Okay I have a set of 5zigen FN01R-C, fronts are 18x8.5 and the rears are 18x9.5. Now I tried to test fit these last year and the front touched the coil overs without any spacers.

I had a set of 20mm spacers I put on and it cleared with a bunch of room to spare but the problem was it was not flush with the fender(probably a good 5-8mm out of flushiness :D)

Currently the fronts have 225 rubber and I want to go to 245 in the front and either 265 or 275 in the rear. What sort of spacers would I need to get it to fit?

just a bit more info(found it on the 5zigen website),

the fronts are 18x8.5 +30 offset  
the rears are 18x9.5 +35 offset

If it stuck out 5-8mm, it’s a good thing.

I’d put bolt on 25mm spacers on all 4 corners.

I’ll have to take pics to I guess to show what i mean, it didn’t look good to me as the rear sat very nicely flush with the car but the fronts were not that great and didn’t look like they belong there :D.

btw I forgot to mention these will be going on a s14 not a s13.

well if you were out 5-8 mm, just get a 15-20mm spacer instead of the 25mm
