18'' offset with Teins???

[Rick-95ZE]

I'm buying 18'' this week and I need to know an Idea of what offset to ask for. I have a set of Tein HE on my 91 s13, and I know there is some fitment problems, and almost ALL the searchs I've done have pulled up people that are dealing with smaller wheels. I'm wanting to go as WIDE as i can with the rims and tires, like a 18X8 or 18x8.5 and like a 235/40/18 or so.. I'm wanting to push the limmit with size........ Anyhoo I know some of you are SICK of these Offset posts,but show a little love to the F.N.G,

I was told 18x9 in the back with a 34-35 offset. I'm still wondering the same question though.

Well, I bought a set of Racing Hart C-2 18x7.5 from a local shop,and they said that they will fit?? so I guess i find out Friday. I'll keep you all posted

A friend of mine has HE's on his S14. 18x10 +38 in the rear, and 18x9 +30 in the front. Perfectly flush with fenders and clear coilovers. I'm not exactly sure on the offsets but i'm within 5mm, i think on the positive side. He's running 4 degrees of camber tho....

about the only comments that I can respond to at this time is,
1.they don't looked tucked te me (see for yourself)

2. a 225/40/18 that side wall will not flex that much, plus I don't have to get that size, I can buy a set of lower pro Tires, but I don't want to bend the rims on these ****ty roads we got around here..

3. I plan on buying another set of rims and slicks or drag radials for track use only
I dont realy care to look pretty at the track,plus I know that 18'' are not the best choice in a track rim

4. I use to work at the shop where I'm buying them,and I don't have to take them if they don't fit the way I want. I'll just buy somthing else if its not what i want
:rolleyes:

Yea tell me about it.

Rick,

I think the wheels actually look pretty good. The wheel and the size is not my taste at all, but it doesn't look bad. The offset seems to be fine. I only like 15 -17" rims on S13, but thats just me. Good luck.

I would like to take this oppertunity to point out that NiteKids has no idea what hes talking about, wich doesn't surprise me at all..

the fronts needed a (SMALL)and i do meen small spacer, but (ONLY) the fronts, and they allmost stick out to far,but they are just what i wanted..
I could have gone with a 215/40/18 or a 205/40/18 and then i wouldn't need a spacer at all, but like a said before the roads around here are crapy so i kinda need a some what normal side wall.

Oh yeah, and I did HAVE FUN!!!:D
