What size of these rims should I put on my S13?

Here's my S13.

[nismofly]

16 or 17 for teh win

i voted 17, i dont know how those would look in 16

[SmithSR]

Don't get those wheels..

Keep that sumbitch just the way it is!! looks very good clean and simple..

If you must deviate, do 5lug and S14 SE alloys in 16"

[240DRFT]

those wheels have crappy offsets, dont get them. but i like 16's

[nismofly]

yeah nevermind i just looked at offsets

you need a drop first too, i wish i had drop first but wheels were an impulse buy

[mr_wizard]

Thi sis really going to sound noobish, but how do offsets make a difference? Also is 17.6 lbs each heavy or normal or decent...?

[nismofly]

normal

offset determines how far out the wheel is...check the wheels faq at the top

[mr_wizard]

Ok I just read it.... but I don't see how that would matter? Does it make it look uglier?

[nismofly]

its really a personal preference thing

the lower the offset, the farther out the wheel will be

[240sxjeff]

I would go with a 16in wheel it just looks perfect on an s13 chassis. Look at nismofly's car, it looks perfect with wheels in that diameter. A 16x8 inch wheel up front and a 16x9in wheel in the back would look nice.Think of offset as a relationship between the rim of your fender and the edge of your tire/wheel combo. The lower the number goes the closer your wheels get to that fender, if you go too low in offset they will stick out past the fender. Its just how flush you want the wheels to be on your car

[GhostDriver]

What size?Front: 16x8 ~35 Rear: 16x9 ~25

[teddy]

maybe I'm missing something here, but last time I checked, the stock s13 lug pattern was 4x114.3. Not 4x100 or 4x108. So those wheels wouldnt work anyway.

[McRussellPants]

17x9 +22 all the way around or bust.

If your a baller you'll rock 18x10.5 -20 like Koguchi.

[mr_wizard]

Damn, these are close to looking like the Nismo rims. Why do people think they are so ugly? I think they would look awesome on the s13, not chromed out... just a basic bronze with good rim pattern? If you think they're ugly, please give a reason.

[Jookmasta]

just to help u out, those sportmax rims come in better sizes for the s13. do a search for them on ebay as they have staggered sets of the same rim with better offsets and sizes. i personally think that they are good looking rims. had they had been around about 3 or 4 years ago, they wouldve sold like hot cakes. too much competition these days. anyways, 17" rims are fine for an s13. 16" is too small IMO...........................

[babowc]

gramlights 57c 17x8 35, 17x9 25 in gold.teh sex

[nismofly]

they dont make 17x8 or 17x9 57c, 17's only come in the halves

on that note if i got 17s, theyd be 17x7.5 +22 57c's, in bronze or gold

but i like 16s better, the only reason id get 17s would be to clear big brakes

[babowc]

ooh ^ didnt know :Pthanks for informing me 17x8.5 then

[adrianfromthecastle]

DUB DUCES!! lol, j/k. i'd go with the 17s

[babowc]

mrwizard, whatever you do, dont paint your wheels.i regret painting my wheels.. the teardrops.. (same as yours)

it just looks SO gay w.o a drop.. i should've just saved the 100 odd bucks for the hatch wing and the paint and stuff for a suspension.. foolish, i was

[lonelywanderer]

either 16 or 17's with a nice width and offset will look good.... but if you don't got suspension you might want to invest in that first cause the stock 7 spoke se's look good on a lowered 240....

[JDMEnthused]

i vote for 16's.. any bigger just looks sloppy, not unless u run a 17 x 7.5 in the rear and 16 in the front..

[McRussellPants]

First the 8J needing +50 comment and now the 16/17x7.5 stagger?...

I'm beginning to think your not kidding.

[Jookmasta]

i dont know about that comment about running 16s in the front and 17s in the rear...............doesnt seem practical to the avg 240 owner.

Pics please!!!

[mallbor240SR]

17x7 front17x8 rear

[McRussellPants]

Pics please!!!

This is the only one I could find with the +70 overfenders... 18x10.5 +15 with a 40mm spacer in the back... the front is 18x10.5 +15 with a 15mm I think.
