17x9+35 up front? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey guys i don't know if I'm posting this in the right section. If I'm not my bad, if i am let me state out my question. I have an s13 and i want to get some wheels that are 17x9+35 all around, i know the rears will fit just fine. My question is what do i need to do to make the fronts fit. I have gr2's with tein springs. I posted on nico club and have not gotten any responses so I'm trying my luck here. Spacers will be needed but i dont know what size exactly, any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

Not sure about spacer sizing, but I'm sure the tire/wheel experts will tell you:
-Camber
-Fender Roll
-Fender Pull
-Tire stretching

Something around those lines lol.

Fender roll... maybe
Fender pull... Not needed
Camber... -1.5 to -2.5
Tires... 215's or 225's

Use slip on spacers about 10-15mm will do and extended wheel will be a must

15mm spacer SHOULD make the fronts fit. but thats with coils. so you might need to go bigger.

Damn!! I always thought you just needed to get a camber kit and that's all. I'm such a noob ha

What the fuck does a camber kit gotta do with WHEEL FITMENT?!?!

Anyways, back to the OP, 9J +35 offset, the wheel will hit the front strut. Get atleast 15mm spacers (kicking it down to +20) to look decent. Closer it is to +0 offset, the more aggressive itll look.

But Im not a big fan of spacers that big. My advice to you is sell the rims, save the money you'd spend on spacers and buy rims that wont need any spacers. Hell, I can get you some 18x9 +20 BBS...
