Sportmax 962 fitment

[newdude1]

I know this subject has been beaten to death. But I cant seem to find what is needed to fit these wheels on an s13 hatch? I want the wheels to be flush with the fenders, not sticking out or inside the fender. Im looking to run the 17x9 all around.

[ashibah83]

+20....but i dont think they make them in that size/offset.....spacers

[newdude1]

Well I know theyll need a spacer. But what size and will the 17x9 fit?

[adrianfromthecastle]

17x9 +35 is the lowest size the offer.

get 20mm spacers... thus making it a +15. With a subtle tire stretch and fender roll, it'll sit pretty flush

[newdude1]

Thanks adrian. What tire size would you recommend for the stretch?

[adrianfromthecastle]

225/45/17 or 235/40/17... I'd say choose one and go all around...

Would the the lug nuts fit with a 20mm spacer?

[adrianfromthecastle]

Would the the lug nuts fit with a 20mm spacer?

hell no... I don't recommend using anything thicker than 5mm on stock studs.

Either go the extended studs route...

or get bolt on 1-piece spacers

[newdude1]

would I be able to use these?

would I be able to use these?

Well I know the offset +20 is a good offset for an s13 and its sits flush. Would a 15mm spacer make it completely flush with a fender roll? Cuz Im thinkin that the 20mm spacer will sit the wheel out to much for my taste.

17x9 +35 sits "flush" but conservative depending on which tire you use. I say "flush" b/c depending on how low your car is will determine if you need a roll.









17x9 +35 235/45 BfGoodrigh G-forceand I would need a roll if I went any lower

[newdude1]

so did you need any spacers? And whats your suspension set up?

[Gabes13]

17x9 +35 fits fine out back with room to spare but you would def. need spacers up front to clear suspension. I have Rs*R springs/Kyb agx shocks and 17x7 +40 up front b/c I was dumb and didn't know anything about wheel fitment.

[smocan]

I had 9.5 all around with spacers, made them +20 and i thought they were pretty flush... The fronts stuck out a bit but I couldn't run anything higher than 20 because they would rub on my coils.

I'd say flush would be 17x9 +20 front, 17x9 +15 rear

[Gabes13]

^^^^ there you go OP

[240lookis]

17x9 +20 sounds like the way to go. too bad 962's aren't offered in a lower offset. i'd be all over them. sportmax should re-do they're lineup of wheels and they could get even more poor 240 owners to buy from them.
