Hey guys, if I am not mistaken the R33 wheels are 17x9. I know they can go in the rear but can a 9" fit in the front of an S13 car? I know there was one guy with a Sil80 that did it, but did he have to fab anything or did they fit well? The wheels are +30 offset I believe..

yeah I am pretty excited about getting them. The wheels are going on a 91 Gunmetal Grey hatch. What color should I powdercoat them? I was thinking a dark grey color but then I was thinking that might be "too grey", so now I am leaning towards bronze...

yeah that is what I am thinking. If you look above at the pic I posted above, the two grey cars that are beside the black car. that is the color of my car. However in the future I will probably paint it the Gunmetal Grey that is on the R32 Skylines...like this
