I have seen some wide tires on some cars in Japan. I khow that most are set up for drift and have fully adjustible coilover struts. Does anyone know the back spacing? Does anyone make flaired front fenders for the S13?

there are a few places that make fat fenders for the s13. cant thinkof any off hand.if i'm not mistaken our regular offset is like 40mm.you dont HAVE to have/use coilovers for big wheels. i would imagine something like 18"x7". then use 3mm spacers upfront and like 6mm in the rear. that'll keep your inner tire from rubbin against the spring seat. (this is with just drop-springs)coilovers are smaller in diameter and will give you a little more clearance. read the Sport Compact Cars lates project Silvia. they provide us with usefull info.hope i could help a little
