well guys,heres another question for ya wheel fitment gurus..

on a s13 with 8" wide wheels, what would be the offset needed to keep things flush in the rearand 7" wide wheels in the front?flush, meaning not sticking out like crazy like the 15x8 0 e.t. on front, like few wheels out there.

also..*i do know the spoke design matters alot, but what is a rough estimate of offset needed to clear z32 brakes on a s13?*

thank ya fellers.

like a x8 +15 rear with a x7 +10 front or something if you want it like that

its really hard to say on the Z brakes, post the wheels first

Why not just run the 8's on all 4 corners? Theres really no need to stagger unless you want 9 or 10 inches in the back.

Hell, you can run 17x9 +20 all the way around.

Fo rizzle. I never understood why so many people want to stagger narrow wheels. The only time you really need to stagger is if you have the maximum size wheel on the front of the car.

a.k.a. 17x9 and 17x10 on an s13

But 16x8 +15 CE28's would be gravy...

basically, but i just wanted to know the 'flush' index.

i have 20 and 25mm bolt on spacers from the +42 crap im running right now.

Just do the math. Im assuming your current wheels are 17x7 +42.

Therefore, you are running 17x7 +22 and +17. Would you consider those flush? Flush is always up to the owner. If so, run 10mm spacers up front, and like 5mm spacers out back.

You could easily get away with 15mm and 10mm with a little fender roll..

yeah, i measured it on one of the stickies on the susp. subforum.fronts sit flush with +22 on an 8" i put stats adn whatever in for 7" and i can get it to sit flush at 7" for +7 offset.and the rears sit flush/ or same at about +12 @ 8"

i just saw realtime pics of the wheels i was interested in and wow they looked like ****..i might just stick with my 18s until i find a decent set to roll on.. cuz those looked like S H I T.
