thru the What Spec Wheels Does Everyone Have? thread to see if the wheels i want might be on there. Ive found some close ones but not the exact wheel. However i have found good information. What im able to get is that in order for the wheels i want to clear they need to +30 offset for the front and +30 for the back.

Wheels in question measure as follows
F= 17x8.5 +20
R= 17x10 +30
they are a meshie bbs style knock off

So what im gathering from the information ive read is the back should be ok to clear the coil overs and caliper but the front ill need a 10mm spacer to clear the calipers.

Please give me advice on if this is right or wrong.

wheel design is what really matters.

Hell stock S13 SE wheels can clear Z32 brakes if you get the right ones (there are two designs, one that clear and one that don't).

it depends on the inner/inboard (towards the engine) side of the wheel. not the exterior.

but just by looking at that wheel, it doesnt appear that itll fit. could be wrong, because again like i said its the inner wheel design that truly matters.

Yeah the more i keep reading and looking at the similar in the other thread im thinking these just arent going to cut it.
