I'm planning on getting wheels for my car and I'm wondering how 17X8.5 +4 on all 4 would fit on my s13.

Those are pretty square.4.1" front space4.4" back space

Sportmax 002's are 4" front and 4" back.You can use those for size reference.

Gonna stick out a bit in front. Should be just about perfect in the back tho.

Rota RB's, huh?

^ maybe ok, i was thinking about tires also for them. I was thinking maybe 225/45/17 front and 235/40/17 in the rear. Good?

Hehe. I think a 235 might be a bit too square to get the good flush look. You may want to just do 225's all around, or even 215's in front so you can be a flush-meister.

My friend locally has 16x8 +15 all around in the RB's, and the front looks fantastic, really couldn't be better. I'm not sure what tire size he has, but you can ask him on here, Chris28. The rears are a bit sunken, but if you had 8.5 +4 in the rear that would look great I think.
