i have been on here for a while and have been looking around . i noticed other people with similar topics but i still cant get a good idea from them . please dont flame

i have a 1993 nissan 240sx and im looking into Rota P-45R rims that are 17x9.5 4x114.3 with +12 offset. want something that sits somewhat flush.

right now i have no of suspension mods, still ride height

1.) will they be good to go when i throw them on with the stock height or will modifications need to be made?

also 2.) will i need to fender roll/pull when i lower the car? i plan on dropping it 2" - 2.25". let me know guys id appreciate it alot, also save me alot of worrying

They're going to stick out a lot with stock suspension, and not look very good. When you lower it, you're going to need at least a roll in the back, probably some pull, but most definitely you'll need to pull the fronts.

I'd expect around -2.5 rear camber and up to -4 in the front with that setup. 9.5's don't fit easily in the front of s13's.

Here is a pic of 18x9.5+12 on an slammed s13. It should mount fine on stock suspension since every thing is so high up, theres nothing to bump into! Seems like at least a mild pull will be required all around, but it doesn't stick out too far at all! I say go for it and be our guinea pig!
