I was looking to maybe getting the MB Motoring rims the MB battles and would a 17x9 +30 offset be a good fit all around? Im sure ill have to pull/roll fenders. also what would be a good tire size all around. This would be for a s13 hatch with coilovers

+30 would be less than square in the back and might not fit up front depending on your suspension.

People usually run the 17x9.5 +15 instead.

Says the guy buying ROTAS... if you can get the lower offset ones which i think they discontinued that would fit better, but the +30 will be fine.

The battles actually aren't bad wheels. They look pretty good for the money too. Also consider the weapons. They are pretty good as well. As for offset, try the +15 offset ones. You'll be pretty flush with those.
