Hi, im looking to replace my stock wheels with XXR 522s 16 x 8" +0 offset.

Does anyone know how these will sit with stock fenders no roll or pull.
or will i need to run some crazy negative camber to make it tuck / fit.

thanks.

interesting. It seems to me it will sit flush with just a tiny bit of pull/roll with stock camber arms.
Then i believe tire calculator i used at 1010tires.com must be wrong. They told me the tire will stick out 45mm more.....
correct me if i''m wrong

if only the shop has stock then i can test fit it out.. :(

Me personally, I think 16" is a little small for a S13, I'd personally go for 17/18" but I can see why you'd want to go 16 since they don't make that in 4 lug 17".

You don't need negative camber. Just a proper roll. Also, if you're not low it will look like the poo poo platter

16" looks fine on S13, 18 usually doesn't without aftermarket body parts/a lot of work.

Fenders will depend on tires and suspension. I have 225/50 on 16x8 0 offset, no way I can have stock fenders.

Took the words out of my mouth. 16" and 17" are good choices.

OP, if you roll your fenders and get 195s, it should fit.

I do notice he has some poke in the front even with 205s on 8"
but then again he never pulled the fronts
