About to order, any last opinions?

[superflysr20]

Bout to order my wheel/tire setup for my 90 s13 sr20det. I have tien springs and kyb shocks and the car is lowered 1.5"

Here's what im ordering and the costs

Im about to order (4) 17x9 sportmax 962's wrapped with 235/40/17 Falken Azeni's RT-615 for $1320 from http://www.elementwheels.com

For the front im ordering Ichiba 15mm spacers for $105

The wheels include lugnuts but im not sure if they're going to fit with the spacers? If not what kind of lug nuts do I need

Other than that I think this is all that I need....What do you guys think? Do I need anything else

I hope you plan on putting in longer wheel studs.

Also, your ride height will be 4x4 status.

yeah the spacers come with the longer studs, will I also need special lug nuts?Also what do you mean by 4x4 status? sorry im a bit of a noob

Some people think the Tein springs ride a little high in the front.

My question is, why are you ordering spacers for the front?

With that setup your front wheels will sit flush, and your rears may be a little sunken.

What offsets are you getting?

Trust me the tein springs are low enough for a dd in mountainous western MD!

I thought I needed spacers in the front with 17x9 +35mm wheels for clearance? It would be great if I didnt!

i dont know if that set up would clear your suspension, but if it does, im sure it would look weird with +20 up front and +35 in back.

[superflysr20]

that was what I was afraid of. Would equal spacers (15mm front and rear) cut it as well as look ok? Man im glad i checked this before I pressed submit!

The real question is, why are you are you ordering wheels with a +35 offset?

Personally I would go with a 17 x 9s with a + 20 all the way around.

You should check the fitment database.

mostly cause they were affordable lol... im really trying to get wheels and tires for under 2k

That should not be hard.

Try ordering wheels and tires separately. Vulcantire.com has really good prices on RT-615s, thats where I got mine from.

As for wheels, just keep looking. You should easily be able to get into an XXR for less than 2000 with tires, hell if you look hard, I would bet you could have them for 1000 with tires.

im looking at the 5Zigen FN01R-C 17x9 now... the offset seems to be better, do these rims have a lip I cant tell

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Not really. But they are one of the only good looking no-lip wheels imo.

They are WAY lighter than the sportmaxes too.

[superflysr20]

man... im looking for a relatively inexpensive 4 lug 17x9 wheel similar to the 962 style with an offset that will clear in the front with 235/40/17 tires all around... is there something that exists??!!

With a lip!!

[AZ89two4Tsx]

You know that Sportmaxes are already knockoffs right? If you want good wheels on the cheap, try looking for used ones. You can save ALOT of money if you get a good deal. Especially in these hard times.

[superflysr20]

very true...any place i can find some used ones online (ebay turned up nothing for me and it seems im always a year to late for the forum sales lol)
