Alright guys I'd like to see what different size wheels look like on s12's.  Please post a picture of your car and list the type of wheel, the diameter, width, and offset of both the front and rear wheels.  Also state whether you had to roll or pull your fenders to make them fit.

EDIT
To keep this clean I will go through and delete any posts that do not have an example of wheel specs. Magnum

Not trying to grave dig, but these are starion/conquest wheels^^

I have a set (F) 16x7 +XX ® 16x8 -10. I bolted the rear on my 88 200sx se and I cant tell if with rolled fenders, stretch ons, and my already 3 degrees of camber on each side would clear my fenders... Th fronts seem fine, but the rears have me worried?

Any insight?

195/55 and a baby pull would probably be proper
turbomits95Mar 30, 2008, 10:13 pm · #11

Baby pull? never heard this term? You're saying very lightly pull out the lip of the fenders/1/4s at the top center to adapt the to the wide ass wheels? also, is the tire size a guess/rough shot? or do you know for sure?

asparagusMar 30, 2008, 10:17 pm · #12

Rage has 195's on his rear 8J's, and it touches the arch(practically sits on top of the tire). If you pulled it out just slightly, it would be perfect. And by baby, i mean a slight pull of the quarter panel. You'll need to have rolled the lips inward, and then get a roller to pull it out.

KustamogenMar 30, 2008, 10:33 pm · #13

Honestly not too sure on the offset or width of these since I did not purchase them....once I find out Ill update...all I know is theyre 17" ADR's

You see what I mean by needing a slight pull?
turbomits95Mar 30, 2008, 11:40 pm · #16

Oh that works perfect! Thanks.

EDIT:

I'm using 195/55 in back, and a 205/50 or 195/50 in the front with a 10-15 mil spacer.

I'll post pics when I get them done and on. They're going on a bright Red 88 SE. I'm thinking black with a metal red lip, super advan style!

I love those Starion wheels

Empedocles99Mar 31, 2008, 10:32 am · #18

I know it's not the best picture to see wheels, but here's one with the race wheels on with my friend sitting on the hood:

Konig Rewind 15x7 +0 offset (I think they're 13.2 lbs) running 205/50/15 Kumho V710 race tires (a lot smaller diameter than the stock tires, that's why the fender is not filled with tire/wheel)

I could use some fender flares, but I don't care too much about it, probably hurts my aerodynamics a little... I don't mind how it looks with the tires sticking out though.

post pics, sorry i never replied , i didnt really have the internet that much back then

the fronts are +18 with the 7" starions and i run 225/50's on the front with 5mm spacers, its kinda janky
200SXXEnotchbck86Feb 4, 2009, 10:49 pm · #26

So what is a good offset for our cars, looks like anywhere between 25 and 35.  If you want the tires more inside you go with the larger offset, but if you want the tires more out bound, then the lower the number, is this correct?

What about with spacers? And for the rear do you think you could run a 17" x 9" or 10" with like a +8 offset
nismologistFeb 5, 2009, 12:35 am · #32

not too fancy.but i liked from the day i saw them in five lug.and they are pretty light.theyre from a 85 turbo 300zx.

in the rear its not that bad, you can run 9-9.5's no problem for sure, im not sure about 10" i havent looked back there in awhile. im going to try 17x9 +0 soon
D-sport S12Feb 5, 2009, 12:43 am · #35

^ 17x9 + 0 are what i want to run on mine to need to get some sick wheel fitment

rageFeb 5, 2009, 12:49 am · #36

just doing some theorizing but ideal offset for 8.5 in the front would be like +20 maybe +15, but they will stick out past the fender another ~1-6mm than silvia love's wheels

17x9 +0 will fit pretty similar to my 16x8 -10's btw

Umai NaaFeb 5, 2009, 7:55 am · #37

Volk/Rays Grp A Evo 2 16x7+25. S13 coilovers, knuckles, and LCAs. No fender mods, small amount of negative camber. ISC coilovers wound down to maximum low. Next step is to remove the lock collars, and crossmember spacers. Tyres are 205/50/16 Federal 535SS.

For rear fitment, can we please stipulate what rear-end is in the car? Ie, IRS, SRA.

Some are obvious, others aren't.

rageFeb 6, 2009, 5:40 am · #41

mines IRS if its not totally obvious from the positive camber looking fronts

the rears are a different tires and the megan coilovers are as LOW
as they can go and i have even removed one of the red rings that tighten
up against the other one to hold the spring in place to make them a
little lower, i just snugged the existing ring to the bottom of the
spring cup. The car has no rear interior and i was told im going to get
some sag so before i start modifly the spring cups im going to put some
km on the vehicle. I plan on having the rears as low as the front.

frame rail for reference and yes thats the exhaust
i ordered a flange so i can make my custom downpipe right away

8SixS12Feb 22, 2009, 4:39 pm · #43

Those look real good!  I think I'm gonna run some xxr 513s 16x7 +15 front and 16x8 w/ 0 offset in the rear.  I think they would fit just right.  What do you think?

SkS12Mar 3, 2009, 1:40 am · #44

thanks! that sound like a decent fit to me worste case scenerio run some bolt on spacers. those wheels scream oldschool and should look good

Could you please post some pics like these of the rear?  I want to see how far 15x8 +15 sticks out past the rear fenders.  Thanks. BTW they look sweet.

I'm not a big fan of the style and I'm not sure how well they would fit on our cars, but for 200 bucks I would buy them up and sell them for more and make a little money.

sure it seas like a good deal but those wheels are really really really bad looking
it would be a good idea to flip them as stated if you want.

i put pictures of the rear wheels in my original post
