Default best offset?

just wondering what u guys think the best offset on 15' and tire size/brands for a s13, im looking to get a pair of sport max 513,501,or 002's. also any suggestions on coils or dampers. i want it to be slamed but also look right. any picks would be greatly appreaciated so i can see for my self instead of getting some shit i dont like. im tryng to go for the deepst rim possible with out having them poke out to much and making it look like shit.

go 17s or 18s they look way better. imo aftermarket 15in wheels look smaller than they are and like they go on a honda or something

15x?
width is important before you can know what offset to use.

15" wheels will def look lost on a s13 or s14.

Typically the safe wheel combo for an s13 is (Front 17" or 18"X9" +20) (Rear 17" or 18"X10 +20) A fender roll and you are set. Tire size is important as well. 9" 225/40 and 10" 245/40. A stretch will allow you to have little or no problems.

Bottom line don't go with a 15".

15s look just fine, if your shit is super low, and has no aero.

Hey look, my making fun of you works.. yeah I don't think anything says you want dick in your butthole more like Sportmax 962's.. And I told you this before you bought them Angel, so I dont want to hear any "I didnt want them"

What Bodon said. 15's look great on cars w/o Aero and slammed.
honestly. BEST offset probably wouldn't be in your price range.. but the wheels you have listed looks like your leaning to the 0-offset. Which will look fine on your S13. Good luck.

key points are:

mesh
at least 7 inches wide for the front
8 inches wide for the rear
front must be zero offset or negative
rear must be negative offset

Also... Start your search understanding that you're going to pay close to a grand for a set of wheels that meet this criteria
