Best offset for good flushness on S13...

[andrewdees]

Soon buying the 5Zigen Fn01RC for my S13 w/ coilovers. With a 17x8 up front and a 17x9 on the rear. Whats the lowest offset I could run without rolling the fenders. I believe the 17x8 come in +25 and the 17x9 come in +15.

Question 2 - How do these rims clear the Z32 brakes?

thanks

The tire size will affect flushness somewhat. I am running the same sizes, just different offsets. +22 up front and +27 out back. The front tire is 225/45 and the rears are 245/40. My wheels are to the sticking out side of flush, if that makes any sense.When looking at the car straight on, the wheels are just past the fender line. I have no rubbing up front, and the rears required me to bend in the lip a little. Let me figure out how to post pics so you can get a better idea.

get the 17x9s all around

i take it youre 5 lug from the offsets you listed, so get the +15 all around, and run a 235/40/17 tire

-2 camber front, -1.6 rear, give or take a few tenths depending on your fender work

So thaaaaaats how you do it.Anyway, this is a sideshot and a down shot of the rear. Sorry these are old pics.

So the 17x9 +15 up front will give me no rubbing or will I need to finesse the fender a little? Im sure they will fit in the back with no rubbing. I would like to run the same size tire/wheel at all 4 corners so I can still rotate. Would the +15 offset on the front make them "frog" out to the sides of the fender or will they sit nice and flush? I dont mind a little rolling of the fender if I have to.

Also would there be any clearance issues when I upgrade the F&R brakes?

Thanks!

you should be good to go with z brakes...

but roll your fenders anyways... use a baseball bat and hammer if you need to... er else you'll chop up your tires with every hard turn you do

[andrewdees]

Okay sweet, and those wheels will clear coilovers with those offsets and widths right? I just wanna make sure before I buy that they will fit. thanks
