Found a set of CE28N in 18 x 9.5 +28 for all 4

I have 30mm Z32 front calipers, will these wheels clear and fit under the stock front & rear fenders?

Thanks in advance!

The front could be possible with spacers. and a bit of work.

The rear is easy.

17x9.5 +15 is my limit on the front. after that it either looks stupid or you have to start tubbing stuff.

I'm not trying to be offensive, but I think this sizing is going to look a mightbit of crap on an S13 chassis... its just not meant to fit, and it won't eventuck properly... these are not wheels for a stock body set up.

18x9 +15 looks decent.

I think its definatly possible if you spend alot of time rolling the fenders, run alot of camber and play with what size spacer to run.

yes it is if you are ok with rolling and pulling a rear fender for 20mm and you have adjustability all the way arounfdin the rear. its just a simple bolt on with that set-up. the front is a different story. I would say no to using that width and offset in the front. if its going to be a stock fender, I would go with a 8.5 and about a 35mm offset and maybe need a lip roll depending on tire size, ride height and camber...

i have the exact rim w/ 265/35/18 on the rear of a 89 coupe. its a little work to make the rear fit but the thin lips are the shizzy.

excuse the motorola V505 pic... ill update soon with the new lips...
