was looking for a simple clean look, no cracks, or leaving shit unbolted. but i guess its give and take. thanks.

I'm having problems with my enkei rpf1s.. it's either the wheel or my tires that are a bitch to seat. i was having a hard time on 9.5s, same size 235/40 tires.
EEEEEEAK. i just bought some brake cleaner.. i'll go try fire method a couple more times.

235 on a 9.5 should be cake. It was super easy on my 9.5's and it had 0 stretch.

Fire is so dangerous why dont you guys just use a Cheata or a compressed air tank and shoot it fron the top of the bead. Bam it will work no problem.

well, a 17x9 - 26mm offset came damn close to kissing my megan racing coilovers, i would never be able to run that size up front on an s14 with megans, however, other coilovers possibly could. clear.

honestly a stagger is so much easier on a 240 lol.

b18c1ek · 02-14-2009, 09:34 PM

I've found relatively low offset wheels for my car, and would need to run a very narrow stretched tire in order to clear the fenders... does anyone know what tire runs the narrowest? I've heard Falken ZE-512, ST-115, Fuzion ZRi, and Nankang NSII are among the most narrow selections... does anyone have first hand experience with anything else?

I think this thread should be referenced whenever someone mentions "form before function"

joefresh · 02-14-2009, 09:50 PM

i do know that st115 runs narrow for a fact. but goodluck getting those.
fk452 are a little wider than st115.
st615 do not run narrow at all.
the other tires you listed are total junk goodluck man.

I doubt it will fit, without spacers.. I run 17x10 +18 and my wheel is pretty close to my coilover.

Z33dori · 02-14-2009, 10:06 PM

yea i fig'd i would need a 10mm spacer...

just not sure if it will fit under a stock fender w/o a big ass pull.

***dorkidori_s13*** · 02-15-2009, 12:09 AM

If it doesnt rub, it doesnt fit right!!!!

All depends on what coilovers. On my old Kouki, I was running 17x10 +12 FN01s on MR coilovers. Fuckers wouldnt clear for shit. I had to stuff 8mm spacers for them to clear, effectively making the fronts down to 10J +4. \

On my current S14, I got a set of Topline Aragosta Coilovers, currently got a set of 17x10 +18 RPF1, same shit, hitting the coilover, had to slide some 5mm spacers, even tho looking at it, 3mm would have been enough clearance.

FN01s:

RPF1s:

Planning on running a set of 18x10 +18 Work Equips when I get back to Okinawa in about 3 weeks...planning on running 235/40 up front and keeping the 265/35 rears (will probably change that down later to 245/40s) that came with the wheels, will post that up when I get back.

Koopa Troopa · 02-15-2009, 02:49 AM

Strange Ray, I had to run 8mm spacers to clear my Topline Aragosta dampers with those exact wheels on your car.

*fliprayzin240sx* · 02-15-2009, 02:52 AM

No clue koops, im running 5mms and I got about 2mm of space. I can probably take one more collar, drop the car a bit more and ride the lip between the springs and I wont need the spacers.

Z33dori · 02-15-2009, 10:07 AM

well since u s14 guys seem to have trouble with that.. i think i'll just go back to findt 17x9 set up for the front then..

thanks

Z33dori · 02-15-2009, 11:15 AM

god some one needs to teach this guy how to fit wheels and tires

does it hit the tire or the wheel itself?

But he is close, lower it and a little camber.

It amazes me that people spend so much money and never come to a thread like this or do a little research...

and on the other hand, some don't have the aesthetic, they don't see anything wrong.

Nankang NSIIs are actually not that narrow. They're pretty wide.

Usually the Falken FK452s are pretty narrow, can't go wrong there. The ST115 is pretty narrow, but depends on the size. ZE512s are about normal size I think. No idea on the Fuzions since I've never really looked them up.

That's not entirely true.

Depending on the size of the tire, say 235/40/17, the FK452 is narrower than the ST115.

There are no ST615s, only RT615.

murda-c · 02-15-2009, 02:33 PM

it'd be nice if it had higher offsets

Jlee · 02-15-2009, 02:41 PM

18x9 -11 with 3.5mm slip on effective -14.5 and i think -3* camber
18x10 -10 and -2.5 camber and 50mm overfenders

Yeah, that's what sucks about having more rim than tire.

kornaz · 02-15-2009, 08:41 PM

I had 18X10+24 and it rubbed (on the wheel inside lip) like crazy on Megan Track coils. Wouldn't even move. Used 8mm spacer, and still rubbed when turning hard.

nah i know what he means. The wheels stick out even with the over fenders. However, i think if he lowered it to a respectable height and ran about -2 degrees of camber he'd be fine.
