18x9.5 wheel width on s13's
I'm looking at some 18x9.5 wheels for my s13 hatch and was wondering what would be the best offset for it. The offsets offered are +12/+20/+25/+30/+35/+48, I want the lowest offset (+12) but don't know if it'll stick out far from the fenders with a 9.5" width. Which offset would you guys recommend. Any inputs would be helpful.

rears, up to +30 "should" fit just fine (depending on coilover). +20 & +12 are no problem. You will need to pull the rear fenders (I have a tutorial linked below, or via searching).
However, if u are running 9.5 all around, I'd opt for +12, since anything higher w/ 9.5 offset will not clear most coilovers.
be prepared for some fender rolling/pulling, camber, and depending on how much you can pull, probably stretched tire city.
you should really search tho, most of wheel combos have been listed on here & other forums. The general guidelines are already in those threads, and you can basically figure out what rim offset/width will stick out to where, etc, etc.
