Will 17x8 and 17x9 +35offset wheels fit on S13? - Page 2 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

shane_lxi · 02-06-2005, 02:44 AM

also, I have kyb struts, and sportlines. They are beefier then coilovers. You guys think 17x8"s will clear with spacers? (I work at a tire/suspension shop, so tire matching is no prob, but I don't want to invest $2k+ on something taht doesn't fit)

inthnk ppl run 215 on 8in rim in FRONT because thats wut fits well... I think your exagerrating with 245 on a 8in rim as minimum... i got 225s on my 8in and its not stretched AT ALL... kinda depends on how lowered u are, camber, tie rods, etc so that nuthing rubs under lock to lock.

you run whatever tire and rim you want. Fuck you if you think stretched tires are pussy.

Stretched tires are necessary in many situations. If i ran 255's on my 17X9's id have to run widebody flares, with stretched 225s i can get away with just pulling my fenders.

i have fn-rc's 17x8 +35 all the way around.. 225/45 in the front and 235/45... looks good... im not a big fan of stretching so i chose those sizes...it looks pretty good. its a tiny bit sunken in and i probably wannt go spacers... with my setup (or if i go 225/45's in the rear) you think i should go 15mm in the rear and 10mm in the front? my car is not completely dumped i have about a 1.5in gap.

toledo240 · 05-19-2005, 08:56 AM

shane- any pics of these motegi wheels coming out? and how soon? i think i know which ones your talking about? the ones from undergrond motorsports?

gladman- with your setup 17x9 with +35 in the rear it wont fit under the fender? are you running coilovers?

ColumbusDrift · 05-23-2005, 09:49 PM

Gladman-i'm also wondering the same thing as toledo240. are you running coilovers, could you get some more pics of the car on the floor, from the rear? those are the rims that i'm getting, but i was going to run 245's on all four corners on my S13.

Just so you know and everyone else telling you to get a lower offset, SPL is now selling 4 lug 17x9 +20 FN01RC's.

This is a pic of 17x8.5 +40 in the rear with 275 tires.

this is a good thread... BUT to make it better, if u post up clearance pics/comments, try telling what suspension you have so that we can be sure our situations are the same...

that said, for ppl who have sumthing around 17x8 +35 or higher offset in the FRONT, plz tell wut suspension you have, and maybe even tires [size, brand/model].

Im eyeing some rims, but not sure on buying yet, its 17x8 +35 front and 17x9 +38 rear, I know i should get a lower offset but theyre used, and a good deal :/

THANKS SO MUCH!
