wheel fitment

[Bullitt_S13]

i have an s13 hatch and i am a big fan of oldschool rims, want a set of 15 inch longchamp xr4s but way too hard to find and afford lol. i think i have settled on sportmax 501, 16 x 8 +15 offset. here is my problem. i dont know much about wheel fitment and i plan on running 50mm overfenders in the rear and 20mm fenders up front. what would it take (if even possible) to make this setup sit as close to flush as possible? if anyone has any personal experience in a like situation, please share. any feedback is great even if its just opinions. thanks in advance.

FAIL FAIL FAIL

first off, theres a forum dedicated to wheels and suspension. this should be there.

SECONDLY, you should not plan to get overfenders unless you already have wheels that would require it.

if youre using 501's, itll be super sunken with that width and offset, and look ridiculous since theyre only 16s with a widebody steez goin on. theyre just about flush on a stock bodied s13 as it is, youd need a 50mm spacer in the back and a 20 in the front to accomodate the overfenders.

get wheels first, then plan body work necessary, not the other way around.

what're you wanting overfenders for, anyway?

why are you gonna go with over fenders for? The wheels (16x8+15) would already sit flush on stock fenders.

youd need a 50mm spacer in the back and a 20 in the front to accomodate the overfenders.

LOL duh...

sorry adrian, i just had to say it. those are ridiculous sizes for spacers, are they not?
