Why wouldn't 18's fit? Assuming the correct plus sizing(unless a low enough profile tire is not available), a wheel width that will fit, and correct offset, there is no reason an 18 inch wheel will not fit an S13.

Perhaps, you can give us the entire wheel size and offset, and also the tire size you were using. That would give us a lot more insight as to WHY it wouldn't fit.

When you say Enkei you are encompassing a whole lot of wheels. I know I have seen some folks on here with 19's so if you cant get 18's to fit then you have a bad offset or too much tire. 18's are too big IMO anyways. But thats just me.

Well it doesn't really matter now. They were 5-lug and I don't feel like converting. I do, but I meant I can't AFFORD it.

I rolled one of the tires next to a front tire and it looked like it would barely clear the fender walls if it cleared it at all. That's probably the retarded measuring method though.

What other cars would have the parts needed to do the 5 lug conversion? I think I saw somewhere that Infiniti J30's, 300zx's, and S14 240's parts would bolt on. May take a trip to the junkyard within the next month if I can find some money...
