Wheel Fitment Question Thread

[alexanderig]

my fronts are no where near maxed out. im going to go lower and increase camber in the back soon. today i just rolled the rears with a small pull, and in the front i just bent the tabs in the front. more low coming soon and more camber in the rear. ill post pics when its all done

[CleanAndLegit]

too much poke is ugly -____-

[alexanderig]

thats why this is a question thread and not a fitment thread. its a work in progress

[JDMStanced]

hey guys
i picked up 19x9 and 19x10.5
Are the tires sizes 225/40 and 245/40 considered stretched for these rims? i have a 350z and looking to have the rims sticking out of the fender. +1 offset with spacers.
Lowered enough that the sidewall touches the fenders

[EhrikETFG]

In order to tuck rim in the future, what company arms should I buy? Are some more partial for crazy low compared to others? thanks

[San Diego Kouki]

Sup guys, I have a kouki S14 and I think I'm buying 18x9.5 +12 wheels. I've talked to a few people and from what I got, I'm going to have to run -2 camber and get my fenders rolled. Now the only concern I have is if I'm going to be rubbing on the inner wheel wells? I just want the wheels to be flush with the fenders, Have and inch and a half distance between my fenders and wheels and not have to run negative camber, it's my daily.

You should run 35 series side walls with 19s...and yes they'll be stretched. Outside of rolling your fenders and lowering the car you should be good with just bolting those to your Z.

SPL, Fortune Auto, or Parts Shop Max. They all use quality products and have a nice range of adjustment, but SPL is a nicer product overall then PSM or FA.

What sized tires were you going to run? You will need to beat out your inner fender wells up front, that's just what you have to do if you run wide wheels and slam your car. You can run a 225/40 or 215/40 up front to keep the hammering to a minimum, but unless you just painted your engine bay you aren't hurting anything if you go to town with a sledge hammer on the front back and top of your wheel well. I recommend removing the fenders if you aren't very accurate at hammering.

i used this website to calculate the stretch
Online Wheel & Tyre Fitment calculator. Offset and Tyre Stretch
going from 245 to 215 reduces the diamter around .8"..-_- (which mean .8" drop) is this right?
if it's true, i gotta go 40 profile

[San Diego Kouki]

Cool thanks, 95 KA-Turbo. Do you know if negative camber is a must still? Im not trying to be slammed down I want that Two finger gap between the tire and the fender

Oh, if you want a gap like that I would recommend getting a less aggressive wheel and running square tires. Get some 18X9 +20 or something like that and run 255/35s. Negative camber is apart of a factory alignment. If you're worried about tire wear you should be more concerned with toe settings. Having -2 camber or even -2.5 camber will not significantly wear your tires down. Just keep and eye on your tires and get them rotated to keep wear even.

I thought you wanted to run 225s and 245s?

225 doesn't give me the stretch i want.

[codyf44]

alright i decided on 18s for my s14. i want to get rota grids i believe but i need to know what offset i can run without spacers or fender modifications and clear the coilovers on front..go easy on me

[zooopreme]

You didn't specify width, but I believe grids in 18" only came in 9.5" +15.

With that said, 9.5 +15 will fit & they will clear the coilovers. However, the only way you can be low with that size is stretched tires with a slight roll, slight pull, and camber.

Matter of fact, here's a pic of Grids 18X9.5" +15 on a S14:

He's running 225/40 up front and 245/40 in the rear.
You could try running a monster stretch with 215/40 all around or a less extreme stretch with 225/40 all around if you want to get low.

[Sarom_ps13]

Q: On an s13 18x10 +25 with 225/40 up front and 235/40 in the rear. Would i need spacers? pretty sure i need a roll possibly a pull. inputs? Thanks

[frsh4]

Depends how low you are. If you slammed a small spacer will help like a 10 mm cuz 25mm with a stretch tire is gonna be a little sunk.

[Sarom_ps13]

Yeah i figured. i have coilovers and its not slammed yet. so would u say about 10-15mm spacer all around?

[frsh4]

Depends on what you are willing to do because 10mm is a effective +15mm which is a roll and small pull, 15mm spacer is about the same but bigger pull and a little bit more camber.

[95KA-Turbo]

A 10 +25 will not clear your coilovers up front. You'll need to space it out around 13mm to clear your coils...that will make it a bit of a bitch to fit up front. S13s don't like wheels over 9.5 up front without tubs or widebody. You can definitely do it, but it'll take some work.

A 10 +25 with a 235 requires a slight pull on S13s out back, so you will not need spacers....unless you're trying to run like neg 4-5 camber.

A 9 +15 with a 215 fits just about perfect with -3 camber and a roll. The 10 +25 fits 3mm further out then that...plus a 235 is wider.

[codyf44]

ya im not slammin it just low enough to not like monster truck lol. thanks for the info!

[Sarom_ps13]

Thanks alot guys. now i have a better aspect on what i need to do.

[codyf44]

wheel dude has 18x9.5+20 for the 5x114.3.. only +15 in the 18x10...or 18x8.5 +44...18x9.5 +38

[95KA-Turbo]

Do the 9.5 up front with a 5mm spacer and 10 out back with no spacer. 225/40s and 235/40s for a medium stretch, and 215/40s and 225/40s for a more aggressive stretch.

That should clear your front coils no problem and allow for decent clearance. Go for the larger tires if you don't want to slam it too much.

Do you have a zenki or kouki S14?

[s14rb26]

Hey guys ive searched but could find the answer I was looking for. I have a s14 I have ait 30mm d1 series front fenders and 30mm rear fender overlays I want to run 18x9.5 +12 offset rota p45r all around I was wondering if this wheel offset would be flush or if I have to run spacer I don't want to much Camber would prefer oem camber specs. Also what tire size would you guys recommend

[chuki.s13.coupe.]

I want my car to look like the cars in Dorroughs music video Ice Cream Paint job.

So my Question is what do i need to put 22"s, if possible 24"s, on my s13?

Rules:
1. SEARCH! If all fails come here. We are here to help.
2. No shit talking if your not gonna help someone out DONT POST!
3. Pics are not mandatory but will obviously help.
4. The main reason for this thread is to not clutter up the OG fitment thread and stop all the chit chatter.
5. An answer like yes or no obviously wont help so by posting a response your helping to make the question work. If it is seems like an impossible setup a simple no is ok. Make you response useful.

EX: Q: Will a 18x10 +18 fit on an s13?
A: Yes with some camber and stretched tire. Suggested setup 225/40 about 2.3* of camber maybe less with small pull.

SIMPLE! JUST SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE!

LOL, please tell me you're serious.


24s will NOT fit on a S13, they barely 'fit' on a 2000 Mustang, lol.

I'd say 21/20 stagger (bigger up front), lower it till the fender is at the wheel lip all around. Then ride in style. Mission accomplished.

with a slight tuck and stretched tires, it can happen

I can't tell how much of a pull the couple on the front page has. But it doesn't look like much. I've seen a hatch that was higher off the ground with the same wheel specs and he had to pull the fenders about ~25mm. The hatch is running a 10mm spacer but let's imagine the car without one, will that kind of pull be necessary?

Generally, do coupes have wider wheel wells? Or am I trippin out?

what the heck are the wheel and tire specs on that hatch?! its flawless. seems to be semi functional and still flush.
