Gotta luv offset questions....Anyways....

The car is a S13 coupe with Suspension Techniques lowering springs used for daily driving. Looking at a set of Kosei K1 wheels 15 x 7 with 205/55R15 ES100 tires or 205/50R15 Azeni Sport tires.

I'm trying to decide on offset. Should I go with +17 or +27? Will I have to roll and/or pull the fenders with either of these offsets?

Thanks for the help,-VA240

The standard offset would be 38mm for that fitment. A 27mm would be the better of the two options as far as clearance.

Grant, thanks for the reply. Anyone else with some input?

Thanks,-VA240

Edit: For reference the front wheels on this car are supposedly 15 x 7 +27 offset with a 205/55/15 tire.

I'm pretty sure there is at least 20mm of spacer up front.

That pic came from the following thread:

In that pic I don't think he's using a spacer, but there is another pic where I think he is using a spacer.
