Wheel Fitment Question Thread

[jlmillionaire]

S14 one set with the 33 offset is work rezax and the other set is work xsa with the +30 0ffset

[jlmillionaire]

What tires are better for daily driving

[seagrasser]

Need an opinion on this set up (general fit, need for spacers).

Car: s14

Wheel specs: 18×8 30mm offset / 18×8.5 33mm offset (350z touring v2)
Tires: Front, 225 40 18; Rear, 265 35 18

Suspension: Silkroad coilovers, stock arms and rods
Ride height: Lowish but daily friendly (say 2" all around at most).
Brakes: z32 all around

[jlmillionaire]

So my next ? What size tires should I get and spacers and camber adjustments to get the rims flush

[zooopreme]

20mm spacers will make them sit nice. Camber depends on what you've done with your fenders. You can daily with -2.75-3* up front and -2* in the rear at most.

Spacers needed for clearance or looks?

[fliprayzin240sx]

Looks, those wheels are gonna be sunk as hell without them...

Hey guys,

I have an S14 that I want to put some Diamonds,Aero, Jegs, Welds, etc on.

I'm looking for something to mount some drag radials or slicks in the back. So I'm most likely looking at some 15x8's, and I was thinking a 4" backspace? What do you guys think?

Car has Tein Flex Coils

Thanks!

today i test fitted the 18x9+ 30 in the rear they stick out about a inch, mind you i did it with out tires and car jacked up. im ineed for a fender roll and what is a good size tire?

[JonathanPrem]

^ It will mostly tuck in a lot. I would run 235/35 or 245/35

Flip need your help on offset since i cant do that stuff.

18x11 -45 Low disk and it will be on s14 with 50mm widebody. Can it be down with say -5 camber?

Umm...its gonna stick out since you dont have it on the ground. No, you still dont need a damn roll in the rear.

Stock R34 GTR wheels 18x9+30


Since spoon feeding is your style...225/40-18 all around.

All depends on how much more you can bow those fenders out. In my head, stock fenders with minor pull can deal with 10.5j +15. Your setup will stick out 63mm further out than those. So theoretically, with 50mm fenders, your wheels will stick out another 13mm. If you bow the fenders out, you can push them further than 50mm.

Also, theoretically, every 1* of camber is about 5mm. So -3 degree should give you 15mm.

I know i asked some stupid obvious questions, but i just want to make sure i get the rite thing before i spend my hard earned money. thanks once again flip

Car: s14

How high of an offset can i go before my wheel hits the rear coilover? I'm dropping the car on Stance GR's and i want to run a 18x10 with either a 245/40 or a 255/40. I'm mainly worried about inner clearance. Fenders are rolled, but not pulled. I don't really want to pull unless necessary.

I think my end setup will be
F: 18x9.5 +15 on 235/40
R: 18x10 +?? on 245/40 or 255/40
...Anyone happen to have pics or experience with something similar? Thanks!

[iVanRoz]

What's the widest wheel I could run on my s14 up front? I'm running a staggered set up currently 18x7.25 in the front and 18x9 in the back (I think don't really remember)


The fronts are sunk in and it bothers me. I was thinking either going wider or putting spacers in the front to get it fit better. What do you guys think?

You can run +30 and it would clear the suspension in the rear. Most of the time, folks run +15 if you're okay with some camber and some pull. My recommendation is run something in the middle, +20 to +25 is good.

Pretty common for S14 guys to run 10js up front. I'm running 18x10 +22 with 15mm spacers, so +7. I'm running 10.5 +10 in the rears...

[Cdawg240]

Title kind of explains it, but will 17x10 +20 be "fit" for an s13 coupe, im looking to go clean but not crazy offsets and what not, im on kyb struts and eibach spring combo right now (i know horrible, just coilovers are expensive.)

[archonftw]

flip you like live in this thread don't you?

[2muchboost]

^^^If he didnt 3/4 of the questions on here wouldnt have been answered Thanks Flip for living here and providing some knowledge.

[Maston904]

Wheel fitment question for S14. I'm looking at the Varrstoen 111 18x9.5 +12 front and 18x10.5 +15 rear. Will these work and what size tires should I run. I'm lowered on full coilovers no other suspension parts but the front does have camber adjustment at the top. My fenders are rolled but not pulled unless necessary. Need help asap!

[Maston904]

[QUOTE=zooopreme;5154741]You mean like this?





Do you know the specs on these wheels. This is exactly what I'm looking for! Thanks for thr help in advance

If you're still on struts, shit will stick out since you cant lower the car to tuck the wheels in. But then again, the wheels will hit the struts.

They will work, but you'd need to pull the fenders if you dont want to run too much camber. For the rears, you need atleast some adjustable Rear Upper Control Arms (RUCA) and toe arms.

18 x 9.5 +3 F

18 x 9.0 +9 F
18 x 10.0 +5 R

Thx. About to order. Any tire recommendation

[fliprayzin240sx]

225/40-18 fronts and 235/40-18 rears, thats what I'm running.

[coupster]

Ok this is my situation I want to pick up some XXR 531 plats for my s13 coupe. The sizes I am lookin at are 17x9 +25 up front and a 17x10 +20 in the rear. I currently am only running lowering springs but I will be buying some coils soon. Will these wheel look flush with my current setup and what tires spec should I go with?

I've been running 225-40-18 fronts for a while now, and I think that I'm going to step down to either a 215/40/18 or a 225/35/18 if I get new tires before new wheels. I've run an 18x9.5 + 20 at -2deg camber and -4.5 deg camber and an 18x9.5 + 5 at -4.5 deg camber and had rubbing issues with each setup on my S14. Fenders are rolled, inner fenders have been beaten with a sledge hammer multiple times, etc. Though, I'm also 'lower' than some people, so this might be part of my issue.

IIRC, this was +5, -4.5deg up front.



(Rear is an 18x9.5 +20 with a 225/40/18 and -2deg camber, IIRC - in case anyone cares)

[fliprayzin240sx]

^^^Then it also depends on the tire you run. I've been running dunlop star specs 225/40-18 for the last 5 yrs. Switched to Michelin PSS beginning of this year since they stopped shipping in star specs (and star spec II were not available yet) and those fuckers are tall. I've eaten my passenger side fender so many times after switching, that I need to replace the damn fender cuz its fatigued as fuck.

[elucid]

Alright guys, i want to dial in some more low, need some suggestions with my setup, and alignment.

S13
Enkei RPF1
245/40/18Front 265/35/18 Rear
18x10.5+15 all 4 corners.
30mmfront/50mmrear over fenders.

I don't have much problem dropping the rear but the fronts can't go much lower then they are now due to tire rubbing inside wheel well(not fender) When dropped i can't turn my shit more than half!

I don't know my current alignment specs but i know it's pretty off. What are some suggestions to be able to drop the front? IE camber amount, subframe bushing, tire size. or am i just fkd with running this size in the front. My wire harness is also not re-routed but i plan to do that soon.
