i am in the process of buying wheels and springs. need some help.

i found a set of 5 spoke wheels with +30 offest . but they are 17s, i am not sure how they will look with stock bumpers and body panels. also i plan on powder coating them white. then last night i saw a white vert with volks that where white the look i was going for. i cant find the picture nor the thread. and i dont know if they where 17's or 16's

There's a thread at the top with links to build threadshttp://forums.nicoclub.com/zer...abase16 or 17 looks best on a stock exterior S13 to me, but its all personal preference.

Nice to see another Ohio resident on the forum.

Looks like Biggie has you pointed in the right direction here...

one little thing to mention.. You should realize that frequently the total size of a stock 15" wheel with a tall tire winds up being very close to an aftermarket 17" wheel with a lower profile performance tire. So if you are looking to see how much wheel gap you will have, realize that your aftermarkets might not be hugely different than what the stock ones look like.

And actually shouldn't be much difference at all if you want your speedo to be near correct.

Depends on what you consider your area. I'm in Monroe, so I'm in Toledo on the regular in the summer in a 5spd vert, its slow though.
