a friend of mine is offering me a pair of amistad wheels for my s13. they were once on a g35 and then my friend bought them for his 300zx. they fit nice but he wanted more lip and switched to 10's. so do u guys think they'll fit? i'm hoping to fit them in with a 235/35. thanks.

if um, if your engine is still n/a which you dont say so I'll assume yes, why would you want 19's? Larger wheels are heavier and have more rotational inertia (somewhat independent of eachother), so they're gonna rob a lot of power.

depends on offset how much work you will have to do. but yes, they will fit fine (you may have to roll or pull a little bit).

And yes, they will rob quite a bit of hp & cost you in mpg also for traffic driving. something to consider.

i'm waiting for my income tax check, and my ka-e is soon to be kae-t. these are amistad wheels from japan. they only use these wheels on lexus', infinity's, and benzo's. i think they weigh about 20lbs. so they're pretty light. but my main reasons are their sick looks and exclusivity. nobody has these wheels around here. except my boy on his z32.
