Will these clear coilovers on my 93 s13 coupe? I'm thinking they will, but the fronts will need a 5-7 mm spacer? Also, do you think they will sit flush enough w/ the fenders?

Size: 16x7Bolt pattern: 4 X 114.3Front offsets: +38Rear offsets: +25Tires: Falken 205/40-16

Thanks for the help guys, I've searched, just want to make sure before I drop some $$$.

They will clear just fine. I'm running the following setup:

Tein HA's Falken Azenis Sports 215/45/16 16x7 +40

You should have a good centimeter or more between the suspension and your wheels with that setup.

Is that without spacers? I know I should know this but I don't. How close to flush with the fender would a 16X7 +40 be on an 89 s13? How about 17X7 +40? I don't ant 8 inch wide wheels and most of the other posts are for 8 in. and wider. Thats front and back wheels.

You could have a 22x7 +40 wheel and it would sit as far out as a 13x7 +40 wheel. No matter what they will sit in with a FWD offset. Unless you can find a 7 inch wheel with a +10 offset or something your gonna have to use a spacer to make the wheel flush.

But the stock 240sx offset is a +42. So the rims would sit same as stock, or very close. As far as thenm being just as flush as stock that is.

The wheels are pretty far from flush stock...

Yeah I know, but that really doesn't bother me. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything with the offset. Thanks for the help.
