Hey guys,I've been looking alot into these wheels for my s13, 16x8+15 501's, and I see that alot of people have run them- but I also know alot of those people run coilovers and ruca's, roll their fenders. I'm on totally stock suspension(except sways) and untouched fenders.

What all is actually needed to run them ok?

I'd like to put 225s on them, hopefully they'd fit without rubbing Front or Rear.

I liked the sportmax 002's better, but with a +0 offset I think it'd cost too much to pull off.

Thanks for the help, let me know if I left anything out.

Look at the fitment database up top.I've got the 16x8's +15 on 205/50r16 with stock fenders and I'm pretty low.

You shouldn't have any problems with stock suspension.

rucas are only to correct camber

more camber would lessen rubbing chances
