No worries brotha, I'll figure somethin out soon enough haha. Managed to take some pictures when I had to pull over today. I was driving home, truthfully mashin out tryin to beat the traffic when I got near my house I noticed I was over red and I shit bricks. There was no steam and I could hear the fans going so I pulled over in the shade, popped the hood and ran the fans a bit before I turned it off to cool down. Upon inspection there was a light coat of antifreeze under the passenger floormat so I believe my heater core is bad.

When I filled up the radiator it was bubbling and spewing antifreeze/water I just poured in. No antifreeze on the dipstick luckily so my HG didn't go out. I don't think anyways haha. I cruised home after a bit more waiting and parked the 240 until I can get a new heater core. Heres pics:

18x9.5 +12, 235/40/18 Falken Azenis tires front and rears. slight roll on front fenders, and shaved lip in the rear (discovered theres some bondo in my right quarter panel sadly, even though you can't tell in my opinion. It's just disappointing to find out my "virgin" is a slut ): ) More excuse for overfenders though, I suppose. Here's those pics though:

These 17 inch sentra wheels have a +47 offset, But I'm unsure of width.

Has anyone here ran those dimensions on an s13 with no spacers required?? Seems like way too high of an offset.

[pancakes]

yes they fit. google has one or two threads on this

Noob question

I see someone selling te37 ta but in 19. Have 18 on mine now

No idea on the back spacing and or if their are spacers

The 18 I have either way looks good but I would like to get these
Te37 ta if I can fit them with no issues

Its not flared and its a stock oem fender

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Pm if needed

Thanks for reading

Lol don't get 19's bro it's gonna look awkward. If you're gonna spend money te37's why not get ones that actually fit nicely. Stock aero looks nice with 17's, I'm sure a shitload of people have made threads about perfect fitment te's so get your dimensions from them and order it. And honestly, we can't tell you if a rim will fit only knowing it's size, and you didn't even say what kind of car this would be going on.

[billyblaze]

Sorry I forgot to put it

98 kouki

I have 18 te37 ordered

I have another one but its a zenki 96

It also has 18 on it
17 I thou about it I drive that one more
And would like a taller sidewall tire
Off hand their 40 but I think their 235 in the
Front and 255 I.the back

The feed back I been getting is dont do tbe 19s
Which I was pretty sure wasnt doable in the
First place

Again thanks

Im still looking around im.never in a hurry lol

[youngprettyvato]

I'm picking up some riverside mae 18x10 +0 18x11.5 -15, how big of a spacer will I need to clear the 300zx brakes? Thanks in advance

[MKuma64]

Will These fit without rubbing? 1995 Nissan 240sx SE
XXR 527s 17x8.25 5-114.3 [+25mm] Front
XXR 527s 17x9.75 5-114.3 [+25mm]Rear

Looking to get coiliovers, and Z32 calipers for my stock S14 SE, are the offsets crap? also, will it poke (I actually like a small amount of poke).

[89sileighty]

I have an s13 coupe and plan on running ZG flares in the rear and 20mm or 40mm wide fenders in front.

Anyone know if the xxr 526 18x10.5 +20 (r) and 17x10 +20 (f) will run flush, or how big of spacers will be needed?

[Steve5405]

I have a 92 hatch with 5zigen fn01r-c 17x8 +35's what spacer do i need to make them close to flush. i only have rs*r lowering springs at the moment to the wheel wells are right at the tire in the rear and a half inch gap in the front. thanks in advance.

[GRIZZLY505]

im planning on running 16x10 diamond wheels im not sure what offset to do planning on running 225s all the way around any suggestions on what offset or does anybody else running something similar to this?

[motoman159]

I've done research but can't find alot of concrete answers so here we go. People running 50 mm rears overs, please tell me your wheel specs with pics, I'm looking for very little camber. Figured iI'd post here before I made a thrrad.

Mostly depends on the faces like if there low disk or mid disk, but I'm runing a +15 mill spacer to clear my z brakes on low disk faces so hope that helps and rear shouldnt need a spacer since caliper bearly protudes past the rotor mounting deck* unless the faces are crazy flat outback wich I doubt* GL

[bigyellowevo]

50mm overs or aftermarket camber arms? I have stock camber arms at the moment. Will these fit with aftermarket arms or should I just man up and get 50mm overs?

[jameswouldgo]

meow meow meow meow

[S14_ZX10R]

Iv got some ssr sp3 18x10 -1 and 18x11 -7 AND I NEED TIRES im running 25mm over fenders in the front and 30mm in the back looking for some sticky tires in the back so not looking for a huge stretch i was gone run 275 but not sure maybe someone here has similar sizing and can help me out and also where to find the good deals on good tires thank you for any help

First off 50mm is about an inch and a half...your rim looks to be sticking out 1"...
so 25/30mm would do...but==>>
Dont go wide fenders untill you really have to, Camber arms can be found for $100 new or less for used.
once you go wide fenders you loose the clean look, and then deal with many other problems and cost a lot more money...cutting stock fender...theres no going back after that+cheap wavey looking fender+body work+paint..etc...(plus wide fenders with no body kit looks weird)

camber plus a roll/pull will fit with stretched tires of course. if it ends up looking like too much camber for you you can always go wide after.

find someone who knows how to do really good agressive but clean pulls... S14's with a nice pulled fender and wide wheels look super clean.
something like this:

I really appreciate your response. I bought the car with 30mm overfenders molded in, so the pictures include a 30mm over with stock camber arms. I'm going to try camber arms and see what happens from there. Thanks.

275 is a pretty beefy tire if you're trying to fit all under the car. Id go as low as 225 for the rears and possibly 215(you risk debeading on 10s) otherwise 225 safely up front, would be a good stretch and fit. i wouldn't go bigger than 245's though... One question though why the beefy tires?

[S14_ZX10R]

500hp so I would like them to grip when I need them to

anyone ever put a 235/40 on a 17x10 or 18x10 on the front of an s14?

Ah if they are molded then makes it impossible to pinch. then to make them wider.
You can slo shave the inside of the bottom of the fender making it thin, allowing for better fitment.

[S14_ZX10R]

So 225/40/18 in the front and 245/40/18 in the back

are you questioning whether it will fit under stock fender? or its possible to stretch?
if the rim itself fits under the fender you're going to need a better stretch.. 225/40 on 17 i ran once and it was rub city, id bump down to a 215/40/17 or a 215/35/18. The tire size you are asking about will definitely fit though, i can't say there wont be rubbing though.

depending how you are setup, if the car is going for a flush look then its not going to be fun or possible, depends on how your wheel fits though so you know best and i can't say 100%. 245 sounds better... and will be more suitable than said earlier tire size. do you have pictures of your ride height?

was mainly saying if I could make it fit under stock fenders just rolled no pull I know some camber will need to be in check, really not trying to do that much of stretch with a 215/40 and a 225/40 is kinda hard to find for 17in wheels

Def would try out a tire size you can aquire more easily than the size i mentioned above. As many know some tires run smaller/bigger than others so if you can access a certain tire size easier than id switch between brands to see who runs them smaller. But to answer your questions they will fit

I know federals like to run very meaty on the outsides(perfect for wheels with camber).

Will I have issuses clearing z32 brakes with 18x9.5 +10 wheels on a stock metal s13 ? Should I worry about alot of poke as well on a square setup like this ?

Yes that is a lot of poke for an S13 and I believe they also have about 10mm less space than a S14 from what I've been told, don't quote me on that though. Personally I think it's too much for stock metal S14. Not to mention it's a lot of load for my KA to be dragging around 18s when I'm mashin out or sliding. Next time ima go 17x9" +15-22 depending on the wheels.

What are some good specs to run then ? Dont mind pulling and rolling fenders.
