Wheel size question mostly offset

[nissans13240sx]

I have a s13 with 30mm wide fenders on the front and 50mm fenders on the rear. Rims will most likely be staggered 18x10 in the rear and 17x8 in the front. I need help figureing out what offset to get. Normally I could figure it out but I dont know how to calculate for the wide fenders. Any help is appreciated.

It really depends on flush you want to be, what kind of camber you want to have, what size tires you want run.

17x8 can easily fit under the stock front fender, and is really narrow for a 11 inch rear wheel. I would go with at least a 9 inch front, but probably a 10 incher.

I need them to be as flush as possible. I have tein coilovers and rucas on it now. I really just need help figureing out my offset, so I can order rims. I was worried about wheel clearance in the front thats why I opted for smaller rims. I figure I should be able to get a 17x8 to sit flush with the right offset.

maybe with a -20 offset? Why would you want to put a 17x8 with an overfender?

17x8 will probably need -15 to -30 offset to be "flush" with 30mm overfenders depending on camber & tires. This means your either looking at custom (read expensive) wheels, or very large spacers. Again though, you are gonna have way too much rear tire compared to your front. I would go with a 9 inch wide wheel in the back.

Keep in mind that people get +30 and +50 mm fenders so they can run wide, aggressive wheels.

Well I definatly dont want to use spacers. I was worried that if I went to wide in the front the wheels would hit the frame rail with hard turning. I would like to have as wide of wheels as possible in the back but they need to be flush. Money is not really a concern at this point, I just dont want to buy a set of rims and find out that they dont fit right.

I think you'll find the wheel well itself becomes the problem with large wheels and steering angle mods. How low you are is a big factor.

Not that small though...it doesn't take much work to make something decent size clear fine

Youre looking at at least 9.5 front 10.5 rear, and even then youll need spacers.
