I was trying to figure something out, my front wheels are 16x7 +35 and they are about 3-4 mm from the coilovers I had in the front, now some people have 17x9 +20 in the front which means it would be exactly 1cm closer to the coil, wouldn’t it rub? Or am I missing something… ---

Or am I missing something… I’m surprised you have so little room. Is your rim 3-4 mm away from the coilover? or is your tire 3-5 mm away from your coilover? What size tires do you have on there now? And for that matter what kind of coilovers are they? Are you positive your offset is +35? ---

It’s stamped on the back, it was supposed to be lower and wider rim, but it’s a long story that I explained in Seller feedback lol, anyways, the tires are 225/50 and your right, they are like 2mm away and my rims are like 1 cm away, but I still think the 17x9 +20 would be rubbing. They were Kei Office coils which are for sale btw. lol ---

I know for a fact that with the right tire selection you can just fit a 17x9 +20 on an S14…I don’t know what the difference would be with an S13. Even still there’s always spacers to fix your problems 😉 ---

PintoTech has 17x9+43 on the back, that can’t give any clearance on the shock… Well I;m planning on buying wheels where you can pick any offset you want, so I wanna get it right, nothing says dorky like spending 3k on rims and then having to use a 5mm spacer lolll Anyways, I think I no what i’ll get 17x9.5 +15 all around ---

I had a set of fast wheels on my car with my Tein coilovers and the front rims rub on the shocks. ---

> [@logik23](#): > > Well that’s nice, but what was the width and offset? FAst Octanes were 17X9 +35 offset. from what i read, a 15mm spacer was needed for springs and shocks making it +20, but for coils, you’d need a 20mm spacer, making it +15. ---

But 17x9 +35 fits in the back…Yeah, I’ll just have to get other coils and check it out. ---

> [@logik23](#): > > But 17x9 +35 fits in the back…Yeah, I’ll just have to get other coils and check it out. front and rear I had to use a small spacer, 1/4" (IIRC the size) to get the fast octane 17X9 +35 to clear on all corners (S13) even then (test fitted w 245/45/17) the tires were MM from the front lower spring mount ---

Ok, cause I know someone was selling 17x9 +35 rims here a few months ago and he said they fit without spacers in the back with a 255/40r17 tire. It was Jacky Ngai.
