You need to state the offsets mate, otherwise it's impossible to say ;)

Can depend on brand of coilovers but...


I ran 17 x 9.5 GTR's all round on my previous S15. IIRC the offset was +25. Needed spacers in the end so my guess is that there's no way yours will fit without touching the coilovers :(


Rears will be fine though... there's much more room so given the same width/offset you'll definitely be ok on the back :thumbs:

fitted 18x9.5 et30 at the weekend. Needed a 20mm spacer on the front, 225/40/18 tyres in order to clear the coilover.

the offset is +26 i do not understand offsets at all.... lol
Basically the lower number the offset i.e. going from +30 to +26 means the wheel will start to stick further out of the body (away from the car).

Going from +30 to +26 means your wheels are going to protrude from the arches 4mm more than a +30 offset wheel (given both wheels are the same width).


If this doesn't make sense do a Google search on offsets and there's some decent diagrams knocking about...
