buy better offset

really are they on the car yet? and are not flush or your getting them and think the wont be flush?

I would think a 9 inch rim even at +35 would be close to flush enough.

I know my rikens are almost over flush(j/k not possible even put some 5mm spacers on it to see),anyways they are only 15x7 0offset some shots are under "mmm mesh"

Bolt-on hubcentric spacers and longer studs.

Not on my car yet, & +35 is all they offer. I really like these, And would like them to be flush. Here's a "rendered" pic of what they might look like, but this is a pic of black 18"s, I think they look fantastic on an S13.

17x9 +35 isn't to bad

just run 25 mm spacers all around that do some rolling and shazam

Here's a pic with 17" gunmetals.

15mm spacer

a 20mm spacer, some sweet camber, and some fender remodeling will make those babies flush as your toilet. Blang Blang!

thanks guys

gunmetal for the win in my humble opinion.

Indeed I was just being conservative.

Did you render the pic yourself? that's HOT!!!

A couple things you can do... if you run almost no camber in the rear (say just .5 negative), that will help out a bit, running a fatty sized tire so it doesn't look as tucked, then just a tiny sandwich spacer possibly (around 4mm-8mm if you are running stock studs), you'll be pretty close to "flush".

Flush is relative for most ppl, so all depends on you.

Camber settings do a lot tho.

When I had 18x9+20 w/ some stretched tires (225/40), they stuck out of the fenders a good 1" or so, increasing camber to about 2-2.5 degrees fixed that right up... so in your case, not running as much negative camber would "push" the top of the wheel out.

It could work, you just gotta make it work, GOOD LUCK!

Yeah, you could run zero camber if you want your car to handle like trash.

how did you do that picture? I mean what program and is that all you? if so, you're the man haha

about -.5, like I suggested if he wanted to go the "playing w/ camber" route, would still be w/in stock specs .

Thanks for the help guys, I'm teetering back & forth on what to do. I've got a 5 lug conversion ready to go for those wheels, but for sheer simplicity, thinking about doing some 17x9 +20 4-lug FN's. I know those will clear Z brakes.
