would probably get a better answer from the wheel/tire/suspension forum. but hey i'll do what i can. there are people running 10 on the rear with little more than a fender roll, and slight stretch on the tire, and maybe some camber on s14's. i dunno aboout the s13.

much of this information can be found by searching the forum though.

10" wide is not practical.

Search the forum.

I also plan on running 10's... but haven't really looked into this much yet. All I know is that it's possible.

Anyone with 10's care to chime in?

I don't have 10's but I do know that It can be done. Depends on what offset you are running, stretching tires, rolled fenders, camber. Combinations of these will allow them to fit. s14s have a lot more room under the fenders than s13s.

17x10 +25 will need about 2 degrees of camber and a 20mm Pull to not stick out... thats on a 255+ sized tire too.

The fronts would need quite a bit more work though.

I'm not too fond of rolling the fenders. But I guess it depends on how much.

Anyone got pics of some 10's on an S13? I want to see the fender rolling action.

I was either gonna get them rolled or get flares. Id go 10in in the rear and like 8 in the front and still deciding on the offset. WHat would be the best looking offset for the rear?

Hahahahahah Are you serious? an 8in wide rim would need like -70 offset to need +50s.

You shouldnt need flares. However, 2in of stagger is kinda wack, I'd either man up and get the 17x9 +15s for the front or do 17x8 +25 in the front and 17x9 +15 in the rear.

17x9 +15 on the front is doable on rolled pulled stock fenders with a 235/40 tire... if you wanted to use a 255/40 you would need over fenders though.

I dunno what he was trying to do in the front since the 9 +15 will fit on stock fenders and those arch flares look kinda trashy, but whatever.

those are 10 +25 in the rear.

I met a guy this weekend with FN's on a S13. He had 17x10 +20 in the rear with 235's and 17x9 +15 225/45 in the front. No idea how much camber he was running. He had a SLIGHT roll. You could probably use more camber instead of the roll.

EDIT: I just looked at 5Zigen's site. There is no +20 listed for 17x10. Its either +12 or +25. I betting he had +25...
