Also it is on stock fenders on an 89 s13 coupe and same size all around unless different tire size would work better on front or back. Also I don't want skinny tires I like them wide

225-40-17 all around will fit both S13/S14 on a 17x9+15 without spacers. You may want to take out a little camber though

Well right now only the back is cambered to where you can tell and the front you can't really tell. Would that still affect it?

This fitment has a little stretch and as I said fits well. This is the exact fitment on my friend's S13's, and his S14 using 'battles' and falken Ziex tires. All he has ever done is to readjust the oe camber in the back, and use camber plates in front if he wanted to drop lower, but the amount of drop has always been no lower than the wheelhouse and top of the tire being dead even

Alright cool! Thanks

how hard is it to fit 18x9.5 w/ 0 offset on stock s13 front fenders running 215/35 for a flush fitment? how much camber would be needed?

If fitment is same as hatch, fits well enough, maybe only minor adjustment at the top since the 215 on a 9.5 has tons of stretch. It pokes a bit too

all good. found.

Ive tried doing the research but cant seem to get a clear answer hoping someone can help.
Iam going to be ordering the 5 lug swap kit with extended studs.
my question is will work emotion xd 9 front are 17x8.5 with + 42 and the rear are 17x9.5 + 38 offset will they fit? what size of spacer am i going to need?

[StuckeyOG]

Sup guys. I have a zenki s14 on all stock rear and front fenders. I purchased a set of G8 wheels, 18x9.5" +12 offset. I got some 235/40/18 sized Falkens based on what I could find from research I thought this would be a well-fitting size. I will be rolling the fenders, possibly a slight pull and probably cutting and relocating the wiring harness.

Can anyone provide input on how much camber will I have to run with rolled fenders to fit 18x9.5" wheels on 235/40/18s on my stock fender S14? By this I mean no over fenders or flares they will be rolled/pulled
upon install of the fronts. The rears are on already but I'm at max ride height on my function and forms to fit them. There's minimal rub if I go moderately quick over bumps if I keep it in second it's fine.

Thanks guys, any and all help is appreciated!

Think of getting Cosmis xt206-r in a 18x9.5 +8. Can these fit on stock fenders on all 4 corners on an S13? What tire size do you recommend for them ? Pretty meaty, but not too much. Thanks

[NJs13_1993]

So I've been searching everywhere and I can't find what I need. I'm going 5 lug. Right now I'm only worried about the front. I'm running about 7 degrees and I'm planning to go 17x10 with a 20mm fender. Just trying to figure out what offset would be best. I feel like a 0 offset would be too sunk. Probably gonna run a 225/40

[1slowlance]

So, found a good deal on some is250 wheels. Just wondering if these would fit a 93 hatch, it's got a mild drop. I'm in the process of going 5 lug. I've been looking for a little while, and haven't really found too much information on such a higher offset. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Specs- Fronts-18x8 +45
Rears-18x8.5 +50

I don't know about s13 clearnaces so take that info and this info (1991 S13 7 spoke alloy wheels SE Model ones
15x6 with a 40mm offset)
and go here http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Wheel-Offset-Calculator then do some math. Check your clearances on your car.

[1slowlance]

I actually did that right after posting, and results were:
Front-30mm less and extend extra 20mm
Rear-42mm less and extend extra 22mm

Thanks for the quick reply. I believe they'll fit, I'm kinda new to the whole offset scene and still trying to learn the whole positive and negative ish. Thanks for the quick reply. I'm about to go take some measurements on the car now.

would an 18x10.5 +2 fit in the front wheel well of an s13? my fenders are rolled already im assuming they would need a little pull?

[KAs14slider]

Hey guys, I am about to order some 18" equips and have them re-lipped before they are shipped to me. What do you guys think I can get away with on an s14 with 30mm fronts and 50mm rears. I was thinking 18x9 (+0 or -5) in the front so I can still have good lock with my knuckles. And in the back I was thinking 18x10-6. I want to still run zero camber in the rear. Anyone have any insight? If I am spending money on a custom set I figured I might as well try to get perfect sizes.

It takes a lil bit of work to fit 10.5s in the front on a s13. I'd roll/slight pull and choose a tire size with a smaller wall. Extended lac's would come in handy as well or a pair of s14/15 lcas. Full lock is the hard part, inner wheel-well might need work as long with upgraded tension rods if deemed necessary. I have 18x10 +25 up front with full arms, s14 lcas, tein tie rods w/spacers, 30mm spacers, and 30mm conversion fenders that hang over and hug the tire. I need to get a pair of Voodoo tension rods though, and I still have wheel-well work to do big time

I am running the same effective offset on 18s with 225/40 in the rear and 215/40 up front. i probably have a quarter or a third of an inch before i tuck front and rear. my rear is rolled and nothing in the front. running -2.5 camber front and rear with no rubbing in the rear whatsoever but do have all pbm arms so my alignment is in spec. my front rubs at half to full lock and anytime i hit a dip on the freeway, but your pbms are a lot stiffer than my gc/konis. hope that helps. pics and alignment specs of your ride?

Alright thanks man that does help a bit. I fit the fronts without adjusting height. I have a small wheel gap probably an inch. but with one wheel on top of a driveway ramp and the other three on the floor after the rears were shaved and the fronts were rolled everything was pretty flush (about 2 cards would be a tight fit one was close to the fender). I don't have PBMs though I have SPL rear arm set with eccentric lockout and front tension rods. And also SPL outer rod ends with g35 inner Tein tie rods I need to install tonight.

My dad's friend with a bodyshop will be aligning my car as well after that so until then alignment is unknown. I'll get some pics for you guys when I install em tonight though, thanks man.

On a side note, I saw your Zenki frontend partout I was going to ask if your turn signals are still intact?

[pancakes]

SPLs are awesome. Only reason for going pbm was I got them stupid cheap. I think once you get the alignment it should really help. At least 2 degrees of chamber should be gold. The turn signals are nothing you'd want considering you have SPL arms haha one has a crack and one has a chip in the socket. If you actually want them I'd give you them for free and you pay shipping

All good man I hear PBM arms and products in general are great too!
The guy who rolled my fenders said I was running about 2 to 3 degrees in his opinion I guess we'll see haha. I was actually looking for the passenger turn signal plug with a few inches of wire still attached. The guy who had my car before me left a bunch of stuff broken sadly, and i made it my job to replace and repair everything. It's going nicely so far I like to think. But let me know man I'd definitely appreciate the help

Interesting.. Curious to see pics as that is a decent amount of camber for that setup. Just looked and the blinkers dont have the bulbs and plugs, it's the side markers that do, sorry man.

[Roscoe.]

How much roll and pull would be required for an 18x10 +7 on the front of an S14? It's a 4" lip if that helps.

[najed.saker]

Hi I got free Advan RT wheels from my cousin and they're 18 8.5 +38, will they fit on stock s13 FB suspension? I haven't tried since I need tires, thinking 245/40, and I need to buy 5 lug conversion.
