So to reference this, I've seen people referencing 17x9 +12 for our stock body cars for "ideal fitment".

Due to the lack of "off the shelf availability" are 17x9 +22 the "replacement" for this now since I don't see as many 17x9 +12 options available for the wheels I'm interested in.

If +22 is just as efficient (as referenced "not as aggressive") for stock body 240'sx, that would be great to know when wheel shopping.

Also, could the same argument be made for 17x9.5 +12 wheel sizes too?

Thanks in advance for any insight!

Either or will work. A lot of people me included run 18x9.5 +22 stock body with just a roll.

Both are fine, both clear coils, brakes, etc.

I personally prefer 17x9 +12 and consider it more 'ideal', but I only ever run 215/45's or 225/40's on mine along with a good bit of camber (and a slight roll).

The guy asking for advice wanted to run very little camber and 245/40's, which is why I recommended the 17x9+22's.

+22 is only as efficient as +12 if you are not running spacers. For example, if I bought +22's, wasn't happy with the fitment and added 10mm spacers, I feel I should have bought the +12's instead.

So IMO, +22 is still for people who either want a minimum roll, minimum camber, maximum rubber, or don't care about running spacers. +12 is still ideal for everyone else.

Thanks to both of your prompt, clear answers.

Its not my daily anymore so I now have the time & money to put towards the car and wouldn't mind a clean set of wheels.

Unfortunately I'm still "stock" - no rolled/pulled fenders and no coilovers (AGX + Springs) but something I can put on that fits well is my goal here.

I will consider all recommendations/offsets above in my searches (opens up more options for me) and look into a roll/pull also (regret not doing it at the time I had the car painted).

Thanks!

Anyone know if our s13 can fit 14x9 -24et wheels? Or has anyone done it in the past? Thanks in advance for any info / pics!

With enough camber, stretch, and pull, anything is possible. I'd be more concerned about the wheels clearing the brakes and control arms than anything.

This thread might have some helpful info

Hey there, thank you so much, that thread was very nice to flip through. And you're completely right haha, with enough camber, stretch, and pull, anything will fit! Guess I'll just have to test them when they finally get here.

Anyone have some pics of some 17/18 RPF1 setups? Can't seem to find shit. Would appreciate some on a hatch. Thinking of doing 17x9 +22 front and 18x9.5 +15 rear

These are pics of my old set up with 18x9.5+15 in the front and 18x10.5+15 in the rear stock body S14 with rolled fenders, coils, and arms.

Question time.

Just got some 17x9 +15 wheels for my hatch.

My hatch is still 4 lug, so I have to go 5 to run this, which is all planned. Because I am getting b knuckles soon, and it is suggested to run negative offset for them, I am thinking of doing the GKtech 5 lug adapters, which are basically +20 mm spacers that also give you 5 lug without swapping hubs, which would give me 17x9 -5 effectively. My question is, if I square this up and run 17x9 -5 all around, what size overfenders does one think will be best? Always have kept my s-chassis stock body for the last ~17 years so the overfender thing is new to me. Any suggestions?

I am thinking +30 on both front and rear? I am wanting to run close to zero camber rear, and probably between -3 / -5 up front. If that helps at all. Anybody ever run anything similar?

Just go 5 lug and don?t run a rear spacer. (Once you factor in overs and paint, staying 4 lug would be more expensive) Some camber and a slight pull up front will clear x9 -5 just fine unless you?re running beefcake tires.

The wheels are only +15, but I know with B knuckles its preferable to go negative, so I figured the adapters give me 20mm spacer built in, so it would be -5 up front. I suppose I could still just do a regular 5 lug hub in the back, to keep the +15 in the rear and be better for stock fenders, but honestly wasn't sure if that would look super dumb with the difference between front and rear and the paint on this new hatch I bought is BEYOND rough (complete eyesore, will post a build thread soon so you understand the awful previous owners this has been with haha) and I am going to paint anyway, so I don't mind the overs. Does anybody successfully run b knuckles with a +15? I don't want to get too off track in this thread, but yeah - just trying not to have to do stuff twice.

Edit: Just re-read what you posted, and I see that's basically what you said to do, do normal 5 lug hub in the rear and the adapters up front. Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for the suggestion!

Can anyone with knowledge of ssr sp1 give me some specs for purchasing a new set of wheels , have brembo 6 piston cvts in the front, can change to fiberglass fender, work meister s1 3p 18x9.5 +12 was a perfect fitment ,but the rear is still stock metal fenders with a 25 mm role and pull ,not interfering with rear fenders ,not gonna cut them ,want 18's ,let's see what you've got !

I had z32 calipers with the pbm bbk (330mm rotor iirc) and it wouldn?t clear the hardware on the backside of the face of my sp1’s regardless of the disk height (sl, nr, and r all interfered). I?m not sure how the ctsv brakes fit in relation to z32, but I?d bet your best option would bet to get a higher offset sl disk wheel and add spacer as necessary

[IMG]https://imgur.com/a/g2GIvmc[/IMG]I need some help choosing tires.

my car came with a set of xxr 006 wheels on it.
Front 18x8.5 +35

Rear 18x9.5 +35

I know its not the best offset to have but, I can add a spacer up front. I got some bolt on 20 or 15mm spacers lying around. The car had some almost bald tires when i got it so im not sure if it clear with new tires tbh.

I was thinking about going with
front 245/35/18
rear 255/35/18

here is a pic when i got it,
specs as pictured
Front 18x8.5 +35 245/40 w/5mm spacers
Rear 18x9.5 +35 255/50

How much camber is that roughly in the back? Does it clear the stock fender without a pull and just rolled flat? If so that's great because I plan to run 255 as well.

Anyone ever tried 18x9.5 +28 all around?
i've got R33 brembos up front, wondering if they'll clear

that all comes down to the disk design really. Some wheel manufacturers create offset through just the lip/barrel sizes, others change the offset of the wheels through the face of the wheel (like adding/subtracting material off the center of the face)
