ive been lookin into the 962's from sportmax.they have a 17x7 for the front and a 17x9 out back.but i cant find any s13's with pics on here that have them.i know the offsets are high,ive done plenty of research.ive also heard mixed opinions about these wheels,how the frontr is too narrow,but i love the way they look.can anyone post any pics with the 17" staggered setup or shed some light on the situation.much appreciated.

He means that staggering wheels with 7" width in the front and 9" wide in the rear will cause massive understeer issues. Too much of a bias. I run 7 front 8rear and I am fine. Also running two different widths of tires will cause the same issue (example: 215 front and 235 rear..or along those lines)

Yeah, sportmaxes suck with weights, lol. And yeah, spacers are needed up front to clear coils.

whats the point of getting 7 in wide wheels? if your gonna buy new wheels then get wider more agressive offsets and wheels. isnt the stock wheel a 7? if your going to do a staggered set up do 8.5 front 9.5 rear or 9.5 front and 10 rear if you can fit.
