im on **17x8** **+32** with **225/45/17** on the fronts with like 5mm from rubbing the coilover and sitting right about flush with the fenders no roll or pull. then **17x9** **+35** with **255/40/17** on the rears… with lots of room before rubbing the coilover and also sitting right about flush. ---

I know it’s not a S13 but I can fit 17x9 +17 with 255/40/17 under my fenders with a rolling of the fender lip. I’m lowered about 3 inches on FLT-A2’s. I’m pretty S13 wheel wells may be a bit smaller. ---

I m pretty sure on a stock s13 rim u can’t really go wider then 205 up front unless u got coilovers, even then with stock rims i would say you can’t go past 225, judging on the cleareance i got, cuz i got 17 x 8 upfront and well my cleareance between my coilover and rim is so small that you can’t even wedge your finger in. ---

dont put anything wider than a 215 on a stock wheel - you can mount bigger but even at 215 you’re going to have a sloppy sidewall unless you get something like an rt615 or similar with a super stiff sidewall. either way, i recommend staying to 205 wide maximum - nothing to do with clearence of the fender or suspension … thats really irrelevant as you’ve got a ton of room on both sides on the stock s13 wheel… dont listen to these guys. 225 is an absolute nono unless its a slick ---

u don’t have a lot of room on the front stock suspension, those front springs are huge, i don’t c how you could run anything bigger than a 205 confortably, atleast on my car that is.
