Will these wheels fit?

I have a 91 240sx Fastback, Tein Flex suspension. I'm looking @ buying a set of 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 staggered wheels with +35 offsets. Will these fit or will i encounter rubbing issues with wheel wells or suspension?

Thanks!

no the front will not fit, you'll hit the coilover, space it out to about 25mm and you'll be ok. The rear will fit fine, but just the fact of you putting 18s on an s13 means if you want to run and kind of real tire to take advantage of the wide wheels (245/40's?) you're going to have to raise the car a lot.

(above me) is correct if you are on coilovers the fronts will smack the coilover. simple spacer will clear that rite up. what you may have to look into if you want to lower your car any legitamate tire tucking amount. will require you to reloacte the engine harness, possibly flattening out the seams above the tire and the inside of the frame rail. and pulling the front and rear fenders. just slightly though.

I'd suggest that you have some sort of fender flare or fender rolling. For an S13, you're going pretty wide, and I don't think I've heard of anyone with an S13 that had not done any modifications to fit tires/wheels that were that wide. Even if you happen to get them installed, I think you will rub ALOT.
