Does anyone have those on a 89 S13 or does anyone know if they will fit ? I know offset and stuff is a factor but i dont know the offset, they are for a rear wheel drive tho.

yes it does. in fact, many of the advan sponsored drift cars run a similar setup. Try a +30 offset int he front and a+35 rear offset, and you're golded :)

215 ofr225-45-17 and 255-35-18 or 235-40-17 and 255-35-18 should work excellently.-chet

Very interesting. Isnt it kind of pointless to blatently choose a wheel and tire size? I mean depending on the power and weight differences how does one decide what will work? Im have zero experience in having different offsets front and rear. Is there a formula for this kind of thing?

no there isnt a formula for detrmining the "perfect" tire and wheel size. He just asked if anyone had that setup, and the advan sponsored silvias ran that on a few days, so it should work. taniguchi's s15 catually ran that setup in the D1. :)

not that that means anything for grip driving.-chetalso, for a forumla to calculate offset stuff, theres a link in the FAQ that can help you, and Im sure would help you with other questions too (the FAQ/stickies)
