yup, 14x6 with a +10 or something like that. 205/60-14 tires, clears brakes and coilovers, looks like it may rub the fenders when the suspension compresses. also, did you know that tanabe sustec pro ss coilovers use kyb dampers?

alan, tell porschephile to look at this thread - he wanted to know what these wheels looked like on an s13.

clears stock brakes i was a little concerned about that. i'm hoping they will clear the bigger 180sx brakes, but i don't have those yet so it doesn't matter.

wheels are from a 280zx, i bought them because they have good tires and were cheap.

i also have:4 15" se 7 spokes, 2 with good tires2 16x7 +30 gram lights, with tires2 16x8 +38 gram lights, tires destroyed. clear coilovers on rear, came with car, offset sucks 2 15x7 +15 advan oni's2 15x7 +25 longchamp xr4s

Doesn't look bad but how does it drive? Around corners I mean.

it drives great, like a cadillac.

i haven't driven it very much, but it feels pretty good around corners. the steering feels like **** when going straight. seems overboosted and very light, but once you start to turn it tightens up

gound clearance pic: (that's a 12oz soda can directly underneath the exhaust)

drove about 240 miles today according to the odo (odo and speedo seem very optimistic, tires too short). only rubbed once on a big bump, also 8/6 spring rates are not very stiff.

i can tell you from experience those wheels will not clear anything larger than the non-ABS S chassis brakes. I was gonna run those at the february auto-x for my racing tires, and ended up having to swap back to my streets because the fronts wouldn't clear my calipers. The interference is so minute, I didn't catch it till I started moving the car and heard a loud grind.

hehe...I had a set of those on my AE86. I always wondered what they'd look like on an S13.

I really like that look. To bad the clearances aren't great.
