Wheel Fitment Question Thread

[Stunt'nSlide]

I'm picking up some 18x9.5 +30 wheels and was wondering if I need to do anything besides fender roll to have them fit.

[silviaguy240]

front needs spacers to clear coils, heres 9.5 +35 in the rear with like 0 to -1 so yea roll will be fine in the rear

[killer240]

what do you thin of this set up, i have an S13 fastback, i will be having 30mm overfenders, and pulled front fenders.

F 18x10 -8
R 18x10.5 -14

or 18x9.5 and 18x11?

You'd need atleast 10mm spacers to clear the front, depending on what suspension setup you have.

I have

17x9j+22et w/ 225/45/17 Star Spec F
17x10j+18et w/ 235/40/17 Fed 595S R

Actually running 20mm spacers in front with unknown camber now, clears fine.
And rear I have a stupid amount of camber because I didn't roll the quarters all the way. Been putting that off. But I'm running -4* camber in rear. I know someone with the same setup running -2* camber in the rear. Which is what I plan to do as well once I get around to actually rolling my shit properly.


Before front spacers.

[yomisiu]

so i should be fine! thanks man

[foxystyle]

So I know this sounds stupid. But I have to get some input to put myself at ease.
Im indecisive if I want 17 or 15 inch wheels yet.
A 15x9 in 195/55/15. And 17x9 in 215/40/17. Overall how much taller and in diameter would the 17 be to the 15 with those tires.
My fenders are all mint since 1990, I don't want pull or roll fenders unless I end up going lower on my coils.

[Irresistible]

Rolling the fenders and quarters will not make them less mint if done right...

[foxystyle]

Correct you sir but I rather not do it unless its completely necessary. This isn't my daily, shit I haven't even driven it more than 5 miles in past year. But I might have to make it my daily so now appropriate tire sizes should be looked into.

[foxystyle]

Correct you are sir* typo.

Tire size calculator and type those tires in. Should tell you the difference between the 2 sizing diameter wise. If you plan to run 9j wide rims, shoot for about +20 and you should be good to go. Might still want to roll the fenders, depends on how much camber you want to run.

I have 17x8 & 17x9s (235f 255r) on my car now with kyb agx shocks and springs and stock metal and stock suspension all around. I have a set of SPL rucas waiting to go on. I have a set of 18x9.5+12F and 18x10.5+15R sitting in my room and i would like to get tires on them, any suggestions? I was thinking 235 front and 245 rear? I know im gonna have to roll and pull, BUT how much? Rimtuck only shows wheels and tires not how much work was involved. This is also my DD

p.s. going on a zenkiiiiii

[Irresistible]

What spacer would I need to run with a 17x10j+18et wheel to clear stance gr+ coils up front? Im not asking about fender clearance, just coil. I was thinking like a 10 or 15mm. And would it rub bad on the inside of the wheel well? Stock, not tubbed.

Not sure how thick the coilover is for GR+, but on my Aragostas, 10J +18 is perfect. As far as inner wheel well, run some under sized tires (225 or 235/40-17s), drive the fuck out of it, beat with a hammer where it touches (shouldnt be much).

[slidestyle180sx]

I was look for a good offset and size before I get a set of rims, I have a 89 coupe and running 20mm front, 30mm rear and have 300zx calipers front and rear. I was thinking about getting some work wheels, any help would be great thanks

[fliprayzin240sx]

Figure out what style wheels you want first. Then get some R-disk fronts to clear the 300zx brakes up front. For the rears, you can run any disk style, but O-disk will clear the Z brakes in the rear and they provide the most amount of lip. I'd shoot for 9.5j +12 to 0 offset, then 10.5-11j and shoot for about the same offset. You can run a some higher offset if you want to run some meatier tires.

[gryphon]

Can I fit 18x10.5 +20 on the front of an s13? Also will these clear coilovers and z32 front brakes or will I need a spacer?

Has Stance coilovers but the other arms are stock.

Right now I'm running 17x9.5+15 with a 235/40 tire and there seems to be a good amount of room left.

Will I be able to get away with just a pull/roll on the stock metal? I don't mind running max camber.

[JN1AS4]

I just bought a set MB Battles 17x9.5 +15 for my coupe. And I'm having a hard time deciding on what size tires I need to run. I was thinking 215/45 all the way around all 4 corners have a slight roll. I was thinking 45 series sidewall because I don't wanna SLAM it all the way to the ground. Because my Silvia K's Aero bumper cost to much...lol. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You will need a monster pull up front if you don't have overs. As for suspension clearance, you will have none. I don't know the minimum amount but I do know that you will need it. You would probably have to upgrade your arms as well.

Hello, will 18x9.5+22(f) and 18x10.5+22(r) fit my 98' s14 without any roll or pull and still look good? I am going for function slightly over asthetics. Thanks guys.

you'll be fine with a 10mm.
but i would just run a 15mm just because.

personally i'd almost run a 20mm.
i had a 18x10-1 up front with 225/40.
if you ran a 20mm you would be 10j -2.

just do a 15mm.

depending on suspension you will need a spacer up front.
you left a very important part out. what size tires do you want to run? 255/40F 265/40R?

i ran 17x10.5j+18 255/40 rear and tucked it fine.

[MAHALOHAWAII]

some help please the rims will be on a 2004 NISSAN 350Z!!!

anyone know the best tire sizes to run on the following rims for a slight stretch nothing to extreme but will fill the wheel well just nice?...

18X9+25
18X10.5+20

i plan on buying some STANCE GT+ PRO and dropping it about 2 inches all around with no fender roll or spacers...

[Krazy 300zx]

I have a non hella flush crazed question.

What's the best size to sit kinda flush for a 1995 240sx with rolled fenders? And no stretched tire?

I used to have a 2005 350z with bc racing coils and varrstoen 18x9.5 +12 f (245 tire profile) / 18x10.5 +15 R (275 tire profile). And it still didn't sit too flush. So if you want to be sitting flush then lower the offset both to about +0 of you want to run stretched tires, or else it will look stupid. Or just pick a right sized tire and go 245 front and 275 back and you'll be good.

Here's my old z.
