Wheel Fitment Question Thread

[zooopreme]

On a serious note, why is everyone trying to push the boundaries with stock body? There's a reason why people run certain specs, BECAUSE THEY WORK WELL WITH STOCK BODIES.

If you want ridiculous sizes for the S13 you're going to spend ridiculous amounts of money on parts like suspension parts, overs, flares, etc.

or

18x10.5 +15 Front
18x10.5 0 Rear
225/40R

I know the rear will work with help of the negative camber but front? Can any body confirm this?

10.5 up front will require tubs. Unless you want serious rubbing on stock inner fenders.

10.5, in general, will require much more than your average roll/pull.

there was a 10mm spacer requirement.

20mm wide fenders should fix that issue?

Over fenders fix the outer clearance. The problem with 10.5 wheels is the fact that when you turn, the width of the wheel is so fat that the wheel will rub in the inner fender area. It will limit your turning radius which is why frsh, knoop, & I said you need tubs.

Bwaaaa?! I am heart broken! I guess maybe you forgot to mention that on your Rimtuck listing...

Well, I'll glad you told me now, before I actually tried to do it and came back here posting, trying to figure out why its not working! lol

But if that 10mm spacer was needed to clear the coilovers and not to keep the tire from rubbing on the inner fender, then my plan of 17x10+20 with Megan extended brackets may still work.

But you brought up a great point about pushing the boundaries of the stock body. If being able to post 17x10+20 with 235/40's up front under stock fenders and no spacers is that damn important to me, I just may be fucking up at life... Forum accolades and hard parking for pics make ppl think up silly shit sometimes... No offense to anybody.
