Wheel sizing
so i ordered some new wheels, and need to pick out size and offset still...i have a s13 coupe, and want to go somewhat big, like 17x9 front and 17x10 rear...question is, does anyone run a 17x10 rear? what offset do you have and what did you have to do to get it to fit? any suggestions on offsets/sizing would be good, but i dont want to **** with rolling/pulling too much since the car was just painted, but i will roll a bit if i need to... here are the wheels with the available sizes:

"without major modification" is cool and all, but if i am going to drop $600 each on wheels, i want a stance that looks aggressive.
now its easy to assume what you are looking for, but to help you we need to understand what you are looking for.
overs or stock body?
how low are you?
RUCAs? (and if so, how much camber do you want to run)?
the purpose of your car?

the purpose of my car is going to be roadrace/auto-x, i have rucas, and I am really considering overfenders at this point. stock body right now, but want to run some 305 tires on the rears. i think i am just going to have to deal with the fact that it will take some modification. height wise, i have some jic flt-a2 coilovers, so height can be adjusted.

you know what, im gonna have to agree with spencer on this.
that seems like a decent wheel sizing for pure performance application.
especially to fit wide tires, the only concern is coilover to wheel clearance with wide tires.

Offset: The amount the mounting base is from the Center of the wheel width wise
i.e. +26 offset would put the hub more towards the street side of the rim an -5 Offset would be more towards car side of the center.
now because you can only go so wide before you hit something, your gonna have to measure the clearance between the wheel and the coilover to make sure when compression takes place your not jamming the rim into your springs or perches.

You certainly can do this, but how wide a tire you run, camber specs, and how low you go are going to determine the level of modification you will need to do to the fenders. At very least you will need to roll, and probably roll flat. Since this would crack the paint, the best way to do it is sand/grind of the paint right at the edge of the lip and then tape off and touch up after done.
If you don't drop it completely, added a little negative camber, and run a stretch tire, you could get away with less.
