Offset Experts Needed!

[lococabbag3]

Ok so I have a 90' S13 Hatch and someone offered me a set of Tenzo R's for $335 17X7s but im not so sure about the offset. He said they were something like 45 or so something high. What should I be looking for? Is that too shallow?
Thanks guys lmk

Those are the wheels on a 240

17x7 +45 look terrible, i had the exact same size wheels on my s13 when i bought it.... and 7" isnt wide enough

whats a good offset i should be looking for?

.....stop now.
search?
.....and basically yes, that size and offset SUCK...it's going to look very sunk, battleship sunk...titanic sunk.
17x7...youre going to be wandering into double digit neg. offset to look normal...so, no luck with that.
17x8...you want around a +0 or less...17x9 anywhere from +0 to +25....

i mean, use google...ex. "s13 wheel fitment thread and whalaa...theres a bunch on information.

i mean damn, effort IS required dude.

I know I dont know really anything about wheels so I figured just asking would be fine.

thank you!!!!

[badbob2121]

yes rimtuck.com is pretty sweet, since you dont know much about wheels, i assume you will need help with tires, and it can help you with tire sizing too...

Get 17x9.5 +12 or +15 anything with a higher offset than that or less of a width is going to be terriblly disgusting.

4 lug you can go with Rota Grids or P45R
5 Lug there are a lot more choices.
