18x9 +37 18x10 +37?

Front fenders not rolled, but I have camber plates... Pretty low, but wiring is relocated and fender seam flattened.

Rear fenders are currently rolled but not pulled. Gonna be "flaring" them some this week.

Will these fit? If so, what tire sizes would you choose?

Youre definately going to need a spacer to clear coilovers up front. Id say a 15mm might do it, but Id probably look at 20mm just to be on the safe side. The fenders are going to need to be rolled.

Im honestly not sure about the rear fitment, yokota knows more about staggered rear fitment than I do...

Personally, Id run 225/40/18s up front with 245/35/18's out back. Again, I dont have any experience running 18's but those seem like the most logical tire sizes to me. I know youve got some meaty tires on your other s13 wheels, are you against stretching?

Don't pull your fenders! LOL. Not needed. You're gonna need spacers up front. I'd get 20mm bolt-on all around. Once you get the spacers/tires on, work on the fenders.

Not sure about 18" tire size. Haven't run 18's on an S13 before.

oklets start with a frontill compare with mine, assuming its the same disk type (almost no room for a brakc caliper on mine)i used a 20mm spacer, but a 15 would work. you need take the wheel offset calculator (online google it) and type in your numbers and thosethen go out and measure your inner shock clearance, with the wheel now, and do the math to find out if it will fit with a 20mm spacer (which would make it decently flush on a stock fender)shock clearance is kinda iffy, becase i dont know what you have, or am not there to look. different brands are different sizes

for the rearslap a 15 or a 20 depending on how flush you wnat to be, you will be find on clearance after a spacer

go with a 225-40 front235-40 rear

Hmmmm.

These are almost identical to the set you just sold, yokota...

I have the Endura-Tech coilovers.

Not sure if I can deal with a 245 in the rear.... I'm running a 275 now and boil the piss outta those as it is.

Good info tho - I'll do the math. I'd like to have these, but the Z-brakes and stock fenders might hose me.

20mm front, 15mm rear

235/40/18 front, 265/35/18 rear, hankook rs2, you just need better tires to not burn them up, youre still in the low 300s power wise right? with a good tire you shouldnt even have anything close to a 275, 255 at most

i dont like 18s too much because you need to run taller tires if you want wider sizes, but what its either what i gave you or 225/235 with good tires
