I was thinking of the s13 coilover swap and whether or not the wheel offset fit is different. An example is on a 17x7 wheel with the factory set up you can fit a 35mm of less offset but with the s13 coilovers is it the same or can you fit a higher offset? So those who have done the swap I would like to know if there is any difference because it could change my wheel choices.
so no one knows?
Wish I could help you out on that one but i have no idea. I think that it would allow you more room up front for higer offsets but i don't know how much. Somebody here has to know something about this. Come on guys
I actually lost space when I did my coilover kit on my S12 McPherson struts. The lower spring perch now sits below the tire, instead of above it, like stock, so my stock wheels and tires sit like 2mm away from the lower spring perch. I don't know if the S13 hardware sits further in, or what, but I hope so.
I really don't have any idea...sorry
