Will 17x8.5 +10 fit with an s13??

They'll fit no problem. I'm running 17x9 +12 all the way around with 235/45 tires and only had to roll the rear fenders a little bit. I can't guarantee that you won't need to roll the fenders in the rear, but I doubt it. Should fit no problem. Get 225 or 215 tires if you're worried about rolling the fenders.

I'm running fully adjustable arms and S14 subframe in my S13. I would like to run 18x10 or 10.5 in the rear or maybe even 11" wide. What would be a good offset? I don't want to run stretched tires. slight stretch is acceptable. I will be lowering the car, but not slammed and pull the fenders a tad bit. For the fronts I will be running 17x9.5 +12 or +15.

I have 2 19x9.5 +35mm stern st5 wheels that where giving to me and im ready to order the other 2, here's my options for the other 2 19X8.5 +20mm or get the same as the other 2 I already have? im not sure what its going to take to fit these on my s14 but I know im going to have to roll the fenders... what other things will need to be done?

[DirtySanchezS14]

So looking into new wheels, trying to not have to run spacers on my next set up.
Anyone know around what offset if need in 18x~8/8.5 or 18x~9/9.5 in the front?
On a stock body zenki
Currently running 18x9.5 +25 I believe
Thanks

Couple guys here are running 18x9.5+12 on kouki's with coils, with just a basic roll(11o'clock - 1o'clock)

I'm one of those, with just a basic roll it's very possible. If you want to run that up front though, you need a roll and pull.

OK, 17x9+15 w/coils is the baseline we will use. It fits perfectly without a roll and 225-45's

The 18x9.5's fit perfectly flush(right at the unrolled lip with a +15, +12 needs that roll
S14's do the +12 easier than S13's, but the Battles that are easily available all have +12 so you have to roll at least 11-1, ANY drop that goes lower than the tread line(0 gap) requires pull. If you drop to the tread/sidewall line, you need to pull

Square's wheels fit really good, but then again they are made for S13/14 fitment

[DirtySanchezS14]

So 18x9.5 +15 is the perfect fit
Doesn't require spacers correct?
That's mainly what I'm trying to get rid of

[ProjectPanda13]

I just bought some 18x9.5 +12 and 18x10.5 +8. I haven't seen any pictures of anyone running 18x10.5 with 235/40/18 in the rears on a S13. I have been trying to use the Varrstoens 18x10.5 +0 as reference but it doesn't seem like anyone really runs them on stock quarter panels. If worst comes to worst, I'll run a 225/40/18 but would prefer a 235 width. My quarter panel is rolled with a slight pull.

that stretch will be ridiculous... though it should clear and ud probably be fine on a 245/45 or 245/35 as well

If I could do a 245/35/18 I would, but am afraid that the +8 offset is too low to run that size tire. Every setup I have seen in the range of +0 to +15 run a 225 stretch on stock quarters or 30mm overfenders. I am currently running 18x10 +18 on 225/35/18 all around on my s13.

[dorkidori_s13]

eh, id recommend going with a higher offset wheel to run bigger tires, but thats just me

[ProjectPanda13]

I recently bought the set of Rezax IIs in that sizing and I really like them. On my track wheels, I'm running 245/40/17 RS3s on my 17x9 RPF1.


He's running a 18x10.5 -4 with 225/35/18 with an aggressive pull and flare


He has 18x10.5 +12 effective with 3mm spacer with 235/35/18.



18x9.5 +12 on 225/40/18 and 18x10.5 +15 on 235/40/18.

Hmmm. Decision.....

I'm running a 235/40/18 on my 10.5 +15 TE37s in the rear. It's pulled slightly and if I remember I'm running about -3.5 degrees of camber.

For reference here's my TEs on 215/45/17 225/45 /18 595s. I'll try and get some pics of the 40s tomorrow.

Interesting that you ran 45 series profile. Was the 215 on a 9.5 width and the 225 on the same 10.5? I'm running about -3 degrees right now I believe running my 225/35/18 on my 18x10.

Yup you got it. I ran the 45s cause I wanted a little bit more comfort and to no be super low. But then I got sick of the ballon sidewall look after about a year and since the federals were almost dead I just picked up some falkens instead

He's running 18x10.5 +3 on 225/40/18 which is the closest example to my 18x10.5 +8. Though he is super low with an aggressive pull and flare, I won't be as low as him, so I may be able to get away with a less aggressive pull.

The more I look at 235/40/18, it seems to wide to fit on a +8 offset. Even on a +15 it looks a little weird to be.

Noob question.

Will a 15' rim with 4.5 offset clear 300zx calipers?

As reference, the stock S13 SE 7spoke wheel is 15x7 +40 and only clears the 26mm 300zx calipers.

Thanks mang...

18x9.5 +15 will fit on a S13 front and rear. You could run a 225/40/18 tire for a square setup. That's the same setup I ran on my s13. The one pictures isn't mine, just a reference. I think only large diameter coilovers like the Tein HA rub. Otherwise you'll be OK.

[dorkidori_s13]

18x9.5 +15 on a 235/40R18 is perfect on the S13 with rolled fenders. you can remove MOST of your camber out in the rear and have zero rubbing issues with your fronts if you max out the camber plates.

this is my last s13 with the same setup i just described (prior to pulling out almost all rear camber before i sold the car)...

Read most of this and still don't know

18x7.5 plus 45
How's the fitment on a 98 240sx with stance suspension and split front end parts?
And will it need spacers?
Will it stick out? (Has stock fenders)
And blah blah blah blah
Pm me if need be
Thanks I. Advance found some vs kf in that size but not sure how the will look of fit

It's seems from what I searched, on a S13 5mm spacers are needed to keep from rubbing the coilover, but S14 seem to be ok.

dont waste your money... you want AT LEAST an 17/18x8.5 +30 to sit flush with the fender up front and 17/18x9 +30 outback for the same fitment. 7.5 is a waste of time in a wheel that size for the 240. wait until you find something that is decent offset, it may cost more... but its well worth it.

this is my car currently... 17x8.5 +30 on 225/45R17 and 17x9.5 +38 on 245/40R17. the wheels JUST sit flush to the fenders (im going to be putting 15mm spacers on this weekend)




PS: the MINIMUM you want in a 7.5 wheel is +10

Good advice and I agree. If you're going to put out the money for some Works, why not get something in better sizing. I mean, unless it's stupid cheap and you're going to rebuild them.
