Ok peeps I have a situation here, maybe you guys and gals might be able to help me out. I have a 1990 coupe that is getting painted and the body kit installed. The front fenders are 20mm wider, they are version select ones. Now the rear is 30mm wider. I my first choice is to get some rota D2 wheels. Now on the Rota wheels site, they say they have 17x8.5 offset +20,+25,+30,+35,+40,+48. what would be the best wheel choice for my s13....I defenetely want in the rear 17x8.5 but also I want it to fit flush, or as close as possible. What offset should I get, will i need spacers?, in the front I want to run 17x7.5. Now theres another option the rota p45r they are 18x9.5 offset +30 and they also have for the front which is the p45f and the size is 18x8 offset +48. So again what wheels/offset would be the best for me. Any help is very much appreciated, seeing that im a dumba$$ when it comes to choosing the right wheel size/offset. Any pics would help a million aswell. Thank you! o yeah, a side note here, im tooo poor to afford any work or ssr professor wheels, hehe!Rota Site http://www.rotawheels.com/wheels.phpheres a pic of the s13, i was bored and i "terst fit" the body kit! heheh

no no and no on your wheels sizes, if you want to run 17's run 17x10 +0 to 10 offset in the rear, 17x9.5 front +0 to +10. you will not be able to find these wheels from rota, i suggest gram lights, ame, work, ssr. widebody with cheap wheels looks half a55. do it right and you won't regret it

Im running the Rota D2's. I have 17x8.5 +25's all the way around on STOCK fenders.

That means you should be looking at 17x8.5 +5 and 17x8.5 -5 for the front and rear. Thats not going to happen with Rotas.

Play around with the offset caluclator and youll see that you can run MUCH wider wheels than 8.5 with 20/30mm overfenders.

What ever happned to buying wheels first, and overfenders second? I thought the whole point of widebody was to fit wider wheels, not the other way around. Dont get the fenders if you arent going to get some baller *** wheels to fill them up.
