Hey I got 17x9 +35 for my s13 all around. I understand that I will need spacers to make these clear coilovers. I got K-sport coilovers. I have the wheels but not the suspension yet, so I want to order some spacers soon so I will have them when I need them.

Can anyone tell me definitively what size spacer I will need to get the wheels to clear the coils in the front? What size tire would you reccommend on the fronts so they will be as flush (to the wheel width0 as possible or slightly stretched?

I have been told 17x9 on s13 front needs 20mm spacer and 225 tires.

The rears clear stock suspension, but does anyone know what size spacer and tire would be good on the rear?

Appreciate it.

run 235/40 tire all around, 15mm spacer up front will let you clear, then whatever you want in the back, because itll stick out a lot farther in the front without anything

maybe a 15 front and a 20 rear

where do you reccommend getting spacers from? I see them for sale all over the internet and some are cheap, some are expensive.

I was told just to get them from the tire shop and that I shouldn't need extended studs unless I go over 20mm.

Id go with 235/40's and 15 mm spacers all the way around.

As far as spacers go, get some H&R's. They are hubcentric, and already have the studs built in. Theres no way you should run a 15mm sandwhich spacer on stock studs.
