hey guys,

i was looking at these rims.http://atlanta.craigslist.org/pts/969071350.htmli know they fit my s13 offset +bolt pattern and all.but they're are 18's but the for the price i would get them right now, i just need your input.do you think 18's would look good with a lowered s13? i put them on eibachs not coilovers* btw and and i was just thinking has anyone else ever rode with 18's how it felt and stuff.i just want to make sure it wont rub in with the frame it is 18x 7.5as mentioned in the ad.

thanks for the input!

18's fit on an S137.5 is rather narrow.I'll bet they're FWD offsets, so they'd be sunken. Need to know offset to know for sure, my bet is those are in the 40's.

Overall, 18's fit, but those probably don't.

7.5 is too skinny imo. x8 is the skinniest I would go. Mine are x8 in front and x8.5 rear. I love the way they look. I wouldn't go any bigger than 18 though. Btw, you can easily run x9's with no problem even with a low offset like +15. You might need a roll though.

No need to create a 2nd thread, the 1st one was just moved to the correct sub-forum.

Thanks

x8 should be a minimum.
