5Zigen FN01R-C for S14 17" staggered - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Rezlo · 12-23-2006, 02:52 PM

Hey guys,

Ive searched but havent found anything (and yes im usless at searching)

Im looking at 17X8 +25's on the front and 17X9 +35's for the rear,

I presume this will look semi even on a S14?

I am currently running 225's on the stock SE rims with zero traction with my RB threw to the top of 3rd,

This going on a 100% street car, what would be the largest tire size apropriate for those size rear rims without rubbing on anything, I run KYB's with tein s-tech springs due to south africa's poor road conditions.

I know this is a newb question

but I would really appreciate your guys help, maybe even a pic or two of S14's with these rims.

thanks

If you have a 5 lug s14 get some 17x9+15 all around with front 235/40 and rear 245/40. Thats perfect for pretty good traction and it will be pretty flush. If your four lug Spl parts sell FN's in 17x9+20.

Rezlo · 12-23-2006, 03:22 PM

yes its a euro spec S14B, so i have 5 lug hubs.

I was hopping to get somthing closer to a 265 rear, im making quite a bit of power.

I know when we put evo8 rims on our S14's (like the drift vid i posted a few weeks ago) they come mega close to the front shock's will 9" fronts with +15 not come to close?

S13-Silvia · 12-23-2006, 03:31 PM

I don't think it will hit the shocks. If your looking for 265's I would get the 17x10+25 or +12 with 265/35

Heres a picture with 17x9+15 and 17x10+25 or +12 not sure.

Rezlo · 12-23-2006, 03:40 PM

wow looks like it sits nice an close to the fenders, i must be careful because i can not run any crazy camber or anything, granted im running 450whp its still my every day car to work and back.

Any idea whos car that is?

S13-Silvia · 12-23-2006, 03:43 PM

His user name is Team Rootbeer. You might have to roll fenders and I would run like 1.5 degrees of camber in the front and 1 or 1.5 degrees in the back if you don't want alot of camber. Theres more pics of his car in the LOW DOWN thread with different wheels. I think the wheels he has on the car now are 17x9+0 all around.

Rezlo · 12-23-2006, 03:46 PM

ye 1.5 is perfect for the way I drive,

thanks a million for your help

S13-Silvia · 12-23-2006, 03:47 PM

Your welcome. What RB motor do you have?

Rezlo · 12-23-2006, 04:09 PM

25

Fairly old pic

UfoZ8myCow · 12-23-2006, 04:24 PM

Watch out dude... FNs might not be baller enough wheels for some of the members on this board...

Rezlo · 12-23-2006, 04:29 PM

lol, baller, not me,

Im just tired of wheel spinning down the 1/4 mile, went out on thursday night to the local track and wheel spun to near the end of 3rd before it started to hook up with sticky 225/50/16 Yokohama AVS's

Im hoping a set of 265 odd 17" tires will help that a bit considering in my class i have to run regular street tires.

Team Rootbeer · 12-23-2006, 04:50 PM

haha thats my car up there^

Rezlo · 12-23-2006, 04:55 PM

Looks damm good to!

Thanks for the fast reply to my email

S13-Silvia · 12-23-2006, 06:36 PM

What are the specs on the motor?

UfoZ8myCow · 12-23-2006, 06:56 PM

This looks RAD.

S13-Silvia · 12-23-2006, 08:37 PM

^^I think thats when he fully polished them.

chmercer · 12-23-2006, 09:07 PM

at least get 17x9 +15 17x10 +25. how the hell would you even drive a 400+hp car with 9 inch rear wheels anyway.

Britt · 12-23-2006, 09:09 PM

I'm running 275's and 235's on my fn 17x8 and 17x9...and they don't stick out past the body...www.cardomain.com/id/lilrig...with the same offsets you have.

chmercer · 12-23-2006, 09:22 PM

wtf you put 275 on a 9j? is that even in the reccomended width range? yargh

Rezlo · 12-24-2006, 02:02 AM

Hey Britt, that combo looks damm good, You say thats a 17X8+15 and 17X9+25?

Rb is mostly bolt on's, methanol injecton, GT3040 .86ar, nismo pumps, good intercooler and exhaust system, shitty managment which is about to get changed to AEM ectr.

275 is almost square on the 9j.

Most of the American muscle car guys run 275s on their 9j's as that's what comes stock on cars that are equipped with 9" wide wheels, like the WS6 Trans Am.

chmercer · 12-24-2006, 09:28 PM

ive seen ws6 with 315s on the stock wheels. clean

ugh i hate tires that are wider than the wheels

looks like a truck or some shit

whatever, id never put more than a 255/40 on a 17x9

275 on a 9 is prefect.

maybe if the tires were labeled incorrectly and it was actually a 255, yeah.

brewster240 · 12-25-2006, 08:29 AM

here is a s14.5 with 17x8 +35 front, and 17x9 +35 rear.

honestly these wheels fit better on my s13, i would have put 17x9+20's on the front and 17x10's rear.

koukimonster139 · 12-25-2006, 08:39 AM

hooomg i feel sorry for that s14.

brewster240 · 12-25-2006, 08:55 AM

no no, dont feel sorry yet.....

now feel sorry.

and if you want to feel real bad, it got the s15 nose because the original 97 nose was fucked in a previous accident.
