buying rims,whats the best offset

[bobbyhill]

i want the rims are gram lights 57s rim,these are the two i was thinking of getting.17x8.5+22 all four rims and 17x8.5+30 front,17x9.5 +12,22. i am open for suggestions too.i want my car's rims to look like this.

[turbo2nr]

i love those rims to they are my dream rims, i would go with 17x8 +22 and 17x9.5+15.. with a gangsta roll out back. those rims are the sex...

[whiterps13]

Definately get the 8.5 +22's in the front.

In the back, it really depends how much you want to roll the fenders and if you want to stagger or not. Staggering is really overrated these days, you cant rotate your wheels and it really serves no point in performance. Personally, I would run the 8.5 +22's with a 225/45/17 all the way around.

Absolutely not. A 1.5 inch stagger would be murder on the understeer-prone 240, and if you MUST stagger, the rear offset should be higher to make up for the width so the wheels sit the same.

17x8.5 +30 vs +22

the +22 will get you 8 mm more clearance and will stick out 8 mm more

probably will be a bit flusher

17x9.5 +22 vs +12

same deal as the 8.5 but its 10 cm more inner clearance and sticks out 10 cm more

if you want flush flush

front 17x8.5 +22rear 17x9.5 +22

[Kouki Chick]

The closer to 0 and the further away from 45 the better

The ideal fitment without needing spacers to be flush would be..17x9+15and 17x10+25

Not on an S13.

Bingo! I'm glad somebody said it before I could.

An S13 fits that easily with an hour of work.

I disagree. I wouldnt say 17x10's are an easy fit by any means. Not everyone wants to take the risk of buckling their quarter panels to fit wheels that are bigger than necesary. Plus, those sizes arent even in his list of options anyways.

If you want to play it safe, go 17x8.5 +22 with 225/45/17's all the way around.If you feel the need to stagger, run the 17x9.5 +22 with 245/40/17 in the back.

[nismofly]

you cant get a good stagger from gram lights, offsets wont line up

just do 17x8.5 +22 all around with 235/40/17 tires and youll be set

[bobbyhill]

would you have to roll the fenders and will they stick out the fenders

I've got 8.5 +25 all the way around on my s13. They do not stick out past the fenders, but they aren't sunken by any means either. Rolling the fenders depends on what kind of suspension setup you're running and how low you are. I had to roll the rears, but not the fronts.

[gabossie]

I run 17x9 +22 all around and it sits nice and flush. Must roll the fender, but not pull them. Don't stagger!

[bobbyhill]

do you have any pictures of your car so i can see the rims

[whiterps13]

Mine are also 17x8.5 +25 with a 225/45/17 all the way around. I have a slight roll on all 4 corners, but I run very modest camber.

so your saying sr vs ka is ka more boost but rod throwage?

[Juujai]

17x9 +15 requres 3-4deg camber without bashing the car like a retard with the fender roller. which i don't understand why because lower offset doesn't increase lip at all. so you'd be just purposely bashing your fenders for fun to make it look ugly

the best sizing imo is somewhere like 17x9 +22 if you want a 9 width. the only way an s13 can fit 9s up front is with camber no other way unless fenders are modified.

8s front 9 back is more proper.
