would dis have good fitment for my stock s13, Ive read the whole thing on offsets and widths of the rim and everything but im not experienced enough to figure it out for my self, so for the guys who know and can just figure this out on the top of there head do you think they would look good? i know you shouldn't go and buy rims that you know wont fit right so just wondering. thanks

i have to be nice since i was in the same boat a while ago and was helped by simmode1 (p.s. thanks ) so i feel i should pass it along.

first http://www.tirerack.com/wheels...d=101this will teach you about wheel offset and how to measure it.

second, +30anything will have pretty terrible fitment. they won't be flush with your fenders.i'd say people average +15 to +25 but people go way crazy - depending on if you want to roll/pull or go wide body. i could be wrong but maybe people will want to chime in.

last... most people will probably scold you for spending money and not getting wider tires? 8 is good but maybe 8 all around or even 9-10.

hope that helps.

i think i saw you last night driving lol

anyway like the others said, you usually wanna stay around say a +20 offset on a 8 inch wide wheels for easy fitment without having a sunken wheel. This is not to say that those wheels won't look good on your car but they won't be flush with the fenders.

I had a set, they're the lightest wheel I've ever seen. They are sunken a bit though. They're old wheels too, I miss mine just for the brand and rarity.

Yeah depends on the tire size. I have 17x9+35 rears for the sole reson of putting 285 40 17's on them without pulling the fender, just a lip roll

get some 20mm spacers and you will be set, those wheels are dank, I used to have a set, and I want to get some more. They are very light wheels.

lol hm i don't think that was me revving at you...but yeah a lot of ppl know where i live cuz of my car being parked out front.

next time you see me or my friends don't be afraid to say hi, we are really chill

and to stay on topic, camber plays a big role in fitting wheels under fenders...I have ridiculous negative camber in my rears just so I can fit the big tires under the fenders without them rubbing but I'm gonna have my fenders rolled soon so i can posi camber them out a lil and not chew my tires up.

Again with those size wheels, they will be sunk but you can get them flush with some spacers...maybe a 15-20mm?

they're not oem. They're pretty old so they could have been used on early s13s. Also fit on corollas.

i like them. they are sort of weird being a 6 spoke design instead of the usual 5 but i think it will set it apart more. much better than the ones way ^^^^^^ there

10 inches isn't too wide and won't slow you down. Now, if you're still running stock power with tires wider than 255, now that will slow you down. I have seen 18x10.5+12 all around on an s13 with stock fenders. It was sexy as hell.

That 16x8+20 will work though, and look better that most might think too. It's pretty close to my current setup: 16x8.5+27 225/45/16. It's alot closer to flush than you might think.

Why?

Do you have a hammer? Does your mom have a blow drier?

If so, you can roll your fenders. Its really not that hard, and it turned out great for me. Just do a little work on your car so you can properly fit some wheels. Do it right the first time.
