In the process of ordering a set of welds for my s14. Looking to do a set of 28x10.5 15 inch rim(rear) and 17 inch runner upfront. Curious to know what offset or backspacing is best. Does anyone have a picture or a DRAG wheel on a 4.5 backspacing

[turbo-2ns]

8in is way to small for a 28.10.5

4.5in spacer?

Corrected. See above

[turbo-2ns]

Well than IMO 8in is way to small for a 28.10.5, and 4.5in of spacer is way to much , why would you ned this much spacer. Buy correct backspace or something close and use a small spacer

[alwaysnboost]

Just spoke with a very nice rep from Jegs and a fellow s13 owner himself! Here is what we came up with.

Weld alumi stars up front 17X4.5 with a 2 inch backspacing 26 inch tall upfront

Weld alumi stars out back 15x9 with 5.0 backspacing. a 27X10.5 tire most likely Mickey Thompson dot. Mind you I make 4xx to the tire and its a 95.

[Tom N]

No need for that much tire with 4xx hp.

[Sforteen]

5inch backspace isnt enough for a 15x9 you need at least a 6 inch

6.75 to 7 inch BS is about perfect for a 9 inch wheel

[Tom N]

I use 5.5in BS on a 15x8 and they fit perfectly.
Not sure if you can really tell in this picture.

[turbo-2ns]

15×9 with a 5in bs will stick out, need 6.5

On the motor you're correct, but I plan on adding some boost this season

He said 15x9 a whole inch wider...

Not to mention your fenders are pulled alot...

I'm Well aware he said 9in. I'm just saying what fit nicely as a 8in wheel. If one can do math they can figure the BS they will need for a 9in wheel.

Getting ready to swap the q45 differential into my s13 and wanted to see if you guys that are running those are leaving them stock or shimming them? Was going to just leave it stock. Car will be putting down 600ish whp hopefully.

[turbo-2ns]

Q45 uses a sealed lsd, to my knowledge it can't be shimmed

[1988montecarloss]

any guys running really low cars with a 22-23" slick on the back?

[turbo-2ns]

Way way too small, we use them on all motor Hondas up to about 300whp then move up to a 24.5 above that.

my car is only around 300whp, id have to raise it to run 24.5"

[blue88coupe]

pretty low car, 26" ET drag slick on a 15x10x6.5 wheel

So determine what your priorities are, either drag the car's balls in the dirt or run a useable suspension setup capable of transmitting power to the ground. In other words raise it, it doesn't handle worth a damn THAT low anyway. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Low street/drift car is the main priority with my s chassis, was just curious if anyone had run a tire that small on a strip as I might mess aroud with some local 1/8 mile stuff this summer, If I can find some 22/23" slicks cheap enough I will try it, can't do any worse than my 205/50 will

[zurud]

My friend run 22" slick on his s13. He got 1.7 60 foot and 7.8 in 1/8 mile. I think 22" n is not bad if you really want to use it

This is what I was lookin for, if I could pull a 1.6-1.7 60' at my local track I'd be content with that, that's a lot better than my 205/50 will get me

May I ask what your rear tire specs are in this pic?

Mickey Thompson 26x10.5x15 ET Street's

[Stumped]

What kind of rear camber are you guys running? I'm running a 27x10.5x15 hoosier on a 10 inch wheel with about 750 rwhp. Just looking for a good starting point

[jr_ss]

If it's a drag only car, you'll want positive static camber. When you squat, you'll dip in to the negatives. I'd start at +.5 and sdjust from there.

[Stumped]

I'll be adding a racepak later on and can use shock travel sensors to get a good idea how much the car is squating when it spins and set the camber to zero at that height but thats a few months down the road.

Finally Ripped off a Decent pass!!

Heavy 3300ish w/me S14 Kouki RB25 on E85 24psi

[alwaysnboost]

Nice work. At that mph you're sure to be in the nines. Are you spinning in second?
