Hi. Yes I've searched, and I just want a clear answer.

I have a S13 Fast back and I'm willing to roll my fenders or whatever needs to be done to get em to fit in a staggered setupI've thought about getting 30mm over fenders, but if I dont need them, I'm not gonna bother to get em. I will be running coilovers, but I just need to know if they will fit. Yes, I know they will bolt on.

Prefered Setup- - No idea if it would fitFront Rims :- Sportmax 006 Wheel Rim 18x8.5 4x100/4x114.3 +35 offsetRear Rims:- Sportmax 006 Wheel Rim 18x9.5 4x100/4x114.3 +35 offsetAlso comes in 7.5

-or-Rota D2's But I have no idea what sizes they make them in. The site I'm getting them off of is giving me a discount and they only show this which isn't discounted yetRota Wheels - Set of 4 - D2 17x8.5 Price: 935.00 CAD779.17 USD

The site that I'm getting them off of only has specific sizes available and I'm not sure if they come in custom offset, so I just want to see if I can work with what I have.Before you guys get mad, I did the thinger on the 1010Tires site and I dont get it.

Inner Clearance: 34mm LESS (the inside of the wheel to the strut housing)Outer Position: EXTEND an extra 54mm (position of the outside edge of the wheel)

Would these fit on my S13? Max Tire Sizes?Would I need Over Fenders? If so, How wide?

I have the basic Idea and the shops around here are being dumbasses, so I just want a confirmation on this.

Thanks!

If you want to run the staggered sportmax's, youll need spacers to clear up front. Id run a 10mm spacer all the way around to help make the wheels flush.225/45/17245/40/17or235/40/17255/40/17

With the Rotas, run the 17x8.5 +20 or +25's (depending on which ones you can get) all the way around. I have the +25's on the white hatch in my sig.225/45/17or235/40/17

Let me know if you need anything else bro. You can contact me via email also if you have any specific questions on my setup.

I did a little more searching and I came across this thread where masterteque is running the same setup I want. Size/offset/widthhttp://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=242000

And he seems to only need to run a spacer in the front. I've heard that spacers are sketchy so I was thinking about running 9.5's all around :p

Too bad they don't stick out like a sore thumb. I was kinda hoping I could run Fender flares with these haha. Wait.. say I had pretty mad tyte camber (2.5/2.0 or something) and I had the 30mm Fender flares, would it have a shadowing effect? What if I had near stock settings?

Thanks!Ps: I'm not going for the Rota's since I've already spotted 2 other Red S13s with them.
