Master Guide For Buying Wheels!!

[samms95s14se]

This thread is for people to BREAKDOWN exactly what Tire and Wheel combination they have? But this will be different than most other posts.... you'll see what I mean in a moment....
Now i've looked at many many threads on wheels, tires, rims, and suspension pictures and so on but there is not one that will have it all or what I need, for EXAMPLE... I'll see a post where someone says they have an S14 with 17" but no offset given? or 17" with offset but no tire size? or 17" with offset and tire size but no picture? or 17" with offset, tire size and picture! but not the right angle on the picture to see how flush or stretched or whatever and no suspension setup. See what I mean!!

Also I started thinking that this thread can actually answer a lot of questions I never thought could be answered like you've seen these ones ..... "What coilovers are everyone using" and "Best Rucas, Tie rods, and so on to use" WELL DUH! If there are so many pages and pictures of what people are using what do you think could be the most popular to use? You could almost build stats out of it for fun?
Also if you have posted in here in the past and have a new setup add on to this with your new specs! And you get to whore out some pics too. Just trying to help control new threads and PM sent questions.

So here is a formula to follow to help people get the real perspective on wheels so if you could post all of this information using the numbers given or whatever you can fill in, but try to add it back in later when you have time. Good luck trying its alot!! But should help people from searching hundreds of threads that take up all your time to read through. NEW QUESTIONS ADDED.

1. S13/S14/S15 =
2. Suspension Setup/Brands =
3. Wheel/Rim Size front & back =
4. Brand of Wheel/Rim =
5. Offset front & back =
6. Spacer Size =
7. Tire Size/Brand front & back =
8. Alignment Specs =
9. Clear Zbrakes & what size brakes =
10. Fender Modifications: rolled/pulled =
11. Picture.. from the side & down the side =
12. Over Fenders Brand & mm Size =
13. Tire Pressure front & rear Track/Daily Driving =
14. Lip size front & Back =

Thanks everyone! THIS could be the Master Guide?
Also should be a STICKY ?? If you think about it.

[Dousan_PG]

sounds like a fun thread.
mods delete people who dont respond correctly
no "hey what" qs.
only pics to reply
make me a mod and i'll rule this thread w/ an iron fist

PM PEOPLE IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION

add number 7, alignment!!
and here's my beater..prekouki

1) s14 1995
2) too much, you only need to know Tanabe DD coilovers, -3 degrees camber
3) 17x9, 17x10 Desmond Regamaster
4) 9 +18, 10 +20
5) 215/45/17, 235/40/17
6) alignment at time pics taken: -2 camber front, -3 rear (changed now)







8) clears front and rear z32 brakes
9) rear fenders hammered about 10mm-15mm if that...fronts rolled (hammered now). setup also works perfect for 18x9.5 +12 (Work Emotion) with a 235/40/17

[SilviaDriver]

8] clear zbrakes and what size brakes and if spacer needed
9] fender modifications: rolled/pulled how much

sorry sold all my wheels savin for VS-KFs

you can delete my post after you entered #8/9 in

[samms95s14se]

Wow! no one but Dousan PG has any specs and pictures! and by the way GREAT job on the info and NICE pics!!! thats how you do it. So everyone wants to continue to ask random wheel and tire fitment questions just to see people reply back SEARCH?? and go back and forth for ever????

Can we get some members who posted pics in the picture threads to help out on this? Remember you can edit back in information that you don't have right now later, just skip numbers if you have to.

Ok let's try this....One More Time!!
