I'm looking into getting 16x8 sportmax 002 with 0 offset. the website says an s13 requires a minimum 35mm offset. I'm 100% oblivious to wheels, but I'm picking up a little along the way, do I need a 35mm spacer to meet the "minimum requirement"? Or do they really fit and the website is wrong?

spacers subtract offset, im not sure wtf theyre saying when they say 35 minimum, just makes it apparent that the site is run by retards

but if youre getting the 8 +0 you dont need any spacer

not 65, please dont do that

id probably do a 205/50 myself, and you might want to do that regardless because itll make fitting the wheels easier
