Help me out plz. I tried searching.

Okay im probably gonna get seriously flamed for this....but I did try searching and didnt get a definite answer. So hopefully one of you guys will be nice enough to answer this. First off, I have a s13 hatch and I need rims. 17x7? or 17x8? Im going to use the same size all round so i can still rotate my tires. Is there any *noticeable* difference in performance aside from getting a little better traction? Also, im planning on the 5Zigen FN01RC's. Yeah everyone has 'em but for good reason; light, decently priced, and looks good. It appears the 17x7's come in +35 and +42 offsets(my car is 4 lug). The 17x8's appear to only offer +35 offset. I want these rims to fit rather flush and clear my stock struts as well as my future coilovers. What width and offset(s) should I get for my car to achieve flushness? I would have no problem rolling my fenders but im not too much for pulling. If someone could please answer these questions it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Whoa those do look pretty cool. Only thing im afraid of is being able to afford tires. Gonna have to price em and see if i can swing it.

[boogerdawg]

Ouch. I definitely cant afford tires for those. lol So is there anyway I could fit a 17x7 or 17x8 up in there and it be flush? I am a total offset dummy. I have no clue when it comes to that stuff so....sorry. lol

why dont you save for some tires. the +35 offset is weakdoesn't hurt to wait.

[boogerdawg]

yeah true. I think I might just hold off on the whole rim thing for a while and pick up some stance gr pros, a B&M short shifter, and an exhaust.
