Anyone need some new NITTO 215/35ZR18's?

I'd really like something a bit wider, so make me an offer on the tires OR a sweet trade for some bigger meats...

Yep - Think that's the plan.

Actually, I'm having 2nd thoughts about the 18's - No good tire sizes available... :(

and yes, 18's are too much for a mostly stock bodied S13.

Kosei's would look good but I don't think you can get very flush with them. Even in my definition of flush. Not the whack the "top of my tire is flush but the other 5" of wheel sticks out" kind of flush.

A good 17x8 all around with a +20 offset would look good, allow for good tire fitment thats on a budget (225/45/17 and 245/40/17 both are OEM sizes so tires are more abundant and cheaper), and be good looking.

Sold the 18's today (Anand I have a check for you), so i'm now looking for some 17's.

Alan, I like the idea of 245/40's. A lot.

Really want something like the ADR M-sport... :(

sup raj. glad you found the boards!

you could always get 16x8.5 26mm kosei and some 245-45-16 tires (TTZ rear size)w00t.

any good, light 17" proper offset wheel is gonna cost you AZ, be prepared.

you can find oz superleggera's in 17x8 for around 350 a rim. that is in a +45, +40 and maybe a couple more offsets. If you are looking for +22 offset check out some mustang forums, they run close to that.

they also have 5x114.3 like a nissan (cept they call it 5x4.5)
