are you on stock suspension dk102? the main thing with the offset is so that the front wheels clear the coilovers/struts. also the spoke desing will help out a lot if you have a z32 brake upgrade.

heres a good understanding on what type of offset you should be looking for zerothread/265282

everyone's definition of "flush" with the fender is different depending on other suspension factors such as camber. Also, ideal offsets are different from other cars. That dude that posted up his wheel specs for his s14 is irrelevant to what you need to look for.

I'd say do the suspension upgrade first and get wheels and tires later.

Get rid of the 4x4 ride height first.

I like the 5spokes because it show's off my z32's a bit more but the rims in that link are hot but the Bee*R's have more concave!

I heard those Bee*Rs are discontinued so you better find a place that has em soon. Last time I checked Rare Trick had them.

It's not easy to pull off B5s. You will need fender pulls for the rear and oversize fenders for the front. God looking side skirts, lip and rear valences will help too. They are for the ballers IMHO. Uras NS-01 or DT-05R are better and safe bet.

Don't forget TE37s...as common (and somewhat expensive) as they are, they're still nice.

I love the Bee * R's as well, but they are no longer making the 17's. The only ones they still make are the 18's which IMO are too big for the S13 chassis. I found the Hanbai's close in look to the Bee*R's just not available in white, but I figured I'd have them painted to match the car (either white if I keep the car white - I'm a fan of the white on white look like 94's car, if I paint the car black, I'm gonna change the top to tan and paint the rims to match the top color). Madcow .. if you find anyone still selling some 17" Bee*R's let me know.... I should have bought them last year, but bought the motorset instead...oh well..'

Last time I checked Rare trick didn't have them. RHDJapan had the 18's and when I spoke with Patrick, he said that he hasn't seen any in Japan even used for sale. I'm holding out hope.

And you're right 94. I'm putting JUN fender flares on mine.. like the old school look... the old IMSA Datsun look..

Have you guys noticed this? We always end up talking about B5, TE-37, DT-05R and NS-01 wheels whenever there's a topic about wheels. And at the end, we all say 'too expensive,' 'hard to find,' 'don't come in 4-lug' and 'not available'...etc

I wish ROTA made 17s of P45R and P45F in 4 and 5 lug pattern with some good offset 25-10 range. I bet 240 people will buy them like crazy. I saw a set on 350z in person and oh, man... they look way better than LM-GT4. Car was black and wheels were bronze.

so basically can someone find me a website where they have wheels that are below a 40 offset? Because I have been looking and have only found websites that have a 40 offset and above.

rbmotoring is a good place for used jdm wheels. If you want brand new wheels there are countless websites, group buys on forums, Ebay...

It depends on when they get containers of parts in from overseas.

why would we get mad? Were all here to help each other out and give suggestions and opinions whichever wheel size you end up getting Im sure you have your reasons for them so in the end who cares what some people say since your not buying your new rims to make the rest of us members happy. I really like all the suggested pics so far especially the b5's, those things look amazing.

post pics when you finish mounting your new shoes!

I'll get mad.

j/k dude - but seriously reconsider!

1. Also, RB Motoring is a little hard to navigate - but they got a good selection.

2. Also try takumiracing.com

3. and the best is my friends at R/T Tuning - ask for shawn and tell him you want the Greddy's.

PS: Yeah, we also do end up talking about the Bee*R's. I'm still on my quest to find a chrome set at a discount price.

RB Motoring has really good selection and good prices but you have to read the offset because sometime's they have these nice wheels but with retarded offsets.
