Would this offset/wheel size work.....? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I currently have Eibach sportlines (1.9/1.7) drop with tokico blues, no camber kit. I want to get the most agressive wheel/tire package possible without stretching the tires too much. This is what I have come up with after some calculation, but dont know if this will clear suspension -

Front - 18x9 225/40/18 +25 or +20 (i dunno)
Rear - 18x10 255/40/18 +25

Thanks for the help anyone who can!

+25 in front is perfect. +25 in the rear is gonna take some crazy camber and fender rolling to make fit on a 10" wheel. do between 35 and 40 instead.

Run +45 in the rear...

I have 17X9, +25 all around...with a ~2" drop from Tein HEs - The front fit nicely (-2.5 degrees of camber), but the rears leave NO room for more tire (even with -2 camber) - But I have 1.25" of more clearance on the inside.

So add and inch to my rears, and it would ALL have to be under the fender - Hence a +45, maybe even +50. But don't worry - It will still be flush with the fender.

Later- Brian

orion::S14 - - On your car, can you tell if you increased total diameter of the wheel/tire setup, would it be okay? I really want to run the most agressive 18 inch setup that I can.

Bump.

You can find out the circumfrence of the tire really easily. Just go to tire rack and look at 18" tires and see what the respective circumfrences are. Stock is 24.2".

I know that...I'm talking about the width of the tire that comes close to the suspension...I'll increase the width 3 inches, but those 3 inches won't all be going on the outside.
