Size: (2) 17X8.0 20.2 lbs ea +/- 0.5 lbs

Size: (2) 17X9.0 21.2 lbs ea +/- 0.5 lbs

Bolt Pattern: 5 X 100 and 5 X 114.3 (4.5")

Offset: +38mm


Will these dimensions fit an s13? Will it clear megan coilovers?

Where will the outside of the rim be? Meaning will the wheels be flush or will they stick out?

stock shocks and springs-maybe
coilovers probably not.

Depending on what your definition is of flush, but it should fit with the coilovers unless they're huge. That size should clear tein HE's and most other teins as well.

17x7 , 17x8 +35 offset. So, yours should stick out just a bit more I would define it as "flush"

First of all, unless your S13 has a 5 lug conversion, they aren't even the same bolt pattern. If it does, then you should find wheels with better offsets. They definitely won't stick out, they will acutally be a little sunken for most of the flushness kings on this board. ;) The fronts are going to be cutting it close. You may need spacers up front. I think the rears will clear fine. Also, remember, flushness is VERY dependent on what size tires you run, how much camber you run, and whether you're willing to roll/pull your fenders.

Im sorry i didnt specify. Yes i doo have 5 lugs already.

So these will not be flush. Well thanks for letting me know





What sizes do you guys recomend for a 17 inch rim? offset ect. Keep in mind i want to have a staggered setup, 8 or 9 in rear and 7 or 8 in the front. Most likely i will be running 225's or 235's in the front and 245's -265's in the rear.



SPEEDDREAMS:The setup you have looks very nice. That is a good flushness in my opinion,Can you give more specifics? Are you running 35 offset front and rear? And what tire size are you using?

It seems your definition of flush, isn't very flush. Most people on this site will say flush is like posted above. Something like a 8+10 and 9+20 with probably a 215 and 225 combo.

Keep in mind i want to have a staggered setup, 8 or 9 in rear and 7 or 8 in the front. Most likely i will be running 225's or 235's in the front and 245's -265's in the rear.

If you want to run tire sizes like that, I'd suggest the ever popular 17x8+25 and 17x9+35. Those sizes should allow you to run those kind of tire sizes and clear coilovers.
