what is the biggest wheel I can fit on my stock s13?

[Metal Angel]

If anyone knows where I can find the answer to this question in a thread then slap me and show me where. I have made the mistake before of not searching first before posting, but this time I really did search first.

I want to have 18x9.5 in the back and 18x8 or maybe even 18x7 in front? is this possible on a stock s13? I don't really want to roll the fenders or do any mods that change the body of my car because it is immaculate and I would feel like I was hurting it.

Also before anyone flames me about doing coil overs or springs before wheels I just wanna put it out there that I am not a stance snob and this car will not see much track time. I want to put wheels on first and then decide how much to lower it. The wheels I am on right now are not stock (although they are factory size) and I think they are hideous so I wanna swap them out for something different as soon as I can.

7"-9.5" wide is cake on stock fenders.

i know i have answered this damn question in depth

I could fit a 11 inch under the rear and a 10 in the front, on stok fenders with a pull....

can YOU do it?not sure

For real. Just cuz it's possible doesn't mean everyone has the testicular fortitude to pull it off. I know I don't. So I'm going for a more simple, yet effective 17x9+25 with 18x10+35 setup, so I can run 245-275 width tires.

But I've seen ppl do the math and figue out that for maximum width on an s13, you want 17x10+23 up front and 17x11+45 out back. You may be able to rock 18's in the rear though.

nahyuo have to have a much lower offset in the front than that. +10 ish or it will hit the coilover

He said he didn't want to roll his fenders either. That REALLY limits your choices. Probably to under 9" for the rear depending on the offset.

cant have your cake and s*** it out too

Nah... I've seen it done. And with Megan coils, too... And they're like the worst offenders to good fitment and the wheels still went on. It won't be rimtucking, hellaflush fitment, but it'll be decent with nice rubber.

And I'll post it in the fitment database

Edit: Oh, maybe you're talking about the 17x10+23 I mentioned. You are probably right about that one. The guys with the maximum wheel width theory didn't post any pics. But the widest I've actually seen on stock s13 fenders was 18x10.5+15 w/ 3mm spacers. That's really close to the +10 you were mentioning...
