Im asking for you who are experience with s13 offsets.... I have 4 17x7

40+ and thinking about replacing it with some other rims like 5zigen fnor.

My other option is to buy spacers to push my 40+ offsets to about 35+ or

30+ for front and rear. Yes I will need to purchase longer studs and

spacers. What is a better to go for? Right now my rims sits inside my panel

and it looks korny plus what size of tires should i put on to make it sit flush

with some 17's? ..........> thanks

I would sell your rims and get some vintage rims. Dont go for some bandwagon 5zigens.

Shoot for 17x9 +20 or lower for the front

17x10 or 9 +18 for the 10 and +23 for the 9

I hope this helps.

Good luck finding wheels that size and offset w/ a four lug. My opinion, either do a five lug conversion and open yourself to a WORLD of wheel options (there are many inexpensive staggered wheels in great sizes - you'ld be surprised), or try and find some jdm wheels with a four and five lug pattern. This was what I did (I also got lucky finding these wheels) and it was the only way I could get 18x8/18x9 setup on my s13. Either way it might be a painful or expensive mission you're on.

This might help... if you HURRY! I think they are pretty sweet, especially for the price. Also, very rare. No one will be able to copy you, that's for sure.

Bandwagon or not, i'm getting the 5zigens. Why avoid it when they're one of the few 4 lug wheels with a correct offset and size. Add that they are affordable, lightweight and look nice, i'm sold.

Some of the parts for the 5 lug swap are hard to come by and when you do, you've got some idiot trying to rip you.

I didn't get the SR20 because everyone else was, it was what I wanted. Do you care about anyone's car besides your own?

....the chickens are hard to top (as far as 4 lug goes without crossing the pond).
