right now i'm running 225x45x17 on my 17x9.

!Zar! · 09-03-2007, 11:19 AM

Don't be dumb. Go 17x9 +15 in the front and 17x10 +12. You will need a roller and a small pull. Depending on tire size.

Why the hell would you want skinnier tires in the front?????? Even tire width on all 4 gives the car a more balanced feel. It also make the car easier to rotate through the center of the corner, has more responsive turn in, and makes it easier to throttle steer. How about instead of staggering your tire sizes to make the car more stable you actually spend the time and money to LEARN TO DRIVE and SET UP YOUR SUSPENSION! I bet you stretch your tires like a dumbass to look cool don't you?

TheSquidd · 09-13-2007, 12:55 AM

Never said smaller tires.

I could run 215's on a 9 and 10. And the stretch on the rear tire would give me much less grip than the front.

You're a tool, aren't you?

I'm a tool? I'm not the one following the popular (and gay) trend of running staggered wheels and tires and stretching the tires to look "cool". Not one racecar on the face of the earth has stretched tires and the vast majority of touring cars do not run staggered tire sizes. So before you decide to call someone a "tool" you might wanna think about what a "tool" really is, anyone who goes against the popular trends and uses their own brain and experience to establish their opinions is not a "tool".

Gjohnson7 · 09-03-2007, 12:01 PM

Not sure why you want 17 x 10 up front, but it's not my car. Have you checked out the wheel fittment thread. I would spend sometime looking at that thread and go from there.

240truk · 09-03-2007, 04:30 PM

heres 17x10 +12 all around on an s14

Oh yah, thats also before the 25mm spacers in the rears...

Rear fenders are pulled enough that I cleared a 10.5J -8mm and the rims sat right where the fender lip ends.

s14gj · 09-05-2007, 10:55 PM

any pic of 10" fn's on a s13 in front?

Bushido · 09-03-2007, 06:33 PM

why would you go 17x9 up front if you have overfenders... you got nothing to worry about with 17x10 up front, fitment wise.
FN's look wack, but at least the 10's have cool concave spokes.

s14gj · 09-03-2007, 07:47 PM

just don't know if i should do +12 or +25 in front??

You're more likely to kill your tierods when driving. Unless this car was made to sit and look pretty.

He could get a spacer to fill out the fenders if he wished. You don't gain tons of space up front anyways.

Better bust out the hammer.

s14gj · 09-04-2007, 11:40 AM

thanks for the info. guess i'll buy a pair of 17x10 +12 and try them.

unless he upgraded already right?

s14gj: what offsets are in those pics?

drifxtfx1 · 09-03-2007, 08:12 PM

+12 in front

!Zar! · 09-04-2007, 12:14 PM

Upgraded his tierods? I would hope he would replace those busted ass stock pieces before trying to swing with such wide tires.

I was talking about aftermarket. Fuck oem.

Aftermarket ones will break eventually after rocking such wide tires in the front.

Bushido · 09-04-2007, 01:06 PM

s14gj,

you got 30mm overs, what are you worried about?
17x10+25 is going to be sunk as shit and hit the coilover.

17x10+12 add a 20-25mm spacer. stretch 225/40's
hammer the fender wells where the wheel rubs.
upgrade to peak pro outer/inner tie rods.

!Zar! is right about the wheel not being the ideal size, but you can make it work if you deem it worth the look of the concave spokes, i think its worth it. If you're going to rock FN's like everyone else, at least do it with style.

!Zar! · 09-04-2007, 01:11 PM

Does nobody listen when I say the tierods will break. Aftermarket or not.

Ugh I give up.

Bushido · 09-04-2007, 01:19 PM

gotta pay to play.

liv2drift045 · 09-04-2007, 01:34 PM

sorry to hear yours [tierods] busted !zar! as im assuming thats why you're so positive they will... i rocked this setup up front for a year or so no 2 different cars,(my sil-80 and my cefiro) one w/ after market ends/ one w/ stock...neither failed me..guess im just lucky

OP dont expect not to get some negativity when you post up questions like this... its advice...whether or not you choose to take heed is up to you...

is !zar! right that you MAY damage tie rods/ends rocking 10j's up front... possibly, but others on this site myself included have done it w/ no trouble

!Zar! · 09-04-2007, 01:32 PM

True. I'm all for that. But this isn't one of those cases imo.

But like I said. The OP prob won't even track the car so it's cool.

Yea, you're probably right...

!Zar! · 09-04-2007, 01:37 PM

I'm not saying it's impossible.

Just that many people on this board have had issues with such large wheel.

I'm not against it 100% I'm putting 10j's on the front on another one of my cars.
