I know wheel fitment threads have been beaten an beaten time and time again. I have done my research but most of it was on my 300zx wheels. Now im picking up a set for my 95 180sx S13 and I just want the S-Chassis geniuses to re-assure my choices.

Im going to buy the new XXR 527 now what should sizes should i go?

A) 17x9.75 +25 REAR
17x8.25 +25 FRONT

OR

B) 17x9.75 +25 all around


The car right now is on coils and the previous owner in japan rolled the lip in but no pull. Im not looking to pull the fenders or run ridic camber in the rear. Just making sure they arent goin to poke out too far past the fenders.

Any info/help is much appreciated! Thanks!!!!

Option "A" will fit just fine with just about any tire size up front but the rears might poke a hair.

Option "B" would be cool, but I don't think think the fronts would clear the coils.

Option B hands down.
Should fit no problem. As long as you have coilovers.

I'd say A or C.... C being no sportmaxx But you dont need that wide upfront, slower turn response time.
