Just picked up a pair of work xd-9 17x8.5 +25

I only picked up 2 for now cause that was all that was in stock. I want to see how the 8.5 looks then decide if I want to go with 9.5 in the rear or 8.5 all over.

I have searched google but havent been able to find a good pic of a s13 with an 8.5 (does anybody have pics)

What do you guys think... 8.5 with 235/40/17 all over or a staggered 9.5 rear and 8.5 front with 245/40/17 in the back and 215/40/17 up front?

mostly people here will say stagger 9.5 in rear. i think the 9.5 might be a good choice too but you probably need to pull your fender and definately roll it especially with 245's on a s13 and definately need some neg camber. it'll look nicer but i'm sure 8.5 all around won't be too bad either.

I would think so 2 but im hoping that the 8.5 has enough of a lip to look deep enough in the back and fly enough in the front. I really dont want to have to do any rolling or pulling.

plus I think im going to have to wait like 3 months for the 4 lug 9.5's to come in...

How big (2.5mm?) is the lip for the xd9's 8.5?

Can't wait for mine to show up in a couple weeks. I'm getting 18s on my S14. Staggered, of course.

Any good pics of the lip on the 17x8.5? I cant seem to find a clear picture of the wheel... would the 8.5 with 235/40/17 look clean all around?
