What are the available 17x9 +20, +15, +10 and lower rims out there on the market

[a_ahmed]

So go ahed and post pictures and information, prices, weights, etc...

I know for a fact 245/40/17 tires will fit nicely on a 17x9 +20 rim all around on an s13. Something with lower offset should fit even 255s. I don't want to run non-staggered setups, or 'drift' setups or whatever. Just non-staggered maximum grip and traction..

However, going through the net looking for 114.3 PCD 5 lug rims proved volatile. Mostly the 5zigens come about and thats about it... or ... very very very heavy garbage chrome pimp wanabe rims.

So shoot away.

Volatile? :

There's TONS of wheels out therre that meet your parameters. I'd recommend checking here to start:

Didn't we have a NICO member with these exact same wheels that got stolen from him?http://www.memoryfab.com/wheel...3023/

^^IIRC they were pink painted Enkei Racing S's. Car was a sexy black Zenki but I can't remember whose it was.

First thing that came to mind besides the 5 Zigen FN's are Gram lights or Falken Hanabi's (not 100% sure about the widths/offsets.) With 5 lugs though, you're more likely to find wheels with the lower offsets you posted.

...and I think you meant futile instead of volatile

Koya Drifteks. 17x9.5 +15

[yelnatsch517]

Lets start with some that are a bit more expensive shall we?

[nismofly]

unless your budget doesnt exceed $150 a wheel and you failed to mention that you mustve not looked very hard

if you want to run a 245/40 get like a 17x9 +15, +20 is more of a 235 offset

theres plenty of wheels depending on what you want to spend....post a budget

Not sure how much they run, you can get them in 17x9 with offsets between -10 to 35. Weight range from 9.2kg to 8.8kg depending on offset. I know for sure that Discount Tire is a dealer.

And another. Jspec.com has a set that are 17x9 +20 offset.

hahahahahaha i dont know why i said volatile, i meant futile lol. Thanks for the correction :P

There is a member on freshalloy and he is on here as well that has a 245/40/17 setup with 5zigen fn c rims which were 17x9 +20.. however he had some slight issues. However I guess, since it's been mentioned a +15 would be more desirable for such a fit in this thread... that would be a smarter fit for a 245.

So I would guess next that a +10 would be the only viable option for fitting a 255/40/17 non staggered setup all around (with the obvious need for overfenders or wider fenders or flares, etc...)

it was J-Z. i think he sold his s14, or atleast it was posted for sale and yes those wheels were stolen from him.

nah you wouldnt need flares

17x9 +10 and +12 are both available in a couple different wheels, and you can fit a 255/40 all around with that size

itll fit with rolled and pulled stock fenders

Those arent j-z's wheels. His were some kinda multi spoke Enkei's...

[Nick240sx]

your right, i wasnt stating those specific wheels were J-Zs, they were asking which member had pink wheels that were stolen from him, i was informing them that it was j-z. as for his specific wheels, i do not know what they were.

My 17x9 +15's with 235's (5 lug conversion hubs, not S14 5lug conv up front as that should change offset a bit more) and about as much pull as you'll get out of a front fender which turn out to be the same as my friend's 20mm flared fenders (flushness is the same with same camber and same wheel/tire):

[a_ahmed]

^Man I just absolutely love your car more and more that I read on it Keep us all updated on your project work in progress in your threads

Okay so my best bet is a +10 and +12 then for a 255/40/17 setup. What's out there at that size and offset?

Edit: I added you to msn I don't know how to pm on nicoclub theres no pm button that I see visible

Thanks bud... will definitely let you know when I have some updates... waiting on the snow to go away before to much more happens.

I wouldn't go much more than +15 up front if you want it to stay within a flush wheel to fender condition. Someone correct me if I am wrong... but I don't think you need another 3mm to make a 255 fit up front.

[nismofly]

believe it or not it helps

how much camber you running up front?

[rbsileighty]

But do you really need it?



There is a decent amount of room between the wheel/coilover and between the tire/coilover. I have two pairs of 255's in the garage... might throw them on and check if I can get time to run by and get them mounted.

Honest... I don't remember the camber setting to tell you and feel confident I'm right.

Updates?
