Ok, here goes...I'm in the middle of my vert build. I'm looking for wheels that will fit under my 20/50mm wide fenders. I've searched and searched, viewed the fitment sticky (even posted my coupe) but I cannot figure out a good offset for my setup. I'm gonna be running Tein Super Drift suspension, Z32 26mm front brakes and swapping to 5 lugger. I was looking into something along these wheels here: They are 18x10.5 -19 and 18x12.5 -10. Does anyone with good offset knowledge think that these wheels would fit with the correct ride height and camber settings? Just a side note, I will be tubbing the front fender well and cutting out the rear quarter panel.

Grant, you seem to be the one around that answers most of these questions, any input?

Maybe part of my post was not clear enough. When I put 20/50mm wide fenders, I was implying that I have 20mm fronts and 50mm rears. Sorry if I was not clear on that.

Pretty radical fitment for an S13, but since you said you're tubbing the fronts, it sounds like you know what you're doing.

Good-looking wheels, if you can pull it off!

i dont think theres any way with just a 20 up front...youd have to massage the fender a lot, run a ton of camber, and even then itd be close

koguchi power makes a 50mm front overfender, and that would fit really nice with those wheels

the rears will be nice with a 50, nothing to worry about there

might look funny with 50 front and rear, if you decide to do it you could get 20mm spacers for the rears and get bn sports or koguchi power 70mm overs

Make 20mm front overs into 35mm or something like that. But damn those wheels would look sick on a 240.
