wussup guys for some reason i really cant figure wheels out, no matter how much i search so maybe you guys can help..

i need a wheel that i can fit a 275 wide tire on an s13 without rubbing.. so after alot of searching i found that some people have rocked 17x9 with a +35 offset and had no problems putting a 275 back there... but now i found some wheels i like but there 17x9 +33 so my question is if i roll my fenders can i rock these wheels without rubbing?

Yes, people run 17x9 +15 will just a roll. At worst you'll just want to run some camber. 275 is pretty beefy for a x9 though. Is that the tire you want or is that the tire you have? Cause if you can choose your tire size, I'd go with around a 245.

500 whp horsepower on pump gas so 275 is the minimum i would run.. as far as the 9 inch wide with the +35 offset thats the size that will for sure fit back there in a s13. does anyone know any other sizes that would work.

Here ya go. Personally, I would have tried to fit some 9.5's with 255/35's up front, but you don't get much more perfect than Broadfield's car.

Can't really help ya there. I don't see the need for overfenders when you can fit 10.5 inches under stock fenders...

I guess 11+ inches wide with whatever negative offset...
