So ive checked the fitment database, and rimtuck.com and havnt found any s13s with 17x9.5 +12 all around on an s13

im thinking about getting grids in these sizes, i know it will be pretty flush in the back, but im afraid the fronts are gonna poke out like a mofo

anyone got any pictures of this setup?

Awww man... I do have pics of that, but I'll have to wait till I get off work in the morning to throw them up. IMO, it's not too bad at all. It's very aggressive looking. I plan to run the same sizes so I save pics of it whenever I see them.

As long as you go with a tire size no bigger than 235/40/17, you should be fine. Any wider rubber up front and you will need a pull or 20mm wider front fenders.

EDIT: Hey, I thought it was bizzare that you didn't find any s13's with 17x9.5+12 fronts on Rimtuck... Did you miss this one:

It would fit with stock fenders, but it'll be close with this tire size. Gonna need a healthy amount of negative camber. Run a smaller tire and you'll be fine.
