dont bother trying to figure it out, just go with what people are telling you.

17 x 9 + 20 is fine on the front of an S13 i would say go with a 225 though.

that same size will have plenty of room on the rear of an S13 run a wider tire blah blah.

offeset if the distance of the mounting pad of the wheel from the centerline of the wheel. + offset means the distance of the face of the mounting pad surface of the wheel is + mm street side.

- offset means the mounting pad surface of the wheel is - mm inward.

17x9 +22 and the absolute highest you can go in the front to clear coilovers IIRC. And that’s with a 235 or smaller tire.

…I just said 17x9 +22 will fit, so you need a minimum of a 13mm spacer, I’d go with a 15 or 20mm to be safe.

Do you want to get coilovers some day? If so then you should get the spacers now, and it’ll make the wheels look better. But you can get a 3-5mm slip on for nwo to clear the stock suspension.
