thinkin about pickin up a set of used wheels for my 91 coupe, specs on them are 17x8 ( front ) and 17x9 ( rear ) offset on all 4 wheels are a +44. i understand how offsets work, they dont look like they have that much of a lip. im not really that concerned with that anyways i was just wondering of anyone is running a setup like this with wheel spacers on an S13. if so id like to see some other setups. 5 lug friendly just lookin for how the wheel would be in the wheelwellTIA

Well mine aren't THAT bad off an offset... front are 17x8 +38(+23 w/spacer) and 17x9 in rear +33(+28 w/spacer) Plan on getting a bigger spacer in the rear eventually. I have heard mixed opinions on wheel spacers, but for safety I would only use hubcentric spacers and get some GOOD extended studs to match them. I got nismo studs. I would think the 17x9 +44 would hit your suspension but I could be wrong, either way spacers are a MUST for those offsets.

Those are FWD offsets, you'll need to find lower or use spacers to achieve the same effect.
