Hey guys,

I would like to get some new rims on my silvia but dont really know much

I wanted Rota Grids (Te37s way too expensive) and i want them to sit flush

with lots of googling i found the exact look i want (and he is a member here) Darcyjohan, fellow aus
Im still tossing up whether i should get the colour he has or go black on black with red brake calipers and bolts for stealth look

i believe his are 18x9.5+20

now my s15 is stock, so what do i have to do to make them fit right
because darcy has rolled guards, coilovers
Do i need this?

my s15 sits a little high with stock suspension. Are coilovers really worth all that money?
here is mine, i dont know how much the 18" would raise the car

Running 18's wouldn't raise your car at all, provided you used the right size tyres.

9.5" wide at +20 offset would stick out quite a bit, not sit flush. This is mine below with 9.5 ET15 on the rear, 8.5 ET18 on the front and as you can see they stick out a bit.

For the rear you can get them to tuck in with the standard rear camber arms, bit of tyre stretch and arch roll. For the front, camber and a slightly stretched tyre.

See if you can find what you're looking for in here: http://forum.s15oc.com/threads/556-Ultimate-wheel-fitting-guide
