Before we even get into that, get some proper suspension and do something about that hideous body kit.... sorry if I'm blunt but its for your own good....

x2 wheels are the least of your worries

your pattern is 4x 114.3

[olivebranchbruiser]

i'm not gonna start racing or drifting for real till later.

i just want something to set the car off nicely for now.

and i'm probably gonna go up to pull a part here soon to try to find some bumpers.

get thisthe guy before me used pop rivets and wood screws to put the body kit on.

I agree though. Get rid of hideous bumper/side skirts first. Install coilovers second. Buy good sized wheels third.

Here are six wheels with decent offsets available in 17x9 or better:

I don't think you're gonna find anything cheaper than these in good sizes. Once you pick one that you like, come back if you have questions about what sizes and specs to get.

[Gabes13]

Coilovers or bust.

[olivebranchbruiser]

alright. here goes.

get my body effects strait.

coilovers

then wheels.

[Dire91]

Add 5 lug to that.

[olivebranchbruiser]

yeah right. you have no clue how hard it is to find 5 lug in ob

[simmode1]

Add 5 lug to that.

Not totally neccessary unless you can't find something you like in 4 lug. Hopefully OP will find something he likes in that list I posted above. Of course, if he has expensive tastes, he could always go with customed sized 4 lug Work or SSR wheels...

yeah right. you have no clue how hard it is to find 5 lug in ob

What's so hard about it? Buy the Ichiba kit...

[olivebranchbruiser]

ok. let me put it this way.

i'm a cashier.

i don't get paid much.

i'm a brawler on a budget.

[bersh240]

poor people like you and me cant afford coils. and if ur a cashier im guessing ur not takin the thing out to the track to beat on or anything like that. soo... im gona get yelled at for this but new shocks and lowering springs are alot cheaper and sweet talk ur way to gettin a new set of rims and tires off somebodys unfinished project real cheap

[olivebranchbruiser]

i beat on it when ever i can. i'm taking it to the track this saturday.

but thats a good idea getting wheels off somebody.

[240lookis]

im 17. i am a paper boy.i have coilovers.buy coilovers.simple as that.

[bersh240]

oh then if ur gona track it coils better idea. but i got tokico blues, eichbach springs, konig 17inch rims, and nankang ns1 tires all brand new for $375. doesnt get better than that.just dont be picky about it. if u find a good deal get them and sell them later for same or more when u find good ones.

I've been known to use my amex card and then pay it in full a month later to help get funds setup for payment. Just ask DCDan Maxusa LOL.

You do what you do to get your car how you want it then you stop... Til you get another crazy idea heh

17 x 9. XXR 006s... Got any offset recommendations??

EDIT: Nevermind.. Found a thread where you recommended +35 with 25mm spacers to make a +10.

That must have been an old thread, if thats what I said... Because 006 come in 17x9+20 now. Get those. Here's a link, $130 per wheel.

[PyR0NiAk]

Wheels perplex me... So should I get 10mm spacers to make them +10? or leave them at +20?

[simmode1]

17x9+20 is a very nice and decent offset. This size will clear coilovers, be flush and fit good sized rubber. Buy a set of these wrapped in some budget priced 235/40/17's and you're good to go. Minimal fender work required, if any at all.

Only run spacers with this if you wanna get the 'Hella-flushed' look and you wanna used stretched tires.

[simmode1]

Here's a good example of 17x9+20 235/40/17 on a low s13. From the 'Wheel Fitment Database' thread:

1. Falken Hanabi's2. 173. 94.+20 no spacers5. sold the car before I put the calipers on6. Tein SD 7. Rear fenders rolled8. 235/40/17

See guys, there really is no excuse to buy bad fitting rimz when it's this easy and cheap to pull off a decent look with man-sized wheels...

[PyR0NiAk]

Awesome Gonna run the +20s with 235/40/17 Falken Azenis RT615 Thanks

O_O any where i can get that hook up?

[simmode1]

You'll regret it. I have that same setup right now, except I run 18's. Tokico/Eibach combo is sketchy. Some ppl's last a while, but alot of ppl's (like mine) blew their struts and shocks in under six months.

Save for coilovers or you'll live in envy of slammed cars until you spend more doing it all over again to join them when you should have just done that in the first place....

[bersh240]

well i learned something today...

[simmode1]

Don't worry... I 'd too. What a waste of money. But I did it 2x...

[olivebranchbruiser]

ok now does anyone know a good place to buy lsd's?

[simmode1]

ok now does anyone know a good place to buy lsd's?

Depends on what you're looking for or what you're using it for... Most of use go with used/junkyard LSD's from J30's, 180sx's, Z32's or S15's. Or just weld your stock open diff.

Of course, if you want high dollar, new diffs, let us know what you're looking to do with it and we can make recommendations...

[olivebranchbruiser]

ok now does anyone know a good place to buy lsd's?

[olivebranchbruiser]

well if i weld it then like a year later i won't be able to go over 50 mph withough the car shaking to bits. my buddy had an ae86 that got torn up because of that.

i'm looking for something that i can drift or drag with.
