Just wondering if anyone can help me out with this. Would anyone know if this size/offset will work in a stock '91 s13 fenders? (with fender rolling of course)

17x9 4x114.3-13mm (Front 2 Wheels)
17x9.5 4x114.3-19mm (Rear 2 Wheels)

Thanks

Did you do the math and measure? Off the top of my head, I don't think they will clear stock fenders....... Not with that offset. im on 8.5 w/ 35 mm offset in the back with less than 1/2 to spare so add another inch wider rim (1/2” to each side) to that and it would be cutting it close, (like a hella flush look) then the difference of offset is another 1/2” so maybe if you pulled your fenders a good .5 to .7 inches.
The fronts you would be very close to the fender and the strut (id say within a 1/4 inch both Sides, if not rubbing.) If you have coil overs in the front, they should fit with little to no extra work.

Yea that's quite a bit of a pull. Haven't really measured it out, just looking to get a super flush look without buying new fenders cuz I recently painted my car. But thanks for the info it helps

Does anyone know if this fitment would be a little easier to achieve with a stretch tire on top of pulling/rolling the fender a bit?

i would get on RIMTUCK.com and do some searching but from my personal experience i would say it really depends on how low you are. if your trynna sit on your tires then i doubt you'll hav to many issues. just roll your fenders and get some camber in there to be able to clear your inner fenders. your gonna hav to gut those fender liners tho. oh and run no larger than 235/45/17 tires. i suggest 205/40/17 for fronts and 215/45/17 for rears. thats not too much stretch. but again its all in how low you are gonna go

If you would have searched, you would have found out the offset was +40 and your wheels will stick out like a sore thumb. Just sayin.
