one more question, of topic but anyway....

will wheels with a 42mm offset work on an s13? ive heard its not good to go past 25mm on a s13? also what are the biggest tires or best tire size to fit to a wheel with a width of 190mm/19cm?

I had 40offset 18x8" on my car with no rubbing, 225/40/18's if you go for 25mm ofset and the rims is a bit wide 8"+ it WILL rub and you have to roll the fenders.

so do you think if i stay with a 18" with 8" (200mm) or smaller width wheel it will be fine with the 42mm negative offset, and doesnt really matter bout the negative offset?

i suppose, but when i think that its just one thing for my car its quite an expensive part, i could do alot more with the money and still run dicktator, and still have a good tune, but if i had a bigger budget it would definitly be power fc

if i had already had my motor in i would have saved more n gone for it but on a tight ass budget now

If you are going SR20 in a S13 you can forget about running power FC in anyway. Unless you can get a complete loom from a S14 that has not been cut at any place.

Reason for this is that perfect power fc is a plug-and-play system.

Save up some cash and install a decent management system. I had dicktaotr and it works great. However you can get allot more for your money with other systems.
