Wheel Fitment Question Thread

[ocn]

i cant remember the offset when i bought these for my r32 gtr, but i brought them back to the states with me i think they are 265/35 18x10+18 or +19. will they fix my coupe? i have 5 lug conversion hubs coming in the mail.

here they are on my (well not any more) gtr

[JonathanPrem]

They should fit with roll and slight pull. Maybe a small stretch in the front.

ok cool, i figured i would need a pull that is what i wanted. to have them fitted nice and snug.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Looking at the rear wheels, I highly doubt those are 18x10 +18s. If they are 10j, I'm thinking in the 30s.

lol so u think they will fit with some pull?

[fliprayzin240sx]

Why dont you put it on and find out? Not exactly rocket science...

But realistically, not with those tires and 10j fronts on an S13 is gonna be a bitch...

[ocn]

lol because im waiting for all my parts to come in, just pcs'd back to the states have 4 lug hubs an a blown motor .. till be putting the new motor in soon, and i dont want to swap the hubs just to find out they dont fit at all lol, then i could figure out if i should sell em an grab a different set an rock my stock wheels in the mean time .. btw do you know hoyu?

Edit: and your right there 18x9J i found a stamp on the inside .. and i think the offset is 18 there was another stamp inside the wheel.

[killer240]

Broadfield had a 18x8 +21 and it cleared his front stoptech calipers

I have front Sti brembo calipers. Will 18x10 +20 clear them, is this a good size to run for a S13?

[JN1AS4]

I just bought a set of wheels in (4)17x9 +22 for my stock body s13 coupe with megan coils/ ruca. My front fenders are stock. But in the rear the inner lips were trimmed(removed). It was done professionally. So the cut is perfectly straight/smooth. It was cut precise enough to have been done by a machine or something. But I wouldn't mind a slight pull in the rear but I'm not sure if its possible now that the inner lips were previously trimmed. Ill have the fronts rolled though in the next couple of days. My plan was to run 255/40/17 sq. setup. And I'm not looking to run any ridiculous amounts of negative camber. Nor am I trying to follow that HELLAFLUSH trend. But I do need the car to look good. SO NO MONSTER TRUCKING..lol. So do you think any of this will be a problem?

You're coming from Yokota or Travis? Yah, I definitely know Hoyu...

If its only 9j, should fit the front with minimal work. Rears, you'd need to roll and pull but those tires are still to wide for it.

lol im comin from yokota, but i was stationd at travis from 05-08 im pretty sure i met you over at his house one day, pxracing an all that .. he helped me swap my motor at his house, i bought nino's old motor.. and as far as the tires go i dont mind if they are to wide as long as i can ride on em till i can find a good fitted set of wheels. thanks

That cannot be determined by simply looking at the specs you listed. Every wheel is different. If it's a 2-piece or 3-piece then offset does NOT effect caliper clearance... the face of the wheel effects caliper clearance. If it's a 1-piece wheel then the face, which is determined by offset, will determine caliper clearance. We need to know the EXACT wheel and specs that you are going with to determine if they will clear or not. If you are buying a 2-piece or 3-piece, then you simply choose your wheel and offset, then select the face that will clear the brakes. Keep in mind that the offset is just the face moving in or out within the barrel on a multi-piece wheel... which is why the offset has no effect on caliper clearance.

Even going from a 2-piece Meister to a 3-piece Meister of the same exact wheel specs I had to go to a different face on the 3-piece to get them to clear. On my 2-piece Meisters I was able to run an A-Disk up front on the Stoptechs. However, on the 3-piece Meisters, I had to run an R-Disk up front.

On S14, rear chargespeed fender (+50).

18x11 -20 it's good fitment (tyre 245/40) ?

it is not too much ?

thank you

I ran 215/40 perfectly on my 9.5. Should be good for you and the stretch will look alot better depending on tire.

What was bad about 215/35? Im planning doing it this summer with my 9.5 since 40's rubbed alot.

[d_nice]

^^^^^^^^^^^IS this on what car s13 or s14

i have 225/35/18 on a 18x9.75 and it looks great.

i had a 215/35/18 on a 18x9.5 before and the stretch was too much for me.

so i would personally run 225/35/18. hope this helps.

[maxxxfly]

Quick question. I'm running 18x9.5 +20 with 225/40s (Kumhos). My front is pissing me off. It rubs the living shit out of the fender when I take a corner fast enough or hit a bump mid corner. This only affects the outside wheel. I'm running -3 camber up front.

Question-If I max my camber out do you think it would create more camber at lock, thereby tucking the tire in? O and the lips are rolled flat, no pull. I don't want to run anymore camber because the wheel is already sunk like crazy. I don't get how people run 9.5 +0/5 and dont fuck there fender from driving.

Heres my height:

[RickS14]

19x9.5 +22 Fronts
19x11 +25 Rears

235/35/19 front
265/30/19 rear

I want this all with stock metal.
Sorry I have little knowlegde with wheel/tire set ups.
Any Insight is appreciated.also it's a s14

Do 19" really look that bad?In pics they look pretty good to me never seen in person.maybe up close looks like not so good?

[zooopreme]

19's + visually acceptable/drivable on a S-chassis are a no go. A couple of people do it for the rears only and end up hating it. It's a lot of hammering and a hassle to make it look good.

And the specs you put up are just ridiculous to even make an attempt.

18's on a S-Chassis can be a bit of work but it's doable.

[RickS14]

Man the specs are that bad?
I got them from a rep at a wheel company. I told him what I wanted and that's what he gave me.
I will stay away from 19" then
Just looking for a nice flush type of fit.i just like the look that the lip of the rim sort of lines up with the body or maybe a little poked out. Any ideas?
Thanks

[zooopreme]

You mean like this?




The bare minimum to achieve this look is to have wheels with the right offset, tires, & suspension parts to correct alignment which ties into wheel fitment.

19's are humongous and to achieve acceptably low ride height with 19's in hard even with stretched tires. To sum it up, it's a world of hassle when you could be going with 17's or 18's.

As a rule of thumb for myself, I like S14's with 18's with a minimum of 17's and S13's with 17's with the maximum of 18's for the rear. S14's have plenty of room underneath the wheel wells so running sizes like 10 up front or 10.5 in the rear is a doable tasks without having to weld in tubs or bust out the hammer of Zeus to make them fit--granted that the offsets are on point and not poking too far out or rubbing on the strut/coilover housing.

I'm being generous in lecturing you about this. I have gone on rants in this thread when people ask similar questions to the ones asked before--yours being one of them as well. So to be fair to others, do your research. This thread is full of S14 questions and specs and so is this thread: http://zilvia.net/f/chat/129865-whee...s-no-post.html and also, google helps as well. It really helps.

[fliprayzin240sx]

17s for S13, 18s for S14. 19s does not belong on any S-chassis, just too damn big. Staggered 18/19 on S14s is the only exception to the 19s rule.

[yomisiu]

there was this s14 with 19's all around that didnt look too bad.

pictures are dead now and this is all i could grab.



helm:

Front 19x9.5 12 225/35/19 stock arms fender rolled Rear 19x10.5 12 245/35/19 stock arms panel rolled with slight pull

[christianos13]

okay got a question.

got a s13 hatch with coilovers fortune auto 500 on my car nothing else yet

i have it slammed on stock wheels

Bought some xxr926 17x9 +35.

what will i have to do to not have them rub in the front and rear?

what will be a good tire size? do want to have a crazy strecth on the tires.

will i need spacers?? and if so what size??

i know i will have to get the fenders rolled and pull a little

Thanks for the help.
