Dude I don't want to be an *** but search this has been cobered many times before.If you want there is a wheel pic thread on zilvia.net check it out to get a feel of what sizes look like what.If I were you though I would rock a 17/18 stagger for the win

17/18 stagger is retarded, the only point of this is if you have no aero and want to put your car about an inch from the road. most people do it because they are too lazy or just plain too unskilled to fit their wheels nicely.

17 or 17/18 for no aero (if you are slammed, if you are just kindof lowered might as well get 18s)

18 or 18/19 for aero

(on s chassis)

if you ever want to get aero in the future and dont want to buy new wheels later, just get 18s.

on stock fenders with thoes widths, look for somthing +20ish.

17/18 is superior.

to do wide 18s on the front of an S13 and not rock it perma drag launch is tubs and **** that noise.

nobody needs tubs. all you need his a hammer.



here is 18/19 on s13. it is low. the fronts are big. it drifts.

if you do 17/18 on a car with aero, it is because you are lazy/suck at fitting wheels/both.

all im saying is dont waste your time with 17/18 stagger. if you want 17s get 17s, if you want 18s get 18s.
