nooooooorrrr.
17x7 = ftl
40mm = ftl.
try going for the lower teens/twenties.
and maybe something a little wider.. 17x7 just doesnt cut it.
the smallest i'd do in 16" would be 16x7,
in 17", 17x8,
in 18, 18x9.
17x7 +40 would be quite sunk in the s13.

just imagine your stock wheels widened by .5" or is it 1".. i forget.
with the same offset.
are you 4lug or 5lug?

It wouldn't fit, hit the coilovers.
The wheels aren't really my style but if i were you I'd deff. get something a tad wider and with a lower offset to make them stand out more.

good point the offset is so bad they might hit your suspension components but even if they do clear they are going to be sunk in bad.

If you're stuck on that style try Rays AX Style DE. Don't expect it to be cheap though.

I'll buy another set and hardpark in front of the local highschool...
As for FN01, don't tell anyone on Zilvia you have them...They get their panties in a bunch.
They're not bad wheels at all and are super cheap but I'd go the route of Work CR-Kai.

FNs are cheap and have good fit but are just super played out.
Work CR-Ka the new FN lol. Still good looking and I'd rock them.

Ha yeah, jump on the bandwagon before it's too late!
Or man up and get something 18x11 -20 offset...
