Nice. You DO need suspension! Looks like a 4x4!

What offset?

35 offset...

and now that they're exposed, my corroded calipers and rotors will probably have to go too... Time to apply for a new credit card... :D

Awesome.

What are the specs on the tires? I'm glad you got them because I wanted to see how they look on a s13.

Tires are yokohama avs es100's 205/40/17. They're a bit too small. 215/45/17's would've fit better, but I was too paranoid about the tires rubbing... :(

Well, I'll just burn through this set quick, I guess...:pface

Also, the back wheels could've been 17x8 with the same offset, so wider tires could fit.

nice.....i just bought a set (bronze), 17x8 and 17x9 with falken azenis 225/45/17 in the front and 245/45/17 in the rear.....

it look beefy, but lucky for me i have tein HE's. i had to raise up the car because the rear tires might get scratched up with the fender well lip, about 1 1/2 to 2 inches above the tire because of autocrossing.....

mine are Buddy Club P1, 17x7 +35mm / 17x8 +32mm

225 45 17 front/225 50 17 rear

the rear 50 series looks dope and is kinda stretched on the 8" wide rims, while having enough rubber to absorb impact of my coilovers... yet, it fills up the wheel well quite well, neglecting the need to excessively lower my coilovers.
