Im looking at picking up some new wheels and rubber for my S13 and was wondering how wide I can go on stock fenders.

depending on offset, type of suspension; coilovers/sprint&strut and camber adjustment.

Whats the size and offset of the wheels you are looking at? and tires you are planning to run.

For example the fenders on signal’s twin s13s…
