Inside clearance with WIDE wheels on S13

[Def]

I've got a pretty ambitious idea, but this is assuming outside clearance is NOT a factor. I repeat, do not have to worry about rubbing the fenders.

Would 17x10" wheels with a +12mm offset work on an S13 with coilovers(JIC, GP Sports etc.). I'm pretty sure a spacer will be needed up front, so a 15mm one should do it resulting in a -3mm offset. Not sure if the back will clear. It might need a 5mm spacer or the like.

So setup would be:

FRONT: 17x10" -3mm offset

REAR: 17x10" +12mm offset

Let me know if you guys think that will clear the inside part.

That setup would work fine.

17x10 +2 would work w/o a spacer in the front.

These will stick out a ****load... a 17x8 +30 is damn near flush on a S13, you got another 55mm sticking out. Thats a little more than 2", even aftermarket fenders are 25-30mm max.

So, you couldn't turn.

So will the 17x10 +12's work up front without a spacer? I'm thinking no or it will be VERY close based on what other people have said. Plus it seems the stock steelies are pretty close to the strut as is for how thin they are and there is only about 1.5 inches of offset difference between those pizza cutters and these steamrollers.

The outside clearance should be taken care of. Let's just say I'll probably smell like epoxy resin for a few days.
