Well my wheel plans have changed once again . Instead of the 17x7's.... i found a deal on some 18x8.5F and 18x9.5R's. Before you flame me i dont care about performance at all... i wouldnt be buying these pieces if i was. Its for my s13 vert and the thing says its made for s13's. Anyways.... what size tires do i need to fit on 9.5" wheels? Im thinking a 255 would get it but my friend said i will need bigger. So im thinking 225-235 up front and 265+ in the rear. Sound about right?
Also do i need to worry about sidewall height because the car is not lowered at all.

I think those will hit the struts in front. You need a lower offset or use spacers. Who said they were made for the S13? Did someone actually have these on their car?
225/45 and 255/40 should give you a nice stretched look.

Re: (nab911)
i doubt you can fit 245 in the front on s13. run 225 in front and rear too. or if you want staggered tires 235/245 in rear.
Re: (SoCalSilvia)
you can run 255 in the front if you do it right. and yea thats what i said 255s will fit 9.5s fine. itll almost be a square sidewall, maybe a little stretch depending on the brand of tire.
