(wheel fitment q's)

[DRO916]

simple question needin simple answer, for s13:

16x7 +32
16x8 +32

how will that look? flush? or too tucked in; needing spacers? clear suspension?

also, ideal tire sizing for those sizes, w/o rolling or pulling any fenders please

thanks all

not flush will need about 30mm spacer in front and about 20mm in back

[TheTimanator]

too tucked in IMO.

16x8 +22 all around would be much better! (but still not flush to some)

true but he doesn't want to roll his fenders.

i take it your asking about the advan sa3 wheels, since youve got a post asking for pictures, and thats the most common size for that set of wheels, they will need spacers, 20 mm all around would be decent, i run the 16x8 advans on my car with a 15 mm spacer, its still not enough,

why with he need spacers, it should fit just fine. ive got 7j+35 and 8j +35 and its perfectly flush

yeah, they fit but are definately not flush especially the front. you must have a weird definition of flush...

[cdlong]

everyone's definition of flush is different, i personally think this is perfect, (17x8 +35, 30mm past stock)

but this is too much (17x8.5 +25, 47mm past stock)

and this looks rediculous (15x7.5 +17 with a 30mm spacer i think, 72mm past stock)

but i'm sure there are a bunch of people on here that disagree, especially dousan since that is his car in the last pic. and i have a friend that thinks the stock wheels look perfectly fine. it's all taste, just find some pics of a simliar set up and see if you like it.

also, when you ask questions like that, make sure you specify what suspension and brakes you have/want.

for reference, the sizes you asked about are 21 and 33mm past stock

thats exactly what i have, it looks exactly the same "flushiness" so wtf timantor

[DRO916]

thanks for the input, sounds like 15-20 mil spacers would be ideal...

bah, a little negative camber and it's not gonna be flush anymore. Also, he's got pretty big tires on there, 235's.

8" wide with a +35 offset isn't bad up FRONT (gotta be careful with tire sizes though) but the rear could use something wider or lower offset. A 7" wide rim offset should really be in the teens IMO. I'm very happy with my 15x7 +17 all around although the next set (hopefully) will be wider.....

I'll have to disagree with this one. I believe that picture was taken before alignment or ride height change so it's a little out of whack.

Here's the same wheel in the same size and offset with -1 degree camber

Personally I don't think it's flush enough.

that would look very nice! 205's up front and 215's out back IMO
