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.

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

What width rims
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.

Thanks
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
