on a 1993 240sx w/ prokit eibach's and tockiko shocks

will 5zigen Fn10rc's 17x9 + 15 on all 4 will that fit? and what tire will I need so that the side wall will be flush like this?



I want tires that are about the same size of that and coem up above the rim the same size and have the same side wall characteristics. will these rims fit on all 4's?

will they hang outside of the body or will they be flush with the body? if not will they be inside the fender a few MM's? or outside? what is a good setup I should buy so I can have the widest on a 240 93 coupe w/ prokit springs and tokicko's and have it not comming outside of the body.

I'm pretty sure that size will be outside of the fender on the front. I'm not sure by how much.

thats probably an 18 or maybe even 19" rim in that pic. 17x9 +15 will need some fender work to fit on an s13. To run a low offset like that with a square sidewall you are gonna have to have your car really high, you wont be able to tuck sidewall at all if you run a square tire.

you want to run squared tire?

235/40/17 front255 or some ungodly wide tire in the back. probably a 40 series as well.235 will be a mild stretch, but i wouldn't use much more than a 235 up front. thats my opinion though.

17x9 +15 on a stock fendered s13... you'll need camber, and if your car is low, like chuhhlie muhhhphy above me said, you won't be able to lower it much with squared tires.

just fyi, i have those same size wheels, i run -2.5f, -1.75r with 215/45/17 and my car is slammed. my fronts are pulled probably 5mm and my rears at least 10, maybe 15.

that size/offset is really good for drift stuff or grip with a minor overfender or a fender flare. if you just bolt that size wheel up without pulling/camber, the wheel/tire will stick roughly 10mm outside of the fender. it looks whack. so you have to massage them into the fender wells.

225/45s fit nicely on my 17x9+15s...the lip guard just fits perfect

edit: n/m...you'll need a 245+ for that square sidewall
