Wheel Fitment Question Thread

[outfronts13]

I recently got a S13 what is the best size for running the stock camber set up

[jumpman2334]

this should be good.

Big question!!
I'm buying wheels for an s15, it has R33 brembo caliper on the back, do you think work sp1 3pc in O disk will clear it?

Hello, I just ordered some 18x9.5 +12 Square G8s, for my stock bodied Zenki. I'm wondering if you think that 18s will be too big for the stock body, especially in front. Also does anyone have some pics of this setup? All the cars I've seen with 18s have some sort of aero. Also will I run into binding on the wheel well with stock angle?
Thanks

You're talking about S14 Zenki, right? 18's are fine on the stock Zenki. Aero is a plus though. Just pick your tire size carefully. Wouldn't recommend anything over a 40 profile.

What's your suspension setup?

Thanks for the reply. It is an s14 Zenki. It just has coilovers right now, but I will probably end up needing rear upper control arms. For tires I was thinking about 235/40/18. Do you think I will have any clearance issues with tires rubbing the front wheel well?

^^^That's the same tire size I ran on my Zenki with Z33 Anniversary wheels. But I was only on drop springs.
You might encounter some rubbing if your fenders aren't rolled. You can also minimize rubbing by dialing in a little negative camber.

I am definitely rolling the fenders (fronts are already done), and I don't have a problem with 2-3 degrees of camber in front.

Question:

Looking to purchase a set of 18x9.5 et22's.

will these sit flush on the car without having to run neg camber? I believe so but don't want to purchase them if they will poke past the factory body.

Thank guys

On an s13 it might be hard to fit those with stock fenders. On an s14 they should fit good with a roll.

I also want to mention that you might need a small spacer to clear the coilovers in front depending on what you have. 22 offset should fit with no spacer, but there is still a small chance that you might need one.

Hey Guys,

Just got some new rims for the track s13 for grip driving. 18x10.5 all around. Rears are fine

Right now I got some RSRR 275 35 18, but the front is hitting the inner well (already hammered the lip).... I know my caster is around 7.5 to 8 (forget stock).... 2.75 camber up front and 0 toe.

Should I decrease the caster? Trying to keep it around stock...

Should I hammer more? OR

Should I go with a 255 35 or 245 35 to gain more clearance? I am trying to run as much tire as possible without compromising too much...

Much appreciate it!

Would a 15x7.5 -5 fit nice and flush in the rear on a s13 coupe at -3 camber? Would fender pull be required?

Won't need a pull or be flush with -3

My car with stock arms on it when it was still on 15's cleared a 15x8.5-6 with just rolled fenders and was around -2.5-3 camber with a 205/50 and 195/55 tire

Has anyone ran 18x10, 18x9 +45 on a S14? I tested fitted the 18x10 +45 in the rear and I may need a spacer to clear the coils. I wanted to run maximum tire size hence the high offset.

Double post.

[humancola]

Stock body S13 on coils.

17x9.5 -18 RPF1's all around.

235/40R17 fit without drama?

General searching seems that it should work, may need some rolled fenders?

Depending on tire size it wan work with 15mm spacer in the rear and 25 up front. Bigger spacers will be required if you run a smaller tire size and you're going for cooler fitment.


In my experience with an s13 recently 18 9j +45 up front; in order to make it fit and look how I wanted it to I utilized a pair of 50mm spacers I had laying around and wrapped the tires in a 205/35. Opted for a bigger spacer rather than extending my FLCA this time around.

At what point will I need extended studs? I prefer to run spacers and not resize the wheels as these will be going on my Supra/MK4 sooner or later too..

Honestly don't want to run stretch tires if I dont have to.. thanks for replying! I didn't think anyone would... it seems the forums has been quiet these days.

You do not need extended studs if you buy bolt on spacers. Once you decide what tire size you want to run which will be dependent on what ride height you plan to go with that will help narrow down the size of the spacers you will need to utilize.

What body mods are required to make a set of SSR professor SP1 17x9.5 +6F/18x10.5 -3R fit a s13 convertible ?

[AnnaKendrick]

Anyone running a setup close to 17x9.5 +18 with ZERO camber in the rear on an S13?

[eagleeyes221]

hi, I am currently running 20mm origin over fenders in the front and 30mm origin over fenders in the rear. With my setup will i be able to run a set of RPF01's in 18x9.5 +15 without the use of any spacers?

suspension is KYB AGX struts with eibach sportline springs. i am also running Z32 brakes front and rear with the possibility of upgrading the fronts to CTSV brakes in the future.

any help would be appreciated, thanks

18x9.5 +15 would fit under stock fenders depending on the tire size you used. What are your tire sizes?

There are so many unanswered questions about this post... I don't even know where to start.

Im sorry, your right i forgot to add in that i have a S13 using S13 subframes with stock length lower control arms. Im not very good when it comes to suspension and the like. what other information would you need to know aside from tire sizes? as far as that goes Im not quite sure what my options are yet. All i have right now is a idea that i wasnt sure if it would work with my setup.

thanks
