17x9 +15 with 245s on S13 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I have a set of 17x9 +15 rims. I would like to run 245/45/17 Azenis all around. Im pretty sure I can fit the tires on the rear of the car with some camber because my rear fenders are pulled about 2" by Dousan. I was wondering though, will I need to get wide fenders in the front, or is there anyway I can make these wide tires fit with stock fenders? Will I be able to dial in enough camber to make it work with camber plates?

oh BTW this is a s13 hatch with HEs and all adjustable arms...

Thanks, Jason.

Nagra.... HELL no! First problem, those 245/45 are WAY bigger than stock size. Besides your speedo being off, our wheel wells arent big enough to accomodate such low offsets and tall overall diameter. 245/45/17 was the stock size tires for SKYLINE GTR, a car thats like 50% bigger than an S chassis.

Anway, get 235/40/17 for the rear and 215/40/17 for front (jk i know you arent hardcore like me). Front... somethin like 225/45/17 (yuck... its SO tall...).

What I will be running: 215/40/17 Azenis in front and (right now) 225/45/17 RE750s in rear. We'll see how this works out for drift. I may not have enough power for such a grippy rear tire, in which case i will go with 225/45/17 FM901....
