At least he didn't call them reeemz. But no really finding the offset you need/want also depends on the width of the wheel.

The width of the wheel, how modified your fenders are, how much camber you plan to run, how low you want to go, and how much are you willing to do to make something fit determine an offset, not just the chassis.

Its not what offsets fit an S13, its what are you willing to do to make a wheel fit your S13.

To the OP, check out the wheel and tire section, look at the fitment database, research your options, and make an informed decision. You have to do the leg work.

^ Be prepared to at least roll your fenders. And also, you're gonna need to run some camber. Finally, those offsets/sizes will look stupid unless you have the proper ride height (lower).

He'll only need to roll the rears.

Also, with the right tire size the fronts will fit fine. Def needs to be low to pull it off though.

Then you are set. I own an S14 so you may want to get a few more opinions but I know that you can fit 17x9's all around. The offsets are a little more iffy to me (on S13). I would say anything +15 or under and you will be str8.

You still in Iraq? I been there 3 times already (UH-1Y crew chief). Stay safe and I can't wait to see the pics of the car when you get back..

Semper Fi.
