You going to need coilovers to make it look decent. Rims before coils = dumb, What rims are you getting?

thats about as cheap as it gets for new.
one word … WOW. If your looking for wheel fitament its key that you have adjustable coil overs. Its coilovers and then wheels. otherwise your gonna end up looking stupid.
fitment is a relative term.
what hella sick jdm to you, might be weak as fuck to me.
so i deside to buy coilovers and lucky me i got enough money for it heheh!!! so thx for the advices… but yea +8 and +15 ??? hmm do i need to pull my fender or just roll? cause im kinda scary doing pull any more offest advices?
try searching, this shits been covered enough.
if you dont flop on buying the s15 front end, start ordering a new bumper right now, because that one that comes with it is terrible
17x9 +15 should tuck with a roll or a mild pull (judging by thats a popular MB Battle size). If you go plus 8 you’ll have to fuck around with rear camber settings if you don’t want to pull the bitch which means multi link as well. Albeit is based on which rims you run as well… it’s not uncommon for some guys to pull off a 17x9 +5 on stock body.
Offset I’d go with +25 on a 9 personally. With the bit of stretch you have on the rim with the 215 it should clear without any fender rolling/pulling. If your up for rolling and pulling, then +15-20
+25 on a 9? It will fit no problem, but it wont be “flush” lol
Multisynclg bro i got the s15 and his delivering it to me so dont hate me bro… so i guess ill go +20 so it will look a little flashy?? how about the front? so rear +20 now need to have a answer on the front and i decide to go 215/40 tires to clear my coilovers
If your running a 215, then go with ~+10-15 in the front and ~+5-10 in the rear. Or just go with something like +10 all around so you can rotate them.
That will require you to roll your fenders and slight camber.
This was my convertible with 17x9 +5 in the back and 17x9 +10 in the front. The tires were 215/45/R17. The rear fenders were just rolled (not pulled) and the splash guards were removed in the front. I was running quite a bit of camber though. -3.5 degrees in the back and -3 in the front. It didn’t rub anywhere.
