What offset will be most flushed with stock fender on a S13

Front 17x8: +25 or +30 Rear 17x9: +12, +25 or +30

I know this may have been answered many time but I want someone who has personally fit this size wheels. Thanks

mesure your gap, then go play with offset calculator in the faq, it will tell you how much anysize offset/wheel combo with change in spacing both wheel to fender and wheel to shock. stock wheel is 15X6.5 +40mm offset

15x6" +40 !!

on front use 8" +25 on rear use 9" +25

That is the most flush I would dare to use, but as always my answers are conservative and flush looks are not my area of interest..

Some will say do 9" +15 f/r and dump camber and ride height and / or pull & roll fender to be cool...

what year do you have? and what kind of wheels?

one of the two different kinds of 7 spoke stock s13 wheels will clear 26mm z brakes

Thanks I was leaning towards those offsets and no I didn't want to roll fenders and excessive camber haha
