but want the staggred set
but undecided for +22 or +15

THIS is the way S14's are suppose to look...AMAZING stance man!

What will I need to do to make a 18x9.5 +10 wheel fit on a S13 with stock fenders and z32 brakes ?

[TheRealSy90]

Buy an s13 with z32 brakes and some 18x9.5+10 wheels.

Already one step ahead of you.

[Edyz7s]

Getting xxr's 521 17x7 +38 offset, having trouble of what tire size i should get. I have CCS Autoselect coils, do plan to drop it more than it is, stock rims with 195/65/15 tires lmao.

Edit: Or xxr's 962(same specs but +40 offset), hard time picking shoes for my boo

i have an s13 with a slightly-aggressive pull in the rear. how will 18x10.5 +15 with 225/40's fit?

[theStig880]

^^^^ I have 18x10.5 +6 with 225/40 Fed 595s and Im running Origin 50mm overs. With that said, they should fit depending on how aggressive your pull is and how low you plan to be. Also how much camber you want to run. I have a decent amount of camber but Im also almost tucking.

[StuckeyOG]

I have a S14 with rolled stock front fenders and I have 2.5* of camber in the front currently. I probably need to add 0.5* - 1* to be able to lower my car where I'd like it. I'm currently running 18x9.5 +12 wheels with 235/40 tires square around it.

I wanted to experiment with some different tire sizes to change up the look/ride height and had a few questions.

I wanted to run some lower profile tires. Probably a 235/30 or 225/35 up front. I just want to know if these are too extreme of a tire setup to run if I have a semi-aggressive driving style? (drive casually but slide around random shit for a few minutes about once or twice a week).

I don't want to run too small of a tire and end up cracking/chipping/bending a wheel or blowing out a tire since I have some Square G8's that I just bought. Right now I'm leaning towards 225/35/18s in the front over the 235/30/18s but which of the two would be safer?

Also, is it going to feel weird running a 30/35 series in the front and a 40 series in the back? What if I went with a wider tire out back in the future(265/35/18) , would that be too big of a difference and be very noticeable in daily drive-ability? Thanks guys.

i currently have an s14 and would like to put origin +50mm rear over fenders. if anyone running these or even the rocket bunny overs could tell me what wheel size they run, id appreciate it. Im looking to see around what sizes you guys run, i want to run as close to 0 camber to maybe -1.5 and wondering if fitting 275 tire maybe bigger can be done with 0 camber and lower car.

Kei Miura runs 16x8 BBS LM's on his(THE Rocket Bunny S14) and as per SS staff writers has no rub and also gives zero fucks when he drives it

I have a questions for my hatch. I'm trying to 0 camber on the rear and trying to run the widest wheel possible. I already have a really good pull on the rear. But I'm really hoping for a 17x11 +15 has anyone done anything like this? I'm asking this because I'm going back and forth about going widebody knowing forsure I can run that kind of fitment. Soba socially 0 camber with widest wheel and lowest offset possible. It's been mentioned 9.5/10 +15 is the max with a good pull on stock body.

[Almosttt]

What would you guess the tire size on these are? Or what tire size would you suggest putting on 350z anniversaries? Not sure if I want mine to look like the pic or if I want to go with a more "meaty" look.

When I was looking for appropriate wheel sizes for my S14 I noticed a zilvia member whose stock fender fitment stuck out above all. I think it was GSRacer, all I remember was the "AntiStretch Nazi" in his sig lol. Dude fits ridiculous wheel/tire specs on his s14.

35 sidewall. 32 and 27 mm spacers. Get 35 sidewall only if your car is this low or close.

So I guess I'll go with like a 40 sidewall. Should I keep the oem 245/225 width? And is that spacer sizing just common knowledge with these wheels on S14's?

I'm a wheel noob

One of my friends runs 10mm/5mm spacers with z wheels. Another runs 15mm/10mm. The first tucks tire, the second pokes a bit, but his drop is only down to a finger gap over tire

Depends on the spacer. More stretch means more room to space them out. 32+27mm is just what the car in that pic had. Sorry i don't know the tire width, in closer pics you can tell they're stretched.

[GooGaSaurus]

This has probably been asked but I don't have the time to read through 100post to find it but Would 18/9.5 effect the turning radius on the s13 coupe? I'm trying to run 18/10.5 with a 20 offset in the rear I know I have to roll and pull fenders but I was worried mainly about the turning radius and how bad I'll be rubbing my wheel wells! Thanks!

[nismo_bill]

Hey everyone, I'm sure this has been addressed.. However, can i get 18x10.5 +4 on the back of an s13 hatch? I plan on rolling and pulling the fender, I just don't want to put overfenders on.

Thanks dudes!

[CrimsonRockett]

18x10.5 +4 is easy on the rear of an S13.

It all depends on the tire size and how much camber you're willing to run.

Thanks for the reply rocket. i'd like to run as little camber as possible. If needed i will get the +22 offset, which would be an effective +16 fitment. (I have a dual caliper setup the pushes my hub out 8mm)

[akatom47]

Hey i need help I'm a noob at fitment stuff but I'm getting some kranze bazreias relipped and I'm not sure what lip specs i should i pick id like something deep where i could get the front fenders pulled and rolled a little bit with a little camber but nothing crazy looking.

here are the lip options i have for the wheels.
8 +35, 8.5 +28, 9 +22, 9.5 +15, 10 +9, 10.5 +2, 11 -4, 11.5 -10, etc


something along these lines in the front

[hatchsil80]

I have a question,
I'm in the process of buying rear over fenders for my hatch. I'm running 18x10.5 +20 all around and planning on running a 1 inch spacer.
What size of rear over fender would you guys suggest running?

[Sumslapper]

Does anyone know if nismo lmgt1 can be reverse mounted? As in the face mounted from the inside of the barrel, instead of sitting on top of the lip.

[2muchboost]

^^^^^Tell me you are considering throwing some LMGT1's on!!!!!!!!!

I've seen some of the high offsets mounted this way. There is a flat lip around the face.

I've been looking into a 18x10 +20 set, but +20 is to high of an offset for me up front and won't clear my coilovers.

Yes, I noticed the flat lip around the face and that is what sparked my interest. It's similar to BBS LM and I have reverse mounted those no problem. Their just isn't much info on people building lmgt1 and I've never seen a reverse mounted set.

DAi-YAM! I am SO laughing so hard right now! Not because reverse mounted LMGT1's...THAT is a sick idea.
What I am laughing about is that I googled reverse mounting wheels, and found a Honda Forum. Five guys agreed that this was putting the tires on from the BACK of the wheel so you would not mess up the lip!
BWA HAHAHAHHAHAHA

So moving past that, I found next several examples of Work's, BBS's, and a few others...ME LIKEE!

[moebiius]

^^^^^^^And u didnt bother to throw up those pictures of the wheels u were talking about huh? Selfish bastard lol
