Just bought a 91 240sx se with super hicas, lsd and abs for $200.
Motor smokes but it's coming out this weekend anyway. I was just wondering what the widest tire anyone has put on a s 13 is and if there is a s hicas eliminator kit. thanks

On my '89 s13 coupe I run 255/40's on 17x9 (+43) wheels out back. The fronts are 235/40's on 17x8 (+27). Fit perfectly! Only difficult part is finding wheels that size, usually have to source them out of Japan. I ended up swapping to 5 lug.

I have a 91 With super hicas on board as well. There is a computer switch off if i am not mistaken. As far as tires go i am running on Yoks 215-45 R17 both front and rear

with those rims/offset and 5 lug conversion are you running the Z32 brake upgrade also? and are you using coilovers?

+27?? Crap, I came up with nearly the same rear offset that should fit, but for fronts, I was looking at 17x8 with a +38mm offset. I would love to see pics of that.
