View Full Version : S13 wheel advice

So now I have a pair of 17 inch wheels and I can't find the matching pair unless I got lucky finding used ones (XXRs). They are on a 6 month backorder on every website.

I found a set of 4 wheels

Square G6
18x9.5 +12 offset

My question is, if I buy these, am I making the right choice? I'm getting them for almost cheaper than 17s. Sometimes I look at my 17's and think they're a little small, because my car isn't really low.

My car:
It's an S13 coupe with no aero kit. Not very low, just a little lower than stock.
I plan on going lower with some coilovers but not SLAMMING it.
Depending on the right tire size, will these look okay?

Is it going to be a hassle trying to go a little lower with them?

I've been searching and searching pictures but can't find an S13 picture. Only S14. I just want a direct second opinion.

I'm guessing it might look something like this, but I'm a little concerned with the back wheels. Do you think he has spacers? I want to be able to go lower in the back.

This is the only picture of an S13 with these wheels in this size I can find.

No, that car has no spacer. If anything, the wheel will stick out some pass the fender. You'd need to run some camber after rolling and pulling the fender some.

^^Or invest in a set of overfenders.

Hm, thanks a lot for the advice. This wheel looks like it sticks out a lot more than other wheels with the same specs on rimtuck.com.

Also seems like he's got a bigger tire in the back.

To each his own. I happen to really like them in 17x9s on a slammed coupe.
A little unsure about these 18s. Might try and trade them.
