borrowed from DaPCwiz again
this is 16x8 +20 with a 5mm spacer, so it sits like a +15. +10 will stick out just a tad more, and s13 fenders are a little narrower, so they will look pretty nice. i would say 205-215/50 or 205-215/55 tires. you might need to roll fenders if you get like a 225 or larger. someone else can chime in.

It will be fuc$ed on yours though you have an 89 240 not the 95 and above. Wheel wells and housing are wider on the 95 and above. It will stick out like a sore thumb on the s13 chassis's...

people tuck 17x10+30 in the rears of s13's on stock fenders that have been rolled and pulled slightly if any at all. the difference is maybe 15mm at most between s13/14 fenders. 17x9 +20 is really easy to fit on s13/14, so with 8" a +10 will sit about the same, probably slightly more sunken.

Coming from a guy with what?... 17 x 8 +35 wheels?

And SoMack 4 x 114.3 <--- the only available bolt pattern for rota grid AFAIK.

EDIT: It is the larger "bulkier" tire sizes that you use with the 16's rather than the 17's, along with the rim offset. Do you know how small my tires are??? (215/45) I also have a 1.8" drop, and will probably only get a little under 1 more inch of drop with that specific size before digging into the wheel wells.........
I can take some close up's for you if you would like......LOL

For that rim I would suggest 215/55. 225 would probably flare to much (beyond the wheel well), it will stick out like a sore thumb.....
Does that make sence?????
