i have some pics of 17X9 +35 and 17X9 +20, and the +35 fits fine, but i hear there’s coilover clearance issues. people running coilovers put in a 10mm spacer in the back. now on the other hand, running a 17X9 +20 will run you into some rubbing of the fender. you either do a little pull, raise it a bit or add some camber. both are with 245/40/17 tires. ---

Why does everyone buy such a wide rim they stick a honda tire on it??? but minimun tire sizes 10-255 9-235 8-225. But yea 35 offset on wide rims are ok but you really want less than 30 ---

Some people like the traction program. More power, more tire, more traction. There is other purposes for an S13 than drifting. ---

i’m sure saving $10-15/tire will help you in the long run if you’re drifting alot. 🙂 i’d rather have the grip and a tire that doesn’t look silly being super stretched on a rim like that. :shrug: ---

> [@mikesil](#): > > i’d rather have the grip and a tire that doesn’t look silly being super stretched on a rim like that. :shrug: It all depends on what you want from your car. I read a write-up somewhere about how the handling dynamics change when using wide wheels and narrow tires vs. narrow wheels and wider tires. I don’t remember what it all said ( so someone find it! ), but as I remember, the general idea was that tires with some stretch will give better response and quicker turn in, but obviously have less overall grip.
