front: 17 x 8 +15 rear: 17 x 9 +20

all are 4 x 114.3

does anyone have pictures of similar offset wheels on the S13? how flush are they? pull or roll fenders? and what size tires do you use? i plan on doing some auto cross & road racing with these, would this set up be optimal?

Check this thread out, it has most of the common wheel size and offsets used on all of the 240's with pictures included.

Those sizes are pretty conservative.

Depending on how big your tires you plan on running, you might need to roll your fenders.

But your car will still be far from flush or needing a pull.

I'm not for shadow offsets.

Sure, it will be close to the fender, but far from the real definition of, "flush".

This is CrimsonRocket of Zilvia's s13 running 17x9 +12.

The rims the OP wants is a little less than half an inch sunk further into the fender.



You want him to run 235/45? EWW.

No thanks.

Your definition of flush is skewed.

no my definition of flush is ........well, the definition of flush

straight from the dictionary4 a: having or forming a continuous plane or unbroken surface <flush paneling> b: directly abutting or immediately adjacent: as (1): set even with an edge of a type page or column : having no indention (2): arranged edge to edge so as to fit snugly

what you are referring to is great fitment, however Illegal in some states because the wheels are not completely under the fender, i understand what your saying with not being seperbly flush, however this IS flush

Some of you guys don't make any sense. Your definition of "flush" is retarded. My 18x8.5 +30 in the rear are FLUSH. If you don't believe me, come to my house and look. They actually even stick out a few mm, with NO SPACERS. Every pic posted in this thread is not "flush." The blue s13 with the Hanabi's is close but they too stick out a little.

And the only reason the s13 in the first pic has the rears under the qp is because he's running alot of camber, not because it's "flush". Some of you guys need to get your $hit straight. Yeah, wheels that stick out a little can look great, most do, but it's not flush.

those hanabis are not sticking out whatsoever, and 18x8.5 +30 is MAYBE flush with like 0 camber.

This is flush:



I like crazy camber sometimes but for someone that has a dd with expensive tires, I don't see the need. But hey, if you've got the cash and you want to do it, go ahead. And anyways, since when is 0 camber ugly? That's how cars SHOULD look unless you're purposely adding it.

i dont believe any kind of performance car runs 0 camber, unless you are talking about going in a straight line. with any kind of turning, have around 2 degrees of camber is good. it increases stability and handling to a certain point. i am running too much, so my ****s f**ked up, but i dont really care, my exhaust is also an inch from the ground. i dont care.
