i was wondering if 17x8 in the front of a s13 will fit without spacers or anything?

i plan on getting 17x8 all the way around.

i think that will be cutting it close on shock clearance in the front, but i could be wrong. rear i believe is good to go.

Cleared my D2 coilovers, but it is close. They clear my stock springs/struts on another car as well.

It fits fine over stock springs/struts. So I really don't see it being a problem.

215/45-17 OEM overall diameter tire fits perfect onto the 17x8" +35 with coilovers or strut/spring!

I run a 215/45/17 on my 17x7.5s and they are far from strings. They have no stretch at all and plenty of sidewall, actually more than I'd like.

Run the same size I have if you wanna stagger. 205 is pretty small on that rim, unless your looking for some drifter stretch, in which I know nothing about.
