9.5 up front on an s13

[nlzmo400r]

Well im torn. Im not going staggered anymore (too much roadracing for that) and I was just curious if anyone has done this before. My choices are 17x8.5 w/25offset (no spacer) all around. Or 17x9.5 30offset (no spacer out back probably, but DEFINITELY need one up front). Im guessing space them to about a 15mm offset, anyone done this, Im curious as to how far im gonna have to pull my fenders as well- Rob

I'd shoot for something 20ish offset. Inner fenderwell and other areas will rub if the car is low or if you have tie rod spacers. Aggressive camber is necessary, and tire wise I'd go with a 225 or a 235, anything bigger and you will need wide fenders most likely.

well if I do put this on the car, its gonna be a 245 azenis. And I have tein tie rods (w/spacer). Id probably space the fronts out to about a 15mm offset. Im gonna pull the fender as well (hoping for less need of camber).

I wouldn't be afraid of camber, mine is -3.1 and I get perfectly even wear. It handles awesome too.
To my car I've done a good bit of hammering and beating on the everything under the fender, there are about 5 or 6 problem areas, and with that tire setup (245/40? 245/45 would be super bad) it would be wider and taller than my combo (yikes!) You have to realize as the wheel turns with a lower offset more of the 'face' of the tire will hit stuff on the car. The fender itself isnt that big of a deal, you can beat on it, but it starts looking shitty when you go too far.

well I think I may have to just save the money and get some 235/40 azenis to go onto these rims. I may also just raise my car up a little bit-
