Maximum TIRE(Rubber) fitment thread

[Black R]

I have 50mm rear overs ready to go on my s13, so how wide of a tire can I go with?

Anybody running 315's in the rear of an s13?

I want to run -1.5deg rear camber.

I've heard of people making the overs wider somehow by pinching them?

305's should not be an issue and you would even be able to tuck them a little if you wanted. You will obviously need to get the width and offset of the wheels spot on though. You may even be able to squeeze some 315's under there.... which is what I would do if I had 50mm overs.

I really want to be able to run the same size front and rear for lapping days...

I guess I should find out how wide people are able to go up front on an s13.

How sick would 315's all around be?

315/30/18 is less than 4% difference in size from oem 195/60/15.

How about 335/35/17? . Super tall sidewall yo.

Looks like 17x9 to 17x11 or 17x12 vs 18x11 or 18x12...

* the sumitomo htr-z is available in 315/35/17 at $158 (fits 11"-12" wheel).
Or htrzii in 275/40/17 at $111. (fits 9" to 11" wheel)
And the kumho ecsta spt is available in 285/40/17 at $160. (fits a 9.5"-11" wheel)
at tirerack.

So for guys on a budget, some cheap 17x9 / 17x9.5 in low offset and the above htrzii or ecsta spt might be the way to go!
