Wheel Fitment Question Thread

[Te37]

You will need a stupid amount of camber, I have a hard time fitting a 255/35 on my 18x10.5+15 s14 with roll and slight pull

[Pblesh85]

I am wondering if I am going to rub at full lock(modded knuckles) on my 14

Wheel Size & Offset: 18x9.5 +14 18x11.5 +19
Tire Size: (Front) 225/40/18 (Rear) 265/35/18

And what is needed on the rear as far as a pull ?

This is not my track setup and I do not plan on sliding much with these wheels. But I can not risk damaging my car or wheels so id like to know if im going to run into any issues.

[Eazy_tom]

how much camber are you running te37?
Thank you for the input btw.

[Te37]

I'm running -1.5 in the rear, and that's as low as my tein coils go

I'm guessing I'll need a pull.

18x10.5 +10 with 235/40-18s. Running about 2 1/2 degree of camber. You'd need more camber and more pull if you want to fit wider tires.

18x11 +28 on 265/35-18s. Your setup would stick out another 15mm pass these. Fenders pulled as much as I can before it starts getting all wavy. I pulled it some more a year later after this shot but the fender started to wave. Ended up smoothing it up with some bondo.

[SLYDEWAYS 96]

Anyone know if a 18x8.5 +35 up front will clear a 300zx bbk and look decent with 245/40r tires on a s14 chassis? And how would a 18x9.5 +35 with 285/40r look in the rear? Don't wanna run more than -2 camber and fenders front and rear are rolled already. Rims I'm deciding to go with are Enkei Wheels - Tuning Series - Raijin

[Eazy_tom]

Thank you guys, good stuff.

I'd suggest you read thru this thread a couple pages back, should be more than enough to answer ALL your questions...

[TunanS14]

This should be called the "All wheel fitment questions answered by fliprayzin240sx thread" Haha!

Not 100% sure but to me, running undersized wheels is like raising the car up. All you're doing is giving yourself more gap/space between the tires and fenders. I think you'd have a better clearance if you can trim down your spacers to the min you need to clear the brakes. You probably just need about 12-13mm from my personal experience with most rims I've ran. And for ever 3mm you get back, is about 1* you can get back roughly.



I would bet smaller tires, those are enormous!!! Look up tire calculators and use 205/55-16s for an overall diameter for reference you wanna shoot for the same diameter or maybe smaller. The larger 40 series 18" tires I'd run is 235/40-18s. Even those are larger than usual.

Also, why do you want to run such wide tires? Wider tires mean, more fender work you'd need to clear them.

My current setup is 18x10 +7 225/40-18 and 18x10.5 +10 235/40-18



If you insist on running 245-265 width tires, you'd need to kick it down to 35 series tires and massage the fenders some more or run more camber.

i have seen this car so many time during my lunch break and i lookss sickk

[Fracture]

I'm thinking of running these "http://wedssport.jp/products/tc105n.html"] in 17X9(F) and 18X9.5(R) but I'm not sure what inset to buy that would fit with the stock metal of an S13 hatch. Any suggestions?

No specific information, no specific answer.

Don't know which offset you want. For the fronts +10 works. Needs a little fender work but it can work fine. For the rears, +10 for the rears will require a lot of camber if you don't want to molest your fenders. So my suggestion would be don't?

Roll pull, depends on your alignment.

Tires, I prefer stretch but if you want to go with meaty tires, your alignment and fenders will need some raping to get them to fit.

Not sure of my wheel offset but took measurements can someone just tell me if this is correct please.

Wheel width (from inside the Lips)
Meaures 9.5inches = 240mm Therefore Centerline of wheel = 120mm

Backspace, *( from the mounting face to the inner lip at the back)
measures 135mm

so 135 - 120 = 15

so the wheels are 18 x 9.5 +15 ? they do fill the arches really well on a s15.
dose this sound right? i was told buying them that they are 18x9.5+35

Pics for ref




Thankyou

18x9 +10 215/40 all around on stock metal
f/r need to be rolled unless you run an insane amount of camber.
f: 3.0°
r: 3.5°

my bad the link didn't show up
"http://wedssport.jp/products/tc105n.html"

I meant these ^ in 17X9(F) and 18X9.5(R)
I'm not sure how to workout inset as apposed to offset. I know that inset is measured as positive offset from wheel center to stem side but I wanted to get a second opinion just to give myself an idea of what would work.

Measurement's good but I dont thik they're 9.5j +15. They'd stick out further than that on S15s if that is spot on spec wise. Dont think they'd be +35 either, cuz even 9j +35, the fronts will be rubbing on the suspension. Thats unless the fronts are spaced out. They're probably more 9j +20-25 ish, maybe even +18.

17x9 +10 18x9.5 +10 will work with stock metal but I am not 100% sure on what exactly you are trying to accomplish. Are you going for a wheel offset to fit fat tire or going for a good fitment?

[Fracture]

215/40 and 225/45. tire sizing i can figure out on a fitment calculator i just wanted to know wheel insets that would work on s13's

[I'm Redline]

After several days and intermittent hours of going through this entire thread, I have come to the conclusion that the guy who posts here, or on NICO who had a zenki/kouki that he tracked was onto something that looked like it worked

17x9.5 +18's with 245-45-17

The photos from the car that was tracked that had this tire/wheel combo had the wheel/tire just barely tucked. It looked good. Now if I can remember where I saw it and get the SUSPENSION set up to clear all that... The car looks like it has the basic spring/shock combo on it with these wheels and tires. I figure whatever wheels with Advan S.4's to clear the edges since they have the highest amount of curve on the sidewall

Am I missing something?

[drftx]

i got a question if anyone can answer

i recently sold my old wheels and kept my tires they are 235/40/18 feddy 595's old wheels were work kiwami 18x10.5+23

new wheels are work equip 18x11-9 was wondering if the 235/40 will be too much on a 11? if anyone has pics of a 235/40 on a 18x11 lemme see thxx!

Who in their right mind would ever trade your Kiwami's for Equips? Smh.

Anyway, since they're Federals they run like 245's. 245/40 on a 11"? Doable. Safe? No. If I were you, I'd just run 255/35.

No, should clear for the most part. 245/40-17s are the same diameter as 225/40-18s.

Its doable, but I've ran 265/35s and those are stretched on 11j. Stretched like me running 225/40s on 10js.

[joeli102]

I have 17X9.5 +12 with 245/45/17 on my S13 hatchback and I was wonder if it is possible to fit them with stock metal. Should I roll the fenders and then camber or camber and then roll the fenders. I have adjustable coilovers and RUCA

[fliprayzin240sx]

Its doable but you'd have to run more camber in the back. I fucking hate pulling the rear hatch fenders due to the denting effect. If you pull the rear fenders too much, the are directly on top of the arch have a tendency to buckle in and dent.

[MeGusta.jpeg]

For the front, what size spacer would i need to clear stance coilovers
225/40 on a 17x9.75 XXR wheel

No. Go search.

XXR spacer fitment bullshit is easy to find.

Plus it doesnt do just jack and shit if we dont know the offset.

[joeli102]

So just camber as much as possible in order to pull as least as possible... Does anyone have photos of a set up like this?

[MrSanchez925]

Question, I just picked up a pair of 17x8.25 +25 F & R for my s13. And am planning to lower the car a significant amount, (tucking tire) and possibly throw in a 15mm spacer in the rear and a10mm up front.

I am debating weather to run a 215/45/17 or a 205/40/17. What are your suggestions?
