Pretty simple Q… Looking for a simple answer Looking to get a new set of rims… 8.5 F 9.5 R widths what should I be looking at for offsets to get a flush fit respectively for F and R? ---

Might help if you specify if it’s a s13 or s14. If it’s a s13 I doubt you will get a 9.5" rear wheel flush without pulling or using over fenders. ---

Depends how flush you want it? I’d say +15 front +20 rear? ---

Its for an s13 hatch… I justwant to get a rough idea… Doesnt have to be super flush because I tuck rim ( 18s ) Yes I will be running over fenders but as a base Id like to know wut would be good b4 overfenders in therory without taking into account coil clearance etc… so I can build apon that say with a 30mm overfender just - that much offset ie 9.5 rim looks good on s13 with a -30 offset say so with 30mm overfeders 0 offset would look good… Reason Im being this way is because 2 yrs ago when I knew nothing about offset and such with my 240 I just baught I got rims that were 7" wide with a +40mm offset… can you say sunken!!! lol Anyone running a 9.5 rear ?? wut offset are they and how do you like how they sit ---

to be honest, you need to know what kinda of negative camber you’ll have in the front and in the back… I have -1 degree in the back and my 9" wide +30 wheels are perfectly flush on my S14. However, if i Had -2 or -3 degrees of camber in the rear (like most 240’s which are lowered by about 1.5-2") then the +30 offset would be terrible and the wheels would have been sunken in. I would need something like +15 to +20 offset on a 9" wide wheel to make it nice and flush in that case. Same applies for the fronts. ---

By the way, you don’t need over fenders for the rim width you want, get 17x9.5 in front and 18x10.5 in back minimum if you want overfenders. ---

There U happy… I fixed it simple - + key mix up… logik23 Funny how some people like to point out a simple mistake where as others see it as it is… that I meant +40 Thanx lith… U gave me the answer I was looking for… I agree with applesauce, it does depend on tire size and wut u see as flush… For me flush will be top of rim in line with body if not 5mm in since I plan to tuck rim in the rear ( yes I realize Ill scrape everything… I dont really care… Its a weekend car ) ---

for comparison i had the same width wheels and I had +38 rear and +22 front the rears needed to be rolled in order to clear 255 tires which were a bit stretched on that size of a wheel and i had no adjustable control arms at the time and car was fairly low so there was 2.8 deg neg. camber. i would have preferred about +30 in the rear. whoever said +20 in the rear is crazy, you’ll need either disgusting negative camber or pulled fenders (or aftermarket fenders) to clear that. front at +22 on an 8.5 fit pretty nicely, i had a 235 tire on and had some minor rubbing issues… tire got chewed pretty badly after a few months. ---

in the summer i ran 17x9 +4 in the rear on stock body of an s14 rolled fender with a bat all depends on tire setup and camber ---

I have 16x9 +13 with a 225 and 3 degress of camber and I needed just a slight bat roll. Later I;m ganna put a 245 on there and put 2 degress of camber and i’ll still be able to get away with a roll. By the way, sorry, I didn’t wanna sound like such a dick before, came out wrong. (about the +40 thing) ---
