New to fitment... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I just picked up a stock S14 Saturday and I am already thinking about wheels and coilovers. I got rid of my evo a few months ago and I never had an aggressive fitment on it (17x9 +29), so I can't decide what will fit or what wont. After I'm done with my 5-lug conversion...

I'm thinking of 18x9+35 (plus a spacer) in the front, and 18x10.5+20 in the rear. I do plan on going pretty low, but it is my DD so I can't be rubbing all the time.

I don't want a huuuge stretch, but something mild would be fine. What size tires would be good, and will I have to pull my fenders or not?

I'm sorry for my noobness, I searched but didn't really find what I was looking for.

My setup right now is 18x9 +12 and 18x10 +19. Tire sizes are 235/40 and 245/40. To me, this is a good looking stretch- definitely noticeable, but not crazy at all. Like you said, its mild. I'm on a stock body S14 and this fits on stock camber settings quite nicely.

I find it amazing how people can still, in this modern age of car forums and ownership, that you idiots can't read the FAQ's and Stickies on the top of the forum sections, yet are able to hit the 'new post button' directly above it

First thread in General Chat, the Wheel Fitment thread.
http://zilvia.net/f/chat/129865-whee...s-no-post.html

....then a few day, the rubber fitment area:

...and even a thread SPECIFICALLY for small questions
http://zilvia.net/f/chat/297481-smal...w-threads.html

BUT the most important one:
