Wheel Size

[Napalmsticks]

I have a few things that I want to do on the new to me S15. Car currently has coilovers, over fenders front and rear, what seem to be R32 wheels and 205/55R16 tires. The wheel offset seems to fit well with the arches but looking for a wider wheel and tire. 205's are not handling the power well, spinning the rears through 3rd.

Any suggestions on offset and tire size to get more rubber on the ground?

So looking a bit into this I'm thinking 18x9.5 ET30 with 235/35 front and 255/35 rear tires would put me close to where I am now with outside fender spacing. Looking at lifting the coils up a bit so rubbing would likely not be an issue with the wider tires I'm assuming.

This offset will push the outside of the wheel out about 4mm (0.75"), which I think would be fine, but I could probably push them out further.

Just need to measure inside to the coils.

After some more looking I think I'm settling on silver Enkei RPF1's with the following spacing:

Front - 18x8.5 ET30 235/35
Rear - 18x9.5 ET38 255/35
