Wheel Fitment Question Thread

All up to you. Personally, I cant stand my fronts having more poke than the rear.

My car has the same issue, except my passenger side is the one that pokes - not the driver side. My driver side wheel is flush and doesn't rub, but the passenger side sticks out 11mm more and rubs on hard bumps. I have searched and searched to find a solution, but to no avail. If you find a solution please let me know - I'll do the same for you if I find a solution. My car has K-Sport coilovers and all adjustable arms with nearly no negative camber in the rear.

I have read some people use spacers on one side to even them out, but I don't like the sound of that. Plus I prefer the flush look over the poke, so I'd have to get higher offsets and then use spacers to correct the side with less poke.

I'm thinking about buying the Hubcentric front wheel adapter off eBay. With extended studs. 10mm. Just hope it'll work

^^^You guys got an alignment done? If yes, have you double checked to make sure you dont have anything bent?

[Jamie.y22]

Well I think I found my problem today. At the top of my coilover is a metal ring. It's off the spring and pretty much crunched up. I need to center it so what can I do lol

I didn't have the alignment done, the PO did - but I looked at the sheet and it's all good. I took a good look at the car underneath and everything is straight and it's got a clean Carfax (which really doesn't mean much). Reading these forums it just seems common for one wheel to stick out more than the other, but those ~11mm really bug me.

But the kicker for you is that its common on older S13 chassis but not on S14s. Most of the time, when its shifted that far out, something is messed up. It could be mismatched lower control arms (one is a shorter S13 replacement), subframe is shifted or the frame is bent.

I actually have the same problem with my rear. The driver side sticks out about ~10mm more than the passenger. I have adjustable RLCA, Toe rods, and Traction rods, and my frame is also straight. But.. flip could be right about a shifted subframe or bent frame but I can't seem to find the reason why there's this difference on my s13. It also bugs me

Will 19x10 +30
19x11 +15 fit?

Not the fronts without spacers and the rears will need alot of fender pulling/camber or overfenders.

[vJilly]

Looking to buy 17x9 +25 wheels all the way around for my s13. i have a couple of questions.. will i need to run any camber on the front and rear for them to fit? will i need spacers to clear the coilover? and how flush will it sit? any help would be wonderful!

[fliprayzin240sx]

Would look pretty close to this: Stock R33 GTR wheels 17x9 +30.



Shouldn't need to run spacers but that all depends on what coilovers you have, how low and how big the springs/perches are. I'd roll the fenders but that should be it.

[juhd]

with rolled and pulled fenders, would an 18x9 +1 front and 18x10 -5 fit on an s13 with stock brakes?

Do-able but will need alot of work and hold your breath you dont dent the rear quarter panel/fender trying to pull it too much.

[da_crew10]

How hard would it be to fit a 18x9 0 offset up front on an s14?
I'll be running a 215/35 or 205/40 haven't decided yet.

Any help would be appreciated .

Not hard at all...just roll the fenders. Also, me thinks those tires are too small.

[da_crew10]

A 215 on a x9 is a perfect fit, a 205 is pushing it a little. But I guess if you're one of those guys that prefers meatiness then yeah they are too small lol .

No, I'm one of those guys that like to shoot for the same overall diameter as stock. Those sizings are undersized even for S13s by comparison and S14s run bigger sizing. 215/40-18 is as small I'd like to run, if I have to, but 225/40-18s are what I've always run on my fronts since 2002.

[InsTanCeZ]

If your car's low and/or you have drift knuckles then 215/35-18 or 215/40-17 is GOOD for the front to avoid rubbing 24/7 unless you do front tubs. Rears should be stock diameter though. 18x9+0 with 215/35-18 should be perfect with 3 or more degrees of camber in the front.

Will a 18x9.5 +1, 18x10.5 -7, fit on an s14a?

[fliprayzin240sx]

Its doable but it's a lot of work. Pull, stretch and camber.

[xHeavySS]

how would 18x10+22 be all the way around on a s14?

[InsTanCeZ]

Wouldn't fit in the front. It would probably hit the coilover. Perfect for the rear though. I would go with 18x9 in the front. Really, it's not worth it to go bigger than 18x9.5 in the front, and I think I prefer 17s in the front. 17x9 F and 18x10 R is perfect imo.

I know,now i have 5° camber,pull fenders and stretch tyre.Actually setup:
F: 8,5j et -15 with 205/35/18
R: 10j et +5 with 225/35/18.


Many more work ?

[new2sr20]

18x9 +20 in the front- factory camber settings. 225/35/18
18x10 +20 in the rear - factory camber settings. 245/40/18..about to be 275/35/18.

Fronts will actually go in 3mm but the rears will stick out almost a full inch compared to your current setup.

Q: Will XXR 527 or 530 spokes on a 17x8.25 +25 (or 17x9.75 +25) fit on an Stock body s13 w/ BBK and TEIN MonoFlex? would like to run 245 or 255 square R888 for track setup. four lug. front camber -3.25 rear -1.75

currently on 17x7.5 +43 AVS T7 with a 15mm Spacer to clear the calipers (net: +28).

caliper clearance:


thanks for your help! i couldnt find any threads with XXR 527/530 spoke curvature images.

[xHeavySS]

since the 18x10+22 all around is a no go, how about
18x9.5-1
18x11 -7

car is a s14 kouki

I need some input with fitment/ wide body on my s13. I am looking for the stretch poke fitment. Below are my specs as of now. I am looking for another set of tires for more of a stretch with keeping it safe as a DD. Car is going in for paint so want to have the fitment perfect for when the kit is installed. Still need to cut the rear fenders above the body line, if anyone can do a quick line of how high I can cut side to side and up that would be great!



Front

Fender: 30mm

Rim: 18x11

Et: -1 with 10mm spacer ( final et -11 need spacers to clear 300zx brakes)

Tire: 245/35

Camber: -4 ( can't go more unless I still the coil for camber)



Rear

Fender: 50mm

Rim:18x12.5

Et: -18 ( with 4mm spacers final -22)

Tire: 285/30

Camber: -1.5 ( can't go more)





Thank you for your help!

I hope your front fenders are tubbed with that size up front. As far as where to cut on the rear quarter panel, it's just above the body line in an arch like the original fender. There's videos of it all over youtube. Its kinda hard to explain in text.
