Nissan Silvia / 180SX / 240SXS13

S13 covers Silvia, 180SX and 240SX variants and many drift-oriented hub and brake conversions.

Before you choose wheels.

A good-looking setup is only useful if the details match your car. Start with these generation-specific checks.

  1. Distinguish coupe and hatch bodies and original arches from overfenders.
  2. Identify four- or five-lug hardware and brake conversions on the actual car before comparing wheel specifications.
  3. Record steering-angle modifications, bodywork and wheel spacers, which can materially change clearance.

Record the complete setup.

Track front and rear separately, even on a square setup. Wheel diameter and width alone cannot establish clearance.

Wheels
Exact brand and model, diameter × width, nominal offset, bolt pattern and hub bore.
Spacers
Explicit front and rear thickness in millimeters. Enter zero only after confirming there are no spacers.
Tires
Brand, model and full size on each axle. Nominal sizes do not guarantee the same measured section width.
The car
Market, model year, trim, body style, brake package, suspension, alignment and any fender modifications.
Real-world result
Rubbing at steering lock, under compression and with passengers or cargo. Include conditions, not just “fits.”
Effective offset = wheel offset − spacer thickness

A spacer moves the wheel outward, but an offset calculation does not prove brake, tire, suspension or body clearance.

Year ranges are generation guides, not VIN decoders. Market introductions and model years can differ.
