i know i know.. these offset questions are asked ALL the time.. i searched around on a few forums to see if i can get pics of a s13 with wheels this size/offset 17 by 9 and 17 by 8 with +35 offset.. i know that offset is not that aggressive jsut wondering if it will clear coilovers and z brakes all around?? will i need to roll if dumped i think i would slightly.

i am thinkin rear will be fine and front need a 10mm spacer?? can anyone confirm.. or have pics of these sizes/offsets on there car.

thanks in advance.

You would most likely have to roll your fenders and the front I'm pretty sure you need spacers in the front.There is a guy on here with a green s13 hatch that has wheels with somewhat of those specs.Search for it in this forum (tires,wheels, brakes...) there is like 2 pages on it

word on the street is your 9 inch wheels with a 35 offset will rub if you have coilovers, thats only what ive heard, i dont know from experience, but i think it was anything over a +30 or so on a 9 inch will rub suspension.

edit: oops, i meant on front only, rear should be fine, i think your setup should work out

that car is fugly anyway.

Get some good, light 17x8 +22 all around, 225-45-17 and call it a day. YOu have a fairly neutral car, why compromise it by exagerating the understeer?.....

That said, this has been discussed quite a bit, in finium to be exact. Low down:

you'll probably need spacers on the front, epending on tire size and coilover/suspension setup...it'll be very close..rear should be ok.

Locking due to fairness.
