1st question-

Im currently looking into a set of 17x8 (frt) and 17x9 (rr) wheels. Car is a 92 SE model. That said, what sort of offsets am i going to have to look for when ordering wheels, and are spacers going to be needed?

2nd question-

Im currently looking into 235/40r17 tires for the front, and 255/40r17 tires for the rear. I hadnt originally planned on running anything that big, however, a friend of mine had 255s on his s13, and said they fit just fine. Question is, will the fenders need rolled? if so, where can i look into getting this done, and what are the approx prices?

3rd question-

Will any of this change if i go through with my plans for a 300zx front and rear brake conversion?

Why don't you ask him? If you choose the right offset to fit those size tires then you don't need spacers. Lots of pics and wheel info if you just look.

It'll work - I had the same setup (with the ever-so-rare FN01R-Cs) on my S13, with 225/45 and 255/40 ES100s...the rear lip needed a tiny bit of rolling, that's all.

+25 should work on the front, its going to be really close. I got 16x7.5 +35 with 225/50/16 on my fronts and its probably about 3mm away from the strut. I can't even fit a skrew driver between it. But it doesnt scrub tho, but it is real damn close.

yeah, i had originally been looking into the fn01r-c's, because thats what i had on my honda, and i was very pleased with them, however, after seeing how many of the people on here have them, ive been leaning against it. i am leaving them as a possibility though, because as i know of, not many people in my area currently have them.
