Available from 1989 to 1994 in Europe, the Nissan 200SX S13 is one of the most popular rear-wheel-drive Japanese sports cars. Nervous and relatively easy to maintain, it particularly delights drift enthusiasts who appreciate the power of the CA18DET, a 1.8-litre 4-cylinder turbo engine with 171 hp, as well as the general balance of the Nissan coupe. Its look is also a classic in terms of Japanese cars with its pop-up headlights and its aggressive fastback line. Maybe you want to accentuate its style even more and improve its dynamics with the help of new wheels? Follow the guide, we offer you an overview of the different popular fitments for this model with examples to help you make your choice!
Summary:
OEM+ fitment
You get this type of fitment with wheels of sizes relatively close to the stock ones, giving the vehicle a sporty look without requiring modifications to the bodywork. A reduced body height using lowering springs or coilovers, as well as low profile tires are recommended for a nice visual impact.

Stance fitment
This type of fitment requires specific wheel sizes to obtain a striking “flush” effect. A lowered body, a slight negative camber, stretched tires and reworked wheel arches are recommended. Wheel spacers may be required.
