Smaller rim will weigh less, but then you need bigger tyres so add weight there. I wouldn't really know where the optimum point is though. |

How much money do you have? Do you want guard work? What do you want to use the car for? |

anything in 19*10" or wider and no greater than a +5 offset should be perfect. Should be a big enough investment for ya.. |

QUOTE but how small are you willing to go ? 16" -17 " ? how much are you willing to spend ? smallest would be 17, largest 18 im willing 2 spend about 5-6 grand QUOTE what are you going to do with the car? is it just for the street? the car will be both for street and track , i wont be doing drastic mods like rollcages, interior stripping etc tho QUOTE How much money do you have? Do you want guard work? What do you want to use the car for? atm i have about 5 grand i dont really want 2 do guard work as the paintwork is brand new i want 2 use the car for both street and track (not drifting) also i have become quite fond of these i know a little bit of guard work is done and camber aswell but i could live without the flared guards

QUOTE(luxxy101 @ Feb 28 2009, 05:44 PM) [snapback]1283656456[/snapback] the stance on the sil with the camber will be perfect for what im wanting except im not that sure about the wear on the inside of the tyres how many ks normal driving per set ? you'd still get alot of use out of them depending on how you drive you would only loose a few thousand km off use, but then if you do a track day youd loose ALOT more use out of them anyway, as i said with a 10mm spacer you would be able to reduce the camber but then you would need to flare the guards to accomidate. It really is a push and shove battle, Virgin Guards = mass camber, Flared Guards = Less Camber. |

QUOTE Question. What kinda suspension do you currently have in your car? Because if you don't have adjustable (Height, camber etc) it'll make it a little harder to fit some of the rims (IE, low offset/wide rims that need a far bit of camber. As for tyre wear. If you don't do burnouts/drifting, and get them rotated ever couple thousand K's and you'll be sweet. Atm i only have jic coilovers |

are they camber adjustable at the front and rear? Or would you have to get some adjustable rear camber arms. |

Sorry, I don't really know much about suspension on the S13. But if you are looking into getting some rims like the above, you'll need a fair bit of adjustable so they fit perfect. QUOTE are they camber adjustable at the front and rear? yes they are camber adjustable btw this is my car as its green i dont really know what colour i should go for chrome is a safe bet and they look awesome with some dish whats a safe offset , neg camber that wont pump out the tyres as much without flaring ohh btw im getting new tailights

Both arent super light but arent too bad for a multipiece wheel. If its a street car you arent going to notice a huge difference to a set of te37s anyway so you should go with what you think looks good. getting low tolerance fitment is trouble with the cops and usually needs a little guard work to get it nice and close with out fouling. I would recommend 18 x 10 +20 rear and 17 x 9.5 +12 on the front. These sizes will fit with minimal guard work (should be able to use a guard roller with out having to redo the paint) If you run stretched tyres. fitting `recommended` tyre sizes to these rims will cause hassles with clearance. If you dont have rear upper arms get some. |

I dont have a site for rims. I can supply what ever is in japan (which is a fairly large range) there are a few forums with fitment threads that might be worth looking at? eg this one... http://www.nissansilvia.com.au/forums/inde...t=0&start=0 camber will depend on ride height, tyres used and how much clearance you have. probably about -2~3 degrees on the front and about -1.5~2.5 on the back. for a street car I would run as little camber as possible as tyres do wear uneven if you run too much camber. Its not a huge problem but if it can be easily avoided why not. On my s13 (which is a no compromise track car) I run about -4 degrees on the front and around -2 on the back. If you dont care about tyre wear there is advantages to running more camber. main problem with parts from japan is shipping costs. So tyres would be best sourced locally. Used rims help lower the cost alot but with multipiece rims there are so many different sizes available its very rare you get exactly what you want pop up for sale second hand. rough costs for new 18 x 10 and 17 x 9.5 SSR proffessors landed in Aus on a rate of 62.3 yen would be ~$3750 |

Cant be done mate, pls dont give people misleading advice when there putting big money in.. With a flare you wont need as much negative camber, without the worry of hitting the guard. Also 18x9.5 +5 is an easy fit with a roll sometimes a very slight pull makes it a touch easier, then with the right tyre 215/40 its all good 18x9 +10 Virgin Guards, just a roll.  So dont say it 'cant be done' until you've done it, 17x10 +30 LOLOLOL seriously go buy a Lancer. |

^lol... i cant believe ur serious, u posted a picture with about 4-5 degree of camber with 18 x 9 +10, u want him to go to 18x 9.5 +5.... thats a whole 11mm more out, i cant see how u would be able to fit a rim that stick 11mm out more, and dail out the camber to 1-2 without a flare. |
