Of those wheels?They don't even come in 17x8

Whatever wheel though, Keep the offsets in the teens.

i know fitment on the s13 pretty well and ideally the best fit wheel are 17 or 18 by prefference x 9 with a zero offset to +10 anything wider than 9 should adjust the offset as needed i.e. -12 or so per extra inch

s14's can rock 18s pretty well but 17s would still look good

i agree keep it in the teens and maybe run a spacer if its over +15

ah you are correct. for those particular wheel i'd have to go 18x9,but those tenzo's were just an example, i liked that particular paint scheme

yeah offset makes all the difference

i mean you can use spacers to compensate but thats only for mild fitment "fine tuning" IMO

i.e.

i have xxr 002 16x8 +0 offset with a 7mm to "flush it out"

still isnt flush enough!! thats why i reccomend the 17x9 plus 0

had to do it

start on page one, and work your way through it all. you will be much more knowledgeable about wheel fitment (offset, width, diameter, tire sizing) afterwards.

that is what i did. i swear if more nico people even read 30 pages of it, this forum would have so much less cluttered bulls***.

So many people that dont know anything about offsets

Offset is so important.

As well as you generally want at least an 8-9" wide wheel on these cars minimum.
