Hi I'm hoping I'm posting in the right place! Ok guys, I need some help in rear wheel fitment. I want to run 17x10 wheels with 315/35/17 tires. Now, I know I will probably need to run overfenders, and I actually want to. So my question is, is what offset will I need to clear future coilovers, and fill the overfenders nicely? Also, how big will the overfenders need to be mm-wise? I don't want to run too much camber, but can if needed. Please don't ask why I need such a wide tire haha! Oh! And I DID search, but couldn't find but one guy that has ran a 315 tire on an s13, and he didn't have overfenders, which I want. New to the 240 scene, coming from Hondas so please please don't flame me! Thanks guys

Anyone? I know it's possible to get the look I want, hell I've seen 335s on this chassis before. I just need a little guidance and I want to get it right the first time

I did look at that thread and there was only one person with an s13 that was running 315s and he didn't have overfenders. Thank you for your reply though

you're gonna need over fenders. I'd say 50mm at the least (also somewhat a common over fender size). Another member named Broadfield was able to do 17x10 +45 w/ 275's on stock fenders, but all coilovers are different when it comes to fitment, but just to give you an idea.

Ok... So 50 mm over fenders, got it. What sort of offset would I need to fill the fenders? Thank you for your information

Obviously I'm not 240-wheel savvy or even wheel savvy period, so I'm gonna take a shot in the dark.. If broadfield was able to fit a +45 under stock sheet metal, then to fill a 50mm over fender I'd need like a... 0 offset or something? Help is appreciated!
