just to help dave. pay his!!! just trying to help ya dave...


do you want wheels with a a good size lip that is good all around as well??

do you want wheels with big lips (deep dish)??

will you be doing and drag or road racing??

and last do you have a s13 or 14??

18's are better for s14's. you can rock 18's on a s13 but are far better off with a 17. 17's are better for all around use on just about anything so you can't go wrong with that. if you want 18's with big lips on your s13 with good all around use i'd say a 18x8.5 or 9 up front. it depends on how much lip you want. and 18x9.5 or 10 in the rear.

FUNCTION
i would go 18x9 FRNT with an offset of +15~20 WITH ROLLED FENDERS. SMALL PULL
18x10 RR with an offset of +12~18

Form with some function
18x9 offset +10~15 WITH PULLED FENDERS
18x10 offset +5~12

hear is my setup
18x9 FRNT offset +0 PULLED FENDERS
18x10RR offset +0 PULLED FENDERS

I WILL POST PICS OF THEM LATER

I'm running 17x9 +15 front and 17x10 +12 rear on my s14. Rolled front fenders, and overfenders in the rear. I dig the way it looks and fits, and the ability to run 275s in the rear. It tucks with credit card clearance in the rear, and would in the front if I had better springs.

Stretched tires, crazy clearance (http://zilvia.net/f/chat/129865-wheel-fitment-whore-thread.html)

tires sizes also-frnt 225/40/18 rear 245/35/18 they tires are stretched a little as well

if you go with a low offset you will want rear upper control arms. over fenders are nice both rear uppers i think are a must...

what wheel did you have in mind??? whats your price range for wheels and a this project???

Thread hijacking time! Find me some badass low offset wheels with a lot of lip or concave spokes. Looking for at least 10" wide on the rear... fitting 315/35/17s with overfenders. Cheaper the better.

i will do some searching for you and see what i can come up with.

lol thanks. but i would not put this on anything black. i've seen them on a couple of cars in person and they do not look that great. you can try my wheels on to see if you like them. i would go with a black,bronze,or chrome but not my car so its all good. nice g35 BTW.

ullbsorry-are you going to run overfenders???? i would probably go with a

17x9 frnt offset +15~20 17x9.5 offset +12~15 you can go 17x10 if you'd like with an OF of 12~18. these will cheaper and you can get something close to these offset's used but it will be hard to find the rims you like used with the EXACT OS you want.

more money more "flash" 18x9 frnt OS +10~20 18x9.5 or 18x10 OS +0~15.
this will call for fender pulling and probably a stretched tire with some negitive camper depending on your final wheel size and OS. 18x9.5 with +15 will fit fine with some rolling. if you want a big tire on it i would pull the rear fenders and call it a day.

the 17's will allow to run a bigger tire cause your OS will not be that low unless you do in fact choose a low OS. also the small wheel helps with fitment of bigger tire the like 255~275 sizes. the 18's are the more "baller" wheels but more money.

if you don't want to spend a lot of money get the 17's in a good OS and you will be fine. if you want to save a little more and wait or you have the money for 18's i would get the 18's.

you have alot a options lol

Those are some purtty rims there.....

As in the last post you posted up...Lol yeah I got a lot to choose from and think about. Im not too sure if I want 17's or 18's yet. As of money wise...I have a kid ont he way so that should tell you right there. Lol. I bought some Racing Hart rims and Goodyear tires awhile back (19x10.5 & 19x8) and spent $4600 all together....Im not gonna do that ever again if that tells you something. Lol

Im mainly lookin for a 5 spoke decent dish in the rear rim if that helps....depending on what the rims look like will prob make me decided whether i want 17's or 18's.....

those are absolutely fucking hideous!

a nice wide tire is more important to me then a big shiny lip, but those wheels do look nice Dan. but i'd need a wider tire. what do you mean you'd need different control arms?

Why not have both? You could cram a 275+ on those with modifying the quarters.
I actually really like those rims. Definitely not for everyone though.

Some sizing I would really dig would be something like these:

F: 18x10 +10 R:18x11 -5

But I know I can't afford equips like those.

it's all opinion really. i like gold wheels on black cars, but think they look bad on red cars.

got it. i'll look for something like that. yea 4600$ is a little high lol. i think i can find a good wheel for a great price. i'll keep in mind your baby on the way. CONGRATS by tha way on that!

najanaja-
i love gold wheels and thought that, that color gold would look amazing on black but maybe it was the ride height of the cars when i seen them with the wheels on it. like i said if you want to see what they look like on your car (not try'n to sell them to ya) then i will be more then happy to take mine off for ya man. just try'n to help ya bro. i think they would look sick on your car for real. the body lines and wheel wells just look perfect for these wheels. LMK

Piranhamatt-
i'll search for those specs. i'm not a big fan of equpis but there are equpis with those specs all day long on zilvia. new those would rape on price lol.

robbie-
thanks i guess lol. i know what ya mean. the control arms are needed if he keeps the stock fenders and puts a really low offset wheel on. he will need to camper the wheel in depending on how low he sets his car. plus even if he had overfenders the adjustablity of camber is awesome when you want to show,drift,drag or just cruise. he could set it to whatever he wanted. wide tire or not.

i make 3xxhp so i don't need a wide tire. you have a 2jz that makes uber more power. lol. did you sell that car yet robbie???? i like it BTW!!!!
