I just had a customer call with an S-13 looking for information on wheels/tires. He has 35mm flares and wanted to know what sizes and offsets would be possible. We've never done any cars here with modified fenders etc... I was at a loss and could not give him the information he needed. Anyone running flares out there? What kind of setup are you running for tires/wheels? The car has the five lug conversion by the way... He was looking for a track setup with 17" wheels/tires. I'm assuming he got my number here so I thought I'd try to get some answers from those here with more experience with that type of setup. Please post photos as well!

grant, e-mail me with his specifics, like mods, etc the SSR GT and intergrals in a 17x8" +20 or 25,, front and a 17x9.5 or so rear in a 30mm offset should work wonderfully.

with a 35mm flare, he could actually run 18x9" front in anything less than a 20mm offset, although a 20-22mm may fit, but it would more tahn likely cause scrubbing issues, especially with coilovers. He could run a similarly wide wheel, a 10" rear with those flares in a 25 or so offset and it should work great, allowing a split, or just run the 9" all around with some 265-35-18's or so....or evne(my preference) a 255-35-18.

anyways,. hit me up with what hes looking for you, I'll help you sell him some stuff.haha-chet
