Wheel Fitment Question Thread

[PeaceOnesxWai]

^What car? Are the wheels original offset +25 or +17?

[fliprayzin240sx]

Should work with a roll and maybe a slight pull depending on which chassis it is. S13s are smaller compared to S14s.

Sorry. I left out it's for a S13 hatch. The wheels original offset are +17. Then the dual caliper bracket is basically a 8mm spacer.

Flatten the inner lip and you will be good. Run 215 or 225 w/ 40 sidewalls

ive been looking at getting some new wheels for my s14. i was just wondering if 18x10 -44's would fit under 30mm front fenders with out ridiculous camber

[PeaceOnesxWai]

^Ive seen something similar to that size fit under S14 stock fenders.. but this S14 was extremely pulled. Very high negative offset but should fit under 30mm since they are only 10s. Camber should be around -3 to -5

50mm fenders...Yes. 30mm...not so much. You'd pretty much have to bow the ever living crap out of it to fit, might as well get 50mm.

If you're thinking of running this up front...BWAHAHAHAHAHA...

Will a set of Work Emotion xt7's fit my stock body s14 without spacers? I know fender work is to be expected.

Specs:

Fronts: 18x8.5 +32
Rears: 18x9.5 +38

Those sizes will fit easy

Hey guys,

Will 18x10 +10 Work Meisters A-Disk clear the front of an S13 with Z32 Front Brakes?

A-disk, you'll probably need some spacers which will make your fitment a PAIN IN THE ASS!!! 10js in general is a pain in the ass up front on S13s.

Hmm, planning on the S1 3P so I'm thinking the spokes would give a more clearance.. If I need spacers for that size, I'll just get a lower offset.

Thanks for that though flip

Does anyone know for sure if they will fit or not?

Getting lower offset wont help you. You need to get the Big Brake faces.

My recommendation for you is go 18x9.5j +12 R-disk and stretch some 215/40-18s up front.

Oh, okay. I have 20mm front fenders with a 17x10 +12 and a 225 tire right now. No camber with still a little bit of room.. I guess to be on the safe side I'll go with the R-Disk or L-Disk, then.

Thanks!

Got a set of work kiwami 18x9.5 30+ all around the fronts are touching the coil with -3 camber. Is running a 15mm spacer going to clear or is 20mm better?

[dorinights13]

This is for an s13 btw^^^^

[PeaceOnesxWai]

^Negative camber wont change the spacing from coil to wheel. Yes, 15mm will clear, but make sure you tuck your under the fender wires. 18s+lowered S13 will chew the chassis harness up.

Your issue would not be the fender clearance with 10js. Its going to be your wheel well/full lock clearance. That setup with rub at full lock left and right.

I got a question for some xd9s 18x10 plus 3 inch lip for a zenki s14 should I run 215/40s or 225/40s and do I need a spacer up front

18x10 +18, personally, 225/40...spacers will all depend on what coilover/suspension you have. Wont really know till you put it on. Shouldn't be anything crazy or higher than 5mm at most.

[PeaceOnesxWai]

Cant wrap my head around figuring out what offset the wheels will be when you flip the barrels inside out on a 3pc wheel.. Anyone know?

Is it really just simple.. +10 offset, flip it and it will be -10 offset?

[c0nc0n]

Planning to run 235/40/18 on 18x10.5 +15 CR Kiwami on rear end of S13 hatch.

Currently running 18x9+13 (225/40) and it's reasonably close. How much camber will I need to run to get the new set up to clear? Will I have inside lip and strut clearance problems?

So I got a new set of wheels.... Wed kranze Vishunus front 18x10 -14 with 225/35 tires rears 18x12.5 -44 on 265/35 tires... waiting on 50mm charge speeds to get here late this month just wanting to get an idea of how much camber id need to tuck the rear? This guy seems to easily be tucking his 18x13 wheels with 50mm charge speed overs however not sure of his camber or his offset... any help would be appreciated

Hey guys got a question. I just ordered xxr 521's Fronts 18x10 +25 Rears 18x10 +12, I have rolled my fenders already and during the rolling time I pulled my fronts a lil bit 3-5 mm's maybe. So what do I need to do to fit them? spacers, how much camber, tire size. I have pbm comptetion coilovers and would like to keep the body stock. I dont wanna slam my car but i wanna do about half inch from lip to fender. Thanks guys

[benarovi]

240 cali your gonna need a good amount. im gonna say around -8 or 9 degrees in rear. my buddy has around same size in rear on his s14 he had to bow out his 50mm fenders and crank it to like 8.5 9 degrees to fit.
fliprayzin what do you think?? it is pretty much your thread lol

My friend runs 12.5j -48

He has Origin Type 1 50mm's bowed out to probably like 70mm at least.

He's running just under -8*.

Thing is, chargespeed isn't a 'true' 50mm over-fender. And the way it wraps around your QP you can't bow it out. Chargespeed's really aren't for those crazy aggressive setups.

Also I would space the front out a bit just because the rears are going to poke so much.


The Bazreia's on the kouki are 13j -10... your wheels poke out 30mm more.

Good luck

You can PM me if you want a pic of what his rear setup looks like. He probably wouldn't want me to posting pics of his car.

[fliprayzin240sx]

^^^This...using the typical 10.5 +12 for a wheel offset reference, 12.5 -44 will push out 81mm further out. So 50mm wont really cover that unless you bow the ever living crap out if since you'd have to make up another 1" to 1.25".

[240Cali]

is there any 70mm overs for s14s or would origin type I be the best choice to try to bow to fit?

[benarovi]

just get the ait bmagic and bow it. they fit fine and you can get 50mm for like 350 shipped

Just to expand on this: changes in camber at the top hat, or from the LCA will not change the effective distance between the wheel and coil. Changes at the mounting bracket on the knuckle will changed the distance between the wheel and coil. If you have slotted mounting brackets like some coils (see fortune auto) you can use the lower bracket to fine tune you clearance and then use the top hat or LCA to dial in your camber spec.

Question: Looking at playing around with tire sizes again since my rears are just about gone and my fronts have seen better days. Thus far, I've run a 225/40/18 all around, and a 215/40/18 up front, 18x9.5 +20 all around with ~-2 camber, and the same rear setup with -4.5 camber up front and an effective 18x9.5 +5.

In a perfect world, I'd like to run the same tire front and rear, just to be able to swap them around to balance out some of the wear. Currently debating between 215/40/18 all around, 225/35/18 all around, and 215/35/18 all around - and they'll probably be Nakang NS-20's since they're cheap and I don't have a bunch of extra money at the moment.

Anyone have any input to share? I guess my biggest concerns are with running the 215/35 and 225/35, I'm curious to how aggressive the stretch will be in terms of tire deformation, I'd like to avoid de-beading tires once a week.
