Yeah, because a 285 tire on a stock bodied S13 is so common

The car you posted is no great feat...... S14 body for one, and 50mm overs for god sakes.

longfellow · 07-13-2010, 10:54 AM

This thread is getting clogged with stupid.

Broadfields car belongs here more than most.

Also his tires are well with in manufactures specs for wheel size so there is no stretch. They just aren't as square as possible. Not that it matters.

285 on an 11 vs 315 on a 10

longfellow · 07-13-2010, 02:21 PM

Unless its a drag slick, a 315 on a 10" wheel is counter productive.

Pull your head out of your ass.

I don't understand this comment. the 315 on a 10 on a 50mm over'd S14 is wildly less impressive.

I guess I'm confused at what your point is!?! These are two completely different cars. The S14 can fit wider to begin with. Then add the fact that it has 50mm overs...... it better damn well have 315's on it. Only difference is I would have a 12" wide wheel on it.

Thank you. This is what I was going to say.

I think this thread needs it's own mod already. It does not need to go the way of the fitment thread.

Back when I bought those rims, if I had the money I would have done a 12" too. I really want to see if I can stuff some 345s back there just for the hell of it.

I don't know why I said I had a 45 sidewall. I have 40. Must have been high.

Nothing special.
Your car is incredible, one of the best i've seen around here, and I have the utmost respect for folks running a 285 on an S13 chassis. I'm just not a fan of rubber band tires. To each his own I guess.

Holy cow those are some majorly tall tires!

That's still too tall for an S13

I will post better pics once I buff out the paint and adjust the camber.

Over fenders for the win.

240KA · 07-28-2010, 11:07 AM

dammit thats exactly what size tire i wanna run, but without overs. what offset is that? what size fenders?

turboholic · 07-28-2010, 11:26 AM

19x10 +20. Ebay supposedly 50mm overs. I had to flex them out alot to get the tires to clear.

plusONETEN · 07-28-2010, 02:41 PM

265/40R17 Direzza Star Spec on 17x9.5 RPF1 +38mm offset.

Stock suspension and bodywork.

I figure it would be helpful if i posted this now, since its stock. The fender will need to be rolled, and maybe a slight pull. (Im going to lower it, duh.)

At full droop, there was clearance issues with the stock shocks. A small spacer on the rear spindle easily takes care of this. With coils of smaller O.D., this may not be an issue at all. Also, it only rubs when the suspension droops. Lowering the car and using stiffer/shorter springs with less droop will probably make this a non issue.

If not, all it takes is a few washers.

radius of 12.3in stock vs. 12.7in with these tires... raised by car up by .4 inches.

EDIT: grr... pic didnt work. I will fix this soon.

Pics:

also note that i have that little piece of stock rubber trim on the fender still. I am going to take it off, but thats why the shot that looks from the door to the back looks funny

240KA · 08-02-2010, 08:02 PM

am i correct in assuming that a 10.5 +30 wheel at 0 to -.5* camber will fit under stock s14 metal with a roll? i wanna throw a 295 or 305 on there.

how bout a 10.5 +35? might hit coilovers? i have stance coils.

Doing the math, a 10.5 +35 will have 181mm of backspace and using a 305 width would only make that worse in relation to contacting your coil body. I know from experience using an 11.5 +24 Work Equip with 275 was at 183mm backspace and even with minimal camber (~-.5 deg) I was making contact with the coilover so I sold the wheels and went with a 10.5 +27 and about 2.5 to 3 deg I still haven't made contact.

I'd play it safe and if you want a 305, stick with 10.5 +30. You will have to do fender work though i.e. a roll and fairly healthy pull.

I had a set of those 315s on my 240sx... they didn't hook worth a shit. Then again, Nitto 315 DRs don't hook worth a shit on my car either.

not that your post wasn't informative, but can you add onto that a little more? now that we know nitto 315 DRs are worthless, can you tell us what you switched them with?

how much power were you making? wheel width and offset?

i know its difficult for you to understand, but we come here to see pictures/examples/past experiences of others who have run wide tires on their cars, specifically nissan 240sx!!!! go figure, right? but i'm glad you felt the need to come on here and wave your big 315 p3n1s around for us to envy.
in conclusion, no one here really cares!! unless of course they own a foxbody too, but why wouldnt they go to a foxbody forum? all this thinking is hurting my head, is it hurting yours too?

Exactly. No one cares about your mustang. Go away.

It's a 4x4 anyway.

*kingkilburn* · 08-03-2010, 12:34 PM

I like it personally.

It's nice to see good fitment on different chassis even if it is easier on that chassis.

WISH ONE · 08-03-2010, 01:21 PM

Lol @ the 4x4!!

Really? what kind of power are you making?

i run a BFG 225/55/15 Drag radial on a 410whp/360 tq 2JZ 240sx and the car hooks pretty damn well. can't imagine having tire spin on a tire THAT MUCH bigger.
