the 17x9 +20 should look pretty damn good on the rear (you'll probably need to roll them fenders), but the 17x8 +35 would need some spacers, id say a 15mm or 20mm

I run 17x9 +20 in the rear of my S13 with a 235/40 tire. I'm lowered with megan racing coilovers set at the height they were at when I removed the from the box. The camber is at whatever the coilovers put it at. They clear everything, I didn't even have to roll the inner lip, but if I ever want to remove some of that camber, I'll need a roll done so I don't eat the edge of my tire.

Nikolay is running the 17x10's. The face on the rim is different between the 10" wide and the 9" wide.

17x9+15 4 lug is available in the Grenade gx-01. They are a pretty heavy wheel tho, a little more than the fn's. They run $220 each. Oh, and 17x8+35 will look like ****, go 17x9+20 all 4.

the 17x9 +20 should clear the D2's pretty easily, as I have the 17x8 +35 and they barely clear my D2's.

You finicky wheel snobs. 17x8 +35 does not look bad, it doesn't have to be uber flush to be nice. It also does not have to be sticking out of the fender to be nice.

I have also owned a set of 17x8+35 wheels, that uber sunk look just isnt my thing I guess.

yeah, i hate the sunken look. Grenades are going to go up in price soon. the 220 is only for this month. I would love grenades but they wanted 25 per wheel shipping which just put them out of my range. im running 215/45/17 on my 17X9 +20. i must say that im pretty close with 215, im not sure if you will have any clearance isues with 235, but you're going to have to roll fenders anyways, it just might need a little pull added to it.

+10mm spacer, haha. Or you can get grenade wheels in +15.

thanks guys. already rolled fenders for current bulged 16x7+32 245's on the back, that aint a problem.

i called spl to order the fn01rc's but they are all sold out for another three months. i guess ill just wait until then. the gernades are too heavy at 25lbs. 5zigen's are only 20 lbs.

thanks, im going 17x9+20 all around, the only thing i was concerned about was clearance of front coilovers but i've seen quite a few people running them so that shouldn't be a problem. 235/40/17 will go all around.

thanks! mark these seem like near perfect offset and look for 4lug'd s13's. i was going to go 5 lug and fit 10's on the rear but then the fronts aren't concaved and the rears are... it doesn't look right.
