Can anyone guess the specs?

[simmode1]

I know they are LMGT4's. But I'm really bad at guessing diameter, width offset, tire size by just looking... Maybe you guys are better?

9.5 +30?idk but that looks good

[Rex]

My guess would be 25 or lower offsets, given the concave spoke design.

Yes, it does look good...

My guess would be 25 or lower offsets, given the concave spoke design.

I don't know how Rota accomplishes this, but +30 can be concave too...

Finally got em'. Can't wait to get these on.

I think after seeing Dammitboy's 17x9+30's P45R's with 255/40/17, these might similar. Maybe with a spacer up front, 7mm maybe.

Any other thoughts/ideas? Can anyone tell if they are 17's or 18's? Anyone think tire size may be close to what Dammitboy is running?

After recently watching this video, I'm thinking 255's must be the sweet spot for s13 tires. I mean, if they're good enough for 500hp+ Time Attack Silvia's, I shouldn't need to go any wider on my pos...

But we're not talking about Rota's are we??

Here's a thread with LM GT4's in 18 x 8.5 +25's that aren't concave. My guess would be once you go x 9.0 and have offsets in the 20's you get concave. See if you can find some for sale with actual pics to get a good idea.

Could be 18x9.5 +30, but 9.5 on the front of an S13 without over fenders isn't easy.

[simmode1]

Dude! Good job hunting that stuff down! Thanks!

but 9.5 on the front of an S13 without over fenders isn't easy.

Where there's a will there's a way!

I'm hoping it will be easier fitting 17x9.5 rather than 18x9.5. Plus, I don't plan on slamming the car or tire tucking when I upgrade to coils...

I think there's a certain aggressiveness if the front wheel isn't concave, but the back is. It's almost like saying the rear wheels are so big they bulge ... or something like that.

Kind of how the rears on this car are caved in more

[simmode1]

I can dig that, but I'm not into staggered fitment much. I'm a real symmetrical and orderly kind of guy... lol

I fell in love with the look of Bushido's setup, but wanted more funtionality than the stretched tires that he's running. So, until I wait for coils, i gather as much info as I can about proper fitment for the look & performance I want. This board and Zilvia's 'Maximum Rubber' thread have been really helpful...

Yea those are 18s. That dood got his hands on a full set of rears (9.5 all the way around). Looks like he had to use wide body fenders to fit the fronts but judging by the gas door, the rear fenders are stock. This is good news for me!

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Idk if you guys noticed but that blue hatch has widebody fenders on the front. So I'm assuming they're not staggered. I'd say around 18x9 +15 is close. Or 18x9.5 +30 as stated before.

I wasn't "sure" but it looked like it, and if not, I'm not sure how he'd get 9.5's on the front of a S13, clear the suspension and not be "poking"?!?!

It's all about offset! I've got pics of 18x10.5+18 all around on stock fenders. And I've heard that the optimal wheel and tire set up for s13's to maximize rubber was 17x10+23 265/35/17. But I have yet to find a wheel in that exact size...
