I did a search on different offsets and noticed a thread with the Work Equips and Meisters in 17x8 +30, 17x9 +35. I was looking into getting the VSXX's in the same offsets and was wondering if they fit the same. Would they clear Z32 brakes and Stance GR+ coilovers on my S13 with or without spacers?

1st off, lemme just say that offset is almost always irrelavant to brake clearance. Its all in the spoke design, its different clearances with different wheels.

but the 17x8 +30 sounds like it would hit, and if it doesnt, it'll be close. Usually work's 3 piece wheels offer 2 faces, if you have that choice, chose the face that offers the bigger brake clearance (well obviously). And honestly, I'd recommend going with a smaller offser, preferably +10 with that 17x8.

my wheel recommendation size if you want an 8/9 stagger:17x8+1017x9+15just my 2 cents

This that a real noticable offset, could you maybe get a pic? I want a nice offset, but not real big. Maybe enough to not have to roll my fenders or roll them just barely.

what is "just barely" roll...theres only about 1/2" of space to close up

and for the sizes he said youll only need a roll, no pull and a tad bit more camber
