Hey guys. I have 17x9.75 +25 offset and I was thinking of running 215/40 or 225/45 all around. What do you guys recommend? Its also for a s13 and I have stance coilovers.

Thanks.

depends on if you want stock qtrs, or plan on going wide body. I ran 18x9+12 and 18x10-1 with one inch spacers all around, with pinch 30mm wide rears and 30mm fronts. I like the wide body look....but again, depends on camber and how much pull you want to the fenders if you are running stock body .

Hi everyone, so i just put my 205/50/15 toyo r888 on my stock s13 se rims but for some reason there is VERY little space between the tire and coils i have to raise the car all the way up so that the locking rings are above the tires so that it wont rub. i was told that i would be able to clear easily with stock se rims and those size tires. but i dont know why i only have a gap that can only fit a quarter between it. I have hks hyper d coils on. can someone please help me? thanks alot

Nope, I think it's really just you. I was curious to see if I had the same problem after I posted-- so I removed my 15mm spacers and I had more than enough space with Fortune Auto coils. FA's are beefy coils too.

Not sure how you can remedy the problem. Frame/strut towers aren't straight? Not entirely sure. Go with what USDM said.

You'll have to pull it and relocate the harness. How much of a pull will depend on how much camber you're running. Less camber, more pull. Fronts will only pull so much before they get sketchy. I honestly like using a hammer and a rubber mallet to pull the front fenders. I usually use a blow torch to heat up the fender from underneat to make the metal more maliable.

Sup guys need some help trying to figure this out my setup.

I picked up some Advan wheels 18x9 +22 18x10 +25 225/35 235/40

I figured running 20mm spacers all around for my S14 to be properly stanced.

Any advice what to actually do?

Hi guys, I'm In austraila at the moment and iv found a nice set of wheels for sale back home they are 18x9.0jj -0 & 18x10.5jj-12 , they will be going on a s14a hopeing to use 30mm or 50mm over fenders without spacers, can any of you fellow lovley s chassis fans fill me in if ill need massive spacers to fill 50mm overfenders front and rear? Or what size spacers ill need? iv serched for ages on Google but am no the wiser, and need to deciede soon before the wheels sell,
I think iv worked out that from the hub to the edge of the rim its 115mm front and 142mm rear, if anyone knows what it roughly is from the hub of a s14 to its arch I can probably work it out, thanks

Depends on how low you go. My tire just meets my fender and I'm running a 255/35 on a 18x10.5 +15 with just a roll and -1.6 camber.

-5 camber is an insane amount

I kinda have the same question....

Planning on running a 18x10.5 +15 in the rear, on an s13 though. 225/40 Falken 512's, which run slim, and about -4, to -4.2 camber.

How much of a pull am I gonna need? And does anyone have any pics?

It depends on how low you are and how much camber you want to run 17x9 +15 looks good on a stock body if you are lowish with a roll on an s13 also it would help if you said what car s13,s14,q45, maxima
