Some help w/ tire fitment for these rims on my s13 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

southjrz240 · 07-03-2006, 12:52 PM

i just purchased the g-games rims that were for sale in the wheels board on here. The specs of the rims are 18x10-rear and 18x9-front w/ a +20 offset. i tested out the fitment of the rears and they stick out about 1.5 inches from the fender. i am using Silkroad adj coilovers so i have room to adjust the height ect. what tire sizes/brnad do you reccommend for me to use? i am goin to go all season tires b/c these rims are strictly for looks considering they are 20+ lbs. i just throw on my stock se rims w/ the radials for the strip.

all the feedback is greatly appreciated, thanks

bump. how do u feel about 275 40 18f and 245 40 rear. the diameters are close with the falken 451's

Oh dear, I hope you plan on rolling/pulling your fenders.

Please don't rock whichever 18's you have and still be 4x4 status.

...you want to run a wider tire on the front? Dont do that. Also on a 275 with an aspect ratio of 40 the sidewall is going to be friggin massive! The overall tire diameter would be almost 2 inches larger than stock! With those tire choices your front is going to sit a half inch higer than the rear.

Your rims a a bit wider than mine but I run 245/40/18 on the front and 255/35/18 on the rear and the fittment is perfect. You might consider bumping them up to 235/40 and 265/35 respectively. Yokohama es100's come in these sizes and are pretty good bang for your buck tires. If you autocross the car check out the new Azenis.

Your 10" +20 rears you'll need some fender roll/pull or a lot of neg camber to make them fit nicely.

Aspect ratio? He's asking about tires, not an HDTV Plasma screen. lol.

Anyways, 245/40/18 all around or just up front and 255 out back. Here's a recent thread on all season tire recommendations:

southjrz240 · 07-07-2006, 08:21 AM

so i went w/ the new Falken 452's in a 235-40 and a 265-35. they are both the same exact o.d 25.3. hopefully all will work out good w/ fitment.

thanks for the feedback guys.

oh and the t.v is workin out great.

usdm180sx · 07-07-2006, 12:26 PM

Perfect choice. That's going to look nice! If you don't go stupid low on the drop you might even get away with just a fender roll and a bit of neg. camber. Post some pics when you get them on!

southjrz240 · 07-07-2006, 02:06 PM
