Yet another Tyre fitment question

[PhopsonNY]

My suspension is currently s13 stock

I intend to do a 5 lug swap, z32 brake swap, add D2 coilovers.

Will Kosei K1 TS 17 * 8 wheels with 35 offset fit ok?

Wondering if this will work or if I need spacers or is there a better choice of wheel. The wheel also comes in 45 offset if I can get that.

Basically I am looking for a sleeper look so I dont want fender flares or widebody fenders.

thanks for the help.

If you want a "sleeper" look, stick with stock wheels...

#1: Don't do a 5 lug swap for lame wheels in lame sizes. It's not worth it

#2: Yes, they would fit, but 225 tires on them might not.

Well I may want a sleeper look, but I don't want to fall asleep looking at the car.

THe Kosei K1 TS are the lightest I could find in that size without spending a fortune. 8" are fine, anything more is overkill. These weigh in at about 15ibs. What size tyre would you recommend.TIA

225/45/17, and then run a small spacer up front if neccesary

Or 215/45 and skip the spacer...

Is it okay to run spacers just in the front or just in the back? I'm asking you because I might want to throw 5mm spacers ONLY in the back to give flush look.

[PhopsonNY]

Thanks for the replies.

Just curious,

What is the ideal width and offset for the flush look with the z32 brakes up front and coilovers all round?

[hannibal]

There are ideal combos of width and offset (and camber too) to give flushness. But flushness lies in the eye of the beholder.

From pics Ive seen, 9" wide +15 is pretty flush. Here's a pic of 17x9" +20, so the example I mentioned would sit 5mm closer to the fender.
