Wheel Fitment Question Thread

[ijarrold]

Alright guys, I've been using the search feature and haven't been able to find anything..

XXR 526 comes in 17x10 +20
My question is how would I get them to fit on my S14..I'm going 30mm wide fenders and going to use 25mm spacers up front. All tires are going to be 235/40.
Am I going to have to use spacers in the rear? How much pull? Should I just go overs in the rear?

I had 17x10 +15 on the rear of my last S14. It stuck out about 20-25mm. So it will probably stick out about 15-20mm in the rear, and fronts will stick out super far with 25mm spacers.

The rear would look ok, a little camber and stretch and it would sit flush-ish. The front is way too wide. Were talkin 50mm sticking out, even with 30mm overs up front, it will be 20mm outside those.

If youre trying to get that Stretched Tire Huge LIP Look, then youre on the right track.

I'm trying to get that look. What is the smallest spacer i could run? I have megan tracks. What tire size should i run to get a decent, but not over the top, stetch?

Shit dont make sense, why would you buy a square wheel setup, then run 25mm spacers up front?!?! You want the front to look wide as fuck but have skinny rears? If thats your goal, I guess you're going for the fwd drag look thats popular in Honda Tech.

Would the driving expirence change if I go from 195/60r15 to 195/50r15? Just wondering what the difference would be.

This is actually very common in drifting because a wide front track is needed for more steering angle.



specs here are 17x9-35 (-10 w/ 25mm extended FLCAs) front and 17x9+15 rear I believe. lol

Umm...how would pushing the wheels further out big you more steering angle? If it anything, shit will be worst since you'll rub in anything and everything.

Lol. Why do you think extending your LCA gives your wheel a different offset measurement. It Doesnt. Your still 17x9 -10 with a 25mm extended LCA. **NOT 17x9 -35 because of the LCA.** The offset is purely measured by the relation of where it mounts, it has nothing to do with suspension parts. FYI.

Dont need more noobs reading this believing your wrong info and then posting more ignorance thinking theyve learned something.

Of course it doesn't change your actual offset, I assumed that was common sense. It moves your wheel out 25mm more, which would be the same thing as having -35 offset for fitment purposes. I don't see why that information is relevant. We don't need noobs reading your comment and thinking extended FLCAs won't push their wheels out 25mm just like offset.

lolwut? More inner clearance = more steering angle and less rubbing. Pretty simple concept.

LMAO^^^ . It pushes the bottom out Giving it Permanent Camber. AGAIN THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS A SPACER CAUSING AN EFFECTIVE OFFSET OF -35. SOMEONE RETAINING STOCK LCA's USING A 25MM SPACER AND BOLTING ON YOUR WHEEL WILL FIT NOTHING LIKE IT DOES ON YOUR CAR.

AY YI YI. NOOB CITY. PLEASE READ UP ON WHEEL OFFSETS, SPACERS, EFFECTIVE OFFSETS, AND SUSPENSION PARTS. PLEASE EVEN POST THIS EXACT STATEMENT YOUR CLAIMING IN A THREAD OF ITS OWN. ID LOVE TO SEE WHAT IS SAID....

AT LEAST YOU KNOW HALF THE REASON WHY YOUR LCA WAS EXTENDED. THE OTHER HALF IS FOR THE CAMBER GAIN TO OBTAIN MORE GRIP THRU THE TURN AND ESPECIALLY AT FULL LOCK.

lolll

wider front track is for stability and turn in

the added camber is beneficial when you're at full lock.

True but it's mostly for inner fender/tension rod/FLCA clearance.
