Wheel size questions

[Sr-Silvia]

I wanna put the 5zigen FNO1RC's or whatever they are on my car. I have chargespeed 50mm oversized quarters, and 30mm over fenders. I was hoping to put 17x10 or even 18x10 on the rear, just wondering if anyone knows if i will have any porblems with this. And i was going to go for a 17x9 on the front. I have Z32 breaks in front, and wondering what i will need for an offset, and a recomended offset for the rear. Thanks!

[Sr-Silvia]

Oh yeah, its an S13!

I have the chargespeed widebody and am currently running the 17X9(+15)/17X10(+12) 5Zigen setup...

I can imagine that on a S13 you might be a little different but, this should give you an idea. The rear OEM fenders will have to be rolled and after that mount the over fender and after it' son ther grind away the inner lip of the over fender to meet the rolled metal. We spent quite a bit of time on the rear fender fitment, after we mounted them with panel bond we grinded them down and re-fiberglassed them to the body (well worth the time).

Somebody else might be able to help more but hope this gets you going.

Whammy, you have a twin of my car, just yours is younger!

I was wondering about this also as I will be using the 50mm over fenders in the rear and 20mm in the front.I want to stick with 17's all the way around though.

[Sr-Silvia]

i have chargespeed 50mm over quarters for sale if you are at all interested!!! They need a little work, but they arent bad.

[Sr-Silvia]

no one has reallly answered my question yet, would love some info.
Thanks!

[Sr-Silvia]

Cant even obtain all this information, please help someone??

The best fitment with that big of fenders are 17x10 +12mm and 17x9 +15mm. These are not ideal offsets but you said FN's. I've seen guys run these sizes with stock fenders and a pull/roll.

nice fucking clean car there whammie ur inspiring me to get a kouki and sell the hatch

[Nan Desu Ka?!]

clean, yes.
sunk, also yes.

+12 and +10 are pretty weak offsets for 50mm overfenders... i know you want the FN's buti just dont think those offsets are low enough. just MHO.

[Sr-Silvia]

What would you recomed for a wheel??? It needs to be pretty flashy because my car will be seeing alot of show time. Thanks!

[OptionZero]

you realize there are picture threads?

How can you spend money on that kind of body work and be clueless rE: wheels?

[Sr-Silvia]

Whats a picture thread, im new to the forum thing, and no so great with a computer. Im not clueless, just not totally positive, and i dont want to spend 2 g's on a set of wheels that arent going to fit properly, or look stupid. Im not from cali, im from vermont, i did the first sr20 swap about 2 years ago in vermont, and only one other that i know of has been done since. I dont have a big group of friends to talk about this kinda stuff, thats why im turning to the forums. I would appreciate some more USEFULL information.

not trying to thread jack but,
im trying to do 17x10 all the way around on my 14...im also wondering if anyone has done this with or with out bodywork or after market fenders...also if im doing this what offset would be good and what tire sizes would work?

He wants FNs.... those are the lowest offsets you can get. I'd say ditch the 50mm and put on the 30mm.

[Sr-Silvia]

Will they clear z32 breaks in front????
