original link. click the link for more in depth explanation of offset and clearance issues.

Warning* there is no mention of coilover or other suspension with these offsets so i have no clue if they will clear stock springs, aftermarket springs or coilover kits.

I also did my own research tho and i've heard that the 17 x 9 +38 will clear coilovers (TEIN Flex). I guess you really don't need +5 offset.
pix of s14 with Flex's with the above mentioned rim size and offset

front

back (looks kind of sunken in but not as bad as everybody says they would be.)

another with same dimension wheels

on an s13 with +20 up front and +38 in the back



REMEMBER, these are only recommendations. Offset isn't set in stone. If you find a wheel with an offset that isn't listed above.. do your own math.. trust me it's not that hard.

25.4mm = 1 inch

make this a sticky! if I had found something complete like this i never would have bought those darn 18's dumb move on my part! great post IMO

 

Wow those are some weak *** offsets, but im hardcore on wheel fitment.

Be unique, those offsets are very modest, if thats what you want go for it.

Good post tho.

 

bump

 

Pshhh...who would take the word of someone named Work or Taka Kaira....



At least this will help people find what they want, defininitley sticky.

 

It might stop some newb offset questions. Rename it to "Have an offset question? CLICK HERE!" Then sticky.

 

there is no reason not to roll and pull your fenders it is cheap. and you can get way wider wheels and tires... more dish is pimp and staggared wheel sizes on a car that already understeers sucks

 

Woot.

 

great sticky! now i know what to buy! <~ i'm such a noob haha

 

you can find much better wheels for $900 with better offset and width. I agree with Fast1One, look for something else.


Stanbo your rims looks sex on your car

 

aight i dropped that idea. btw i wasn't going to bid on that ebay auction. there's another member selling some on here.

 

To Ken Versus Ryu,
In that picture of the S13 with +22 and +35 offsets, what are the widths of the front and rear rims? i really dont want to get flamed for this, but i want to be absolutely sure before i order my rims. Sorry. Im getting ready to order some Fn01r-c and i am looking at the 5zigen website.

Im not going to do the 5lug swap, due to lack of funds and getting married. On the Zigen website the 17X8 +35 are available in the lug pattern i need. How would these look all around? and i also see they havea 17X9 with +20 offsets. would these work for the rear with 17X8 +35 up fromnt? i am really sorry to sound like a newb, but i guess i kinda am one. and get slighty confused. thank you very much, in advance.

 

Do 17x9 +20 all around...

 

 

thanks alot. thats what i was looking for. Because i kept seeing +35 for 17X9 on an S13 but that new offset size (+20 for the S13 on the 5Zigen website) for the FN01R-C's threw me off.

A few more quick questions. Will this require rolling my fenders, if so not a problem. And does anyone have a picture of a S13 with 17X9 +20 wheels?

Thanks again fellas
