i dont think you really know very much about wheel fitment at all.
not taking a shot or anything, just saying.
i run 17x9 +20 fronts with no issues at all, and have run different setups as well.

you do know that camber is adjustable on these cars right?
and that most any coilover setups are stiff enough to severl;y limit wheel travel into the fender

Yeah Tim, I was looking at the PBM bolt on 25mm spacers.

Im waiting for the kid to get back to me on the wheels, as soon as he does is when I will start looking for spacers.

I lied, PBM only has 20 or 30mm for 4 lug. I guess Ill have to find some used 25mm ones. Or should I just go with a 30mm?

I mean that's still only 17x8 +5 effectively.

It has to do with how close you can get a wheel to the fender and not have any issues. Which is fitment. So I posted a picture to explaine things. Its pretty simple to understand.

You do know that running a bunch of camber, to clear the wrong offset wheels, is only ok with low horsepower cars, driven by kids who just want to slide around right ?

I'll stick to having wheels that are contained within the vehicle, and putting power to the ground.

Camber is very usefull, go do some research. But you only seem to care about being fast on the street. In a straight line. Cool.

Adjust the camber all you want, that still has nothing to do with longfellow posting pictures of how a certain offset wheel fits on his S14, stating that they are going to fit the same on an S13.

Mind=Bottled.

that depends. do you want it to look cool, or have z28nerd tell you it sticks out too much?

if you do the 30 id maybe run a 10 in the back, just to even it out some.
either will look fine

handling?
fuck that. id rather look cool.
