I am wondering if a 17x8 +35 rim will fit on the front of an s13. I have tein basics, but they seem to have good clearance because i am running a 17x7 +42 currently. I will also be getting 17x9 +35 in the back, but Im almost sure that will clear everything fine. If anybody has pictures of this setup I would really appreciate those as well.

I think SRSmith also runs the same size on his S13. Not sure what size tires though...

my next question was going to be, what size tires should i run? i want it to fit without rolling my fenders if possible. if there is no way, i guess i will get it done but i would prefer not messing with it.

Those may or may not clear up front though. I had to run 215/45 up front on mine , with 235/40 in the rear. Hopefully they do though.=)
