What do you guess think of running 17x9 + 17 offset on all four corners?And also what tire size suggestions and what are the performance benifits of running the same size all the way around?

Well, the benefits of going the same size all around is you can rotate your tires for longer life, and it wont cost you as much in the long run, that isnt too bad of an offset for a 240, with a little bit of camber and a roll/pull you should fit those quite well.

Yeah its an s13, Im also going to run stance coilovers any forseable problems with clearance, I was told that with a slight roll in the rear with negative camber would clear and just negative camber for the front would clear with no problems. Btw the wheels are a tech weapons buying them from enjuku racing. I also am installing polyurethain bushings in the suspeinsion. When I learn how to post pictures I will.

itll need a roll and a small pull, depending on how much camber you want to run, both ends

How much negative camber would i need to run to make it happen, I have been told that i would have to do a slight roll but not a pull if i run enough negative camber by enjuku. What do you suggest?

Ordering the wheels monday so when I receive them I'll see if I can at least post some pic's of the wheel. Still waiting on the 5 lug conversion I also ordered them from enjuku and they said they would get them on the 20th if feb . Anyhow the front bushing install is done starting on the rear I'm thinking of pulling the hole rear subframe with everyhting on it because its looks easier to do that way. I'll keep you posted and upto date. Peace out.

You will have no clearance issue w/Stance. 235 on 9 will have slight stretched look, but not much. You just install everything including RUCA in the rear and have to kinda play around with height and stuff. Take your time and adjust here and there to figure out what need to be done. You will have a fun for a while doing it.

Same as MB Motorsports Weapons, just different name... MB's are sold 'exclusively' by DiscountTire.com. The Weapons are $140 apiece.
