My 17x8 +35 5zigens should be here soon. they'll be on the front of my s13

I just wanted to know what size spacer i should use for it to look best and will any rolling or anything be nescessary on the front? I'll have a 215/45/17 Tire

Also will there be any issues with running a 225/45/17 tire on a 17x9 and any rolling or anything for the rear?

Thanks-Ben

The fronts should be fine with the 215/45 tire and no fender rolling.

the fronts wont need any spacer with a 215, so youd just run a spacer to get it to look how you want

the rears you should run a 235/40/17 tire, a 225 isnt enough

I've heard of people running a 225/45/17 on a 17x9 with no problem......

but the stretch will be much more than if you ran a 215 front, if you want a 215/225 stagger run an 8.5 inch wide in the back
