18x12 +20.... fits under a 50mm fender perfectly with no spacer.....

GripTerror · 03-31-2012, 12:05 PM

which therefore requires 10.5" to 11" rim

EsChassisLove · 03-31-2012, 03:19 PM

I love this thread.

EsChassisLove · 04-02-2012, 07:32 PM

I wanna know how he got a 18x10.5 +20 under there do well.

My 18x9.5 +20 stick out that far maybe a little farther. Pretty sure those are 9.5 rears though. A 275 is a little stretch on a 10.5. An I'm pretty positive those Works never came in 10.5.

There s no way that Is a 18x10.5 + 20. I run a 18x10.5 +15 in the back of my s14 and it looks nothing like that.

EsChassisLove · 04-06-2012, 03:35 PM

Since when does Rita make an 18x12

JFoxx · 04-06-2012, 05:38 PM

I think they are special order only....from what I've heard they are not too common of a size...

thenooblet · 04-06-2012, 06:47 PM

They're common in the UK....

EsChassisLove · 04-06-2012, 07:27 PM

Weird. I tied getting my Rotas in 10s all around but no go.

Viggs · 04-06-2012, 10:11 PM

Jfoxx, those may be the widest tires I have ever seen on a s13. What mm overfenders are those in the rear?

JFoxx · 04-06-2012, 10:44 PM

Thanks....they are 50mm rears... I got lucky with my wheel measurments...if the were even 5mm offset off either direction they wouldn't fit.....

I looked online... I can't find anyone else with 335's on an s13....

Any idea what kind of camber you have? Looks pretty close to 0 from the pics.

It's hard to find tires for any car wider than 335. So I'd say JFoxx Wins!

How bad did you have to bow those rear overs?

I have some 50mm rear overs to install, and I'm thinking about going 18x12 in zero offset, so I'd have to bow another 20mm out to get 335's under there.

How much clearance do you have inboard?
Was it only 5mm? And was that to the coils or what?

they are kts coilovers, i have probably about 10mm clearance on the inside. i didnt have to bow the overs that much at all, but i did have to shave the lip off of them.....

at a zero offset i dont think youl be able to tuck 335's with a 50mm over. unless your trying to seriously bow your overfenders out, and i think it wouldnt look good.....

EsChassisLove · 04-06-2012, 11:08 PM

How much were those Rotas? I want some 305s on my 14 but I can't fit that tire on my 9.5s haha

JFoxx · 04-07-2012, 12:06 AM

I bought them second hand, but they were brand new, still in box for 1200...

Flicktitty · 04-09-2012, 05:30 PM

Figured i'd post this here.

Looking into getting some new tires. Just looking for some opinions/options.

I've always been a big drag radial fan for the sheer traction advantage, Although the "fun" factor of being able to throw the car around curves and just have more then straight line fun is out of the question.

Looking into the
Falken Azenis RT-615K in a 275/40/17.
BFGoodrich G-Force T/a KDW2 in a 275/40/17. (always liked the look and feel of these)
Nitto NT-05 in a 275/40/17

Looking to stay in the 255-265-275 range for the rears. Looking to put down somewhere in the range of 450-480WHP and 420-460RWTQ. Or am i just going to need to go to a straight drag radial again.

Also, planning on 1 lapping even this year at Road America, so i'm going to need a pair atleast of said street tires,even if i get another DR.
