Anyone running a 9" wide +24 (or similar) wheel on an s14? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

If so, any problems with your suspension setup? If Possible, post a picture.

Dousan_PG · 06-14-2005, 11:57 AM

no easy fit. up front could have a problem w/ coilover but thats about it. should be ok though front and definately a=ok rear. its a decent setup.

420sx · 06-14-2005, 11:57 AM

i think u need +22 to clear most coilvers. but shox/stut/springs setup should clear fine

KiDyNomiTe · 06-14-2005, 11:59 AM

I am assuming you are talking about mustang wheels, IIRC they come in 9" +24 and 10" +24. Might need like a 5-10mm spacer to clear some coilovers. Should sit fine in the fenders depending on camber.

Search for mustang wheels to see pics of fitment.

Youuuuu, you're good you!

Yes you are correct those are the correct sizes for the those Bulliitt wheels. I plan on running the 9" +24 all around though. The Bullitt wheels i've seen actually mounted on an s14 are from AznCmb but he's running the oem offset wheels which are +30. I spoke to him and he claims there should be enough space between his MR coilovers and a +24 offset wheel.

I'm just starting to get a grip on understanding coilovers and also relating the information I get off the offset calculator to the setup. But I don't know how to determine if they will clear the coilovers i'm considering without actually seeing them (KTS, MR, & Tein SS)

Any pictures?

What's your suspension setup?

trsilvias13 · 06-14-2005, 12:54 PM

i want to see the billet wheel off the mustang too. i like the look not sure how it looks like on the 240sx. i see most people choose the cobra wheels, but different stroke for different folks.

lol... ok.. can you post your pictures?

projectRDM · 06-14-2005, 01:31 PM

18x9, +19s on mine. Clearance is fine everywhere. They're Volk CV Pros.

The Bullitt wheels won't clear Z32 brakes without a 5mm spacer, never tried them with coilovers though.

I won't have to worry about that, i'm still using stock brakes. They are sufficient enough for me at this point.

I did eyeball that from the pictures I've seen and thought that they would clear z32 brakes... Guess I was wrong.

thanks!

you have any pictures of your car you can post up?

I have a few somewhere, I'll dig around for them.

17x9 +25 is minimum front clearance for coilovers on an S14. Go from there.

depends on Coilovers too....

i.e. 18x9 +24 fit on my Cusco Comp Zero 2's, but they didnt fit on my Tanabe Sustec Pro DD's and sure as hell didnt fit on Tein HE's on my friends car

Siizzzoooo · 06-14-2005, 01:56 PM

18x9 +20 up front up mine, clears easily

Gram Light 57S Pro

*revat619* · 06-14-2005, 02:02 PM

17x9 + 5 up front for me (R33 gt-r w/ 25mm spacer) clears all day.

soon to be running 18x9.5 +12 upfront. clears easily as well.

OptionZero · 06-14-2005, 05:12 PM

i was going off GR6's (nzo's old car?)

ZK · 06-14-2005, 05:17 PM

What's with you S14 guys and Mustang wheels...

I don't like the way any of stock Mustang wheels look.

ghambino · 06-15-2005, 12:16 AM

Its not always about looks. If it gets the job done, thats all that matters sometimes.

neilio85 · 06-15-2005, 12:26 AM

Just got my r33's on 17x9 +30 with about an 8mm spacer on the front. Spacer was needed to clear coilovers, but I just need to take out my fender lining because its rubbing. Here's a few pics.

Looks nice. No spacer in the rear though? The pictures are little dark, do you have any shots of the it in better lighting or during the day time? Just curious to see if I might need to roll my fenders or stretch my tires a tiny bit in the rear to get a 9" +24 wheel back there.

what kind of c/o's are you running?

KOUKI KA-T · 06-15-2005, 06:43 AM

I technically own 17x9 +22 front and rear on mine, if Rays would just get them to me. (been over 3 months)

Maybe I'll have pics for you soon, I have KTS coilovers and there's plenty of room to fit a 9" with a decent tire, I'll be running 245-40's all around on mine.

All comes down to a matter of opinion. I really like some of these Ford wheels, and for the sizing, it's kind of hard to beat the price on a brand new wheel.

The most important thing though is the fact that the roads in and around NYC are the worst i've ever seen (FL, LA, Vegas, San Fran, PA). The last thing I want to do is buy and wait 3-4 months for a set of expensive 57pro's (like I orignally wanted) only to seriously fuck them up driving on these roads.

240trainee · 06-14-2005, 05:15 PM

I plan on fitting some of these to my car, replicas go for like $500 on ebay, can't beat that, lol. beat ass S13 with full 300zx and bullit wheels. uuummmmmmmm

p11driver · 06-15-2005, 12:16 PM

i have 17x9 +22 upfront and tanabe coilovers, front is pretty low and fits fine.
