Im looking to step up my drift wheel set up …soo

im looking for sets of 17’s for four bolt set up…i know i know go 5 lug but…eh…

mostly looking to have a good size for the front wheels so ive been reading a 9 inch wide rim in the front is good? rolled fenders and wire harness tuck…

anyways i have work emotion in mind 17x9 or 8.5? for front other then that i dont know of any good 4 lug wheels…anything i looked up today all only come in a 17x 7 or something small like that…

mostly looking for the drifters advise here…everyone i see is on 17’s…

right now im having trouble with having 16’s on the front with my stance coils the tire hit the spring at the last CSCS event…becasue of shitty offsets im guessing.

so any rim name/brands or known sizes you guys know pass on the info!

Thanks

get some 5zigens F1N-O1RC(WHATEVER) if you just need them for the track. They are cheap, fit right, cheap, 4 lug, and cost very little!

I had Hanabi’s on the front before, they didn’t feel too heavy, they were also 17x9 but a little lower offset than what you are proposing here, maybe +20 ? They also had 255/40/17 tires on them and fit without any clearance issues on stock body with coil overs. If you say you don’t want to use spacers, then go for lower offset.

I’m running 18x10 -3 this year, with a 225 on it… we’ll see how that works out. Lots of hammering/rolling/tucking… and I don’t rub; lock to lock!

I m running a 17 x 9.5 +15 in front and its flush with -2 camber. No rubbing issues, lock to lock. Definitely need to tuck the wiring harness if you want to lower it a lot though.

please dont get anything higher then x9 +20 (still not flush but its bare minimum) listen to vlad 🙂

… get flush for once 🙂 thats all ur car is missing. no more stockers. x9.5+15 is similiar to x9 +10 … if u get x9 +30 its gna be sunken and prob not even clear the front coilovers. if it does, its clearing by like 2mm’s … no lie.

on my sis s13 im running x9+20 in front and x9.5 +10 in back (rear is rolled). fronts arent flush. and not alot of camber prob -2.
