Hi guys! So i've been doing some research on Fitment and wheels and i've came to the conclusion that i too want to buy new wheels. I currently have 17x9's that came with my car (idk offset) but i was hoping to run something in the lines of 18x9.5's . What offset would be a good option for 18x9.5's so that i wouldn't be rubbing on the suspension? ty! Pics of my crap, tell me what you guys think would be a Solid offset to make the wheels look nicely

Edit: Lol my pictures aren't working >.<

This man speaks truth. Some have gotten away with slightly higher offsets, but its a real gamble with most coilovers.

different coilovers will have different inner clearance.

on Part Shop Max Competition coilovers with a 9.5 wide wheel on the front of a s13, you will need an offset lower than +15

no room for tire bulge either.
