s13 17x8 fitment question

[Nu2ThESc3N3]

i know a couple people have answered but i was a little unsure before i go and order these wheels, will the 5zigen FN01R-C's in 17x8 +35 will work up front on my 90' hatch and clear the breaks and at steering wheel lock will i get any rubbing ?

Should work just fine. I run an 18x8 +37 (really close if not) up front. If it rubs, it'll be because of tire size. I'm assuming you're running probably a 225/50 or close?

x8 is no sweat. People run x9 all the time.

In your case, it's all about tires. +35 will sunken, so you want 10-15mm spacers to make it flush with the fender. I have 235/40 on 17x8 and tire rubs on fender liner, so I had to adjust the caster a little bit.

ok, soo 10-15mm spacers to make em flush wit the fender, and how many degrees did you adjust the caster ? thanx again guys as im VERY new to 240's, i just jumped in and need as much help as i can get ... oh and as of right now i dont have any tire size im set on, ideas are more than welcomed...

Not by much. Tire was rubbing when I had stock tension rods, so when I installed aftermarket tension rods, I made it shorter approximately 2-4mm. Rubbing was not serious at all, but it bothered me, so I had to take care of it. I could have used a heat gun to modify fender liner too.

This is 17x8 +38 with 15mm spacer, so offset is +23. Tire is 235/40 Falken.

why not just get the 17x9 +20's?

discount tire stoped making the 17x9 in the 4 lug.

[ashibah83]

[Nu2ThESc3N3]

i want to do a staggered set up that is why i dont go 17x9's ... and as far as tension rods go, i already have tein tension rods on the car... also what are a good brand of spacers to go with ? again thanx for the patience wit the noob questions...and are those the nismo volks ?
