ok .. so i got my wheels on ... without spacers in the rear the rim (not tire) rubs on the inside when suspension is compressed .. and they didnt fit in the front .. so i got 25mm kics spacers (nice btw) for all corners .. why .. dunno .. could of used smaller spacers but i didnt .. and i got all four cuz it would look stupid if the front stuck out more then rear .. anyways .. now they stick out more then they need too .. barely as u can see in pic which i could fix by using stock springs .. but i like the Jun flares .. so heres a pic and tell me do u think the flares will be too much ?? oh btw wheels are 18x9.5 +35 offset .. excuse the dirt all over the car .. i live in New Mexico and its been raining and windy .. not good mix

Measure how much they stick out. Looks like around 30mm to me, so it should be perfect. That is badass that you managed to get 9.5 inch wide rims all around o an s13

I think they will look fine with the 30mm fenders because the fenders are going to extend by a little over an inch and it looks like your front wheel sticks out about an inch and a half (more or less) from the fender. On the back it doesnt look like the wheel pokes out that much so maybe you can get away with rolling and pulling your fender

yeah but it will look really goofy if he gets fenders for the front and not the rear.

lost daylight to take pics .. id get something to adjust camber .. but then id go thru tires every 4 months .. it rather have a near stock camber and flares .. ill get pics up when i wake up .. ull all see how much they stick out .. not much .. i measured .. bout 1/2 - 3/4 inch .. so like 20 to 30 mm overfenders or flares will suffice .. but i cant decide what to get.. heh

what about 30mm for the front and a 20mm for the rear? That might look nice because I don't think you would notice 10mm in fender especially if the rims fit flush with the fender

im interested in overfenders.. but thats a pretty penny just for rear and front .. i figure flares are cheaper and i can get all four at once .. im just worried that 30mm might be too much .. any other company make Jun style flares in 20mm ???

damn it looks like you have a bit more tire/wheel than you can handle. What width tires are you running(just out of curiosity) Why don't you just measure exactly how much the tires stick out, and use that much of a flare, or more or less depending on your flushness tastes.

Are you going to cut the fender if you get some flares? Cause if not you are not going to be able to lower the car much without rubbing.

BTW very nice paint on your car.

225/40/18 all four .. i think im just gonna get 30mm flares .. i cant really find any other ones .. ive only seen the jun ones and the ones BOMEXS13 has .. but as far as i seen Jun only makes em in 30mm dunno what brand BomexS13 used .. i forgot but maybe that company does different sizing .. ive been google'ing it but havent found nothing really .. widebody i can find .. but that stuffs step .. like em tho ..

Edit: LOL! the paint remark .. was that sarcasm? :P see why im trying to get all this done before i paint it .. its got white road paint all over it .. suck .. and doors are off another car .. but i still want to replace them cuz they have rust .. the rest of the car doesnt have rust tho .. thats 1+ to living in NM ... not a big + tho lol

damn those wheels look big on that car! I also noticed your tires are stretched. but you definately need some flares or something to make the fender flush with the wheel.Looks nice though

looks like if you added a bit more rear camber you would be good in the rear. fronts will need some flares. and yeah, barum tires are absolute crap.

The Rear is fine... The Front is just Plain Retarded.

The problem with the front is that its sky high with 0 Camber... at the most all you'll need is some +20s which are like 200$ off ebay.

You picked the wrong offset/widths .

W/ those rims you won't be able to run coilovers w/o a spacer in the front. Shoot, it may be even close w/ kyb's in the front. I'm actually quite amazed 9.5 +35 even fits the front and not rub the suspension, HAHA.

Like chmercer said, you gonna need to run some mad camber, HAHA.

They are 9.5 +35? He must be running a spacer already for that to clear. My 8" +35 wont even clear my coilovers.

Ah yes, my bad... I just reread and he got 25mm spacers.

Spacers = eeewwwww.

In that case, he should be "fine" w/ whatever suspension he gets...
