17x9 +15 or +35...please help

Hi guys i've searched and searched

I want to go with the 5 zigens FnoR...whatevers. 17x9

I was going to go 17x9 +20 and run a 215 on them front and back b/c i loved the look

But I have 5 lug in my S13 and they don't do +20

So my options are +15 or +35

Which do i get

If I go +15 i'm worried that i might need more than a simple roll and if I go +35 it won't look right.

But I don't know thats why i'm coming to you .

If you could help me out that would be great

15 or 35???

thanks

Paul


P.s this car has the exact look i'm going for..:

+15.
The +35s probably won't clear the struts in the front. Don't know how much rolling will be required for the S13, but I don't think too much.

What car??

Anyway, go with the +15 with 235/40/17. Look for pics of Kookz's car, blue S13 coupe, that's what his setup is. Absolutely gorgeous. You'll need a roll and maybe a bit of camber, but no pulling.

Did a search no user with that name, but i'd love to see it

So as of now sounds like +15 is the way to go?? anyone else?

and you said 225, you think i sould stay away from the 215?

yeah dude, +15 You could run a 215 like you previously said just so you won't have to run much camber. and roll your fenders its such an easy task and gives you that extra room you need

Do a search on member Jookybanana and look at pics of his car.

He's got the 17x9 +20 5zigens for the 4x114.3 and he's running 215/40/17. I believe he is also running 10mm spacers all around.

Kookz is not a member on this forum, but he is a member of ziptied.com and Fresh Alloy.

Or just go to the galleries of www.pinkgodzira.com and find Kookz's gallery.

20-6=14. SO from there it would be safe to consider a 15mm offset close enough.

It's only 5 mm less, so you might need more of a pull, nothing TOO crazy though. Yay for S13s with 5 lug.
