Will probably need a roll on all 4 corners and a pull on the front. Clearing coilovers might be an issue.

I thought 17x9 +20 was generally considered the best size for S13s? Someone said they barely clear the stock fenders at that size and offset.

+24 will be borderline to clear coilovers, you might need a 5mm spacer

itll also need at least a roll and a pull too depending on how much camber you want

also run a 235/40/17 tire

Here's the situation. I have 17x8 with +23 offset. Original offset was +38, but I installed 15mm spacers on all corners, so current offset is +23. I just checked the clearance for the front coilovers and I have more than one inch. So, there's a good chance you will clear coilovers without a problem up front. The reason I used 15mm spacers is... All 4 wheels are completely flush with fenders. I just need to roll rear fenders. I'll need slight pull if I use 20mm spacers. Tires are 235/40 17 all the way around BTW. 17x9 +24 wheels are a very good size if you set them up right. Sometimes, I feel that 17x8 is weak.

Haha!! I knew someone was going to bring this up. Sorry, it's under construction. I'll post pics when it's finally looking good. Problem is I have to save up money little by little for the parts and it's taking way longer than I thought. Suspension and brake parts are REALLY expensive. I owe pictures to you, DeXter(he loves to see pics), Brian, attwater, mods and other members. I promise vert members will see mine first.
