18x11 with Federal 225/35. Definition of stretching your tires

AS SOSIDEWAYS HAS STATED, USE THE CORRECT THREADS.

SoSideways · 02-28-2008, 12:24 PM

If you want to show your stretches, there's a thread dedicated to that already.

This is the "wheel fitment whore" thread, where you show your actual wheels on the car, and actually showing the "fitment".

Thanks.

I guess the one of them on the car didn't upload. I'll re-do it.

Not only that, but in my opinion stretch and eccesive camber are band-aids for poor wheel fitment in the first place.

Bushido · 02-28-2008, 04:29 PM

^ keep your opinions out of this thread!
If you're wheels aren't cambered and tires aren't stretched, you have bad fitment, and cannot be considered a wheel fitment whore!

Go post in the bubble tire thread.

word. i think the idea of "fitment" in this thread is ridiculous, but this IS the place for it.

Take the talking to PM.....

SWAT Team S14 · 02-29-2008, 06:28 AM

what happened to putting the spec up with pictures? sliders562, you've posted pics with no specs twice....this is useless....post tire/wheel specs!!!!!!

jfandem · 02-29-2008, 04:25 PM

got my tires mounted on my equips the other day, waiting for the car to get back so I can test fit and pull/roll fenders.

I ended up getting 245/35/18 fronts (on 18x9.5 +6)
And rears, 275/35/18 (on 18x10.5 +16)

Hoping I can fit them and go pretty low too. Anyone have this size on a s14?

I have the same sizes waiting to be mounted on my S14 but I'm running 225/40's up front and probably a 245/40 on the rear. With your rear your going to have to pull pretty damn good. My sizing is to minimize pulling the rear and escaping w/ only a front roll.

SoSideways · 03-01-2008, 08:06 PM

F: 17x9 +10 (+20 w/ 10mm spacers) w/ 215/40/17 Falken FK452
R: 17x9 +20 w/ 215/45/17 Falken ZE912

Rear fenders are fully rolled, but with zero pull.

Front fenders are "rolled" with plyers crimping the lip in.

soulessphoto · 03-02-2008, 01:47 PM

^i thought you were selling these?

SoSideways · 03-02-2008, 02:07 PM

I will be selling them when I'm ready. They're on the car still and I just washed them in those pics.

kahlistrophic · 03-02-2008, 04:33 PM

rear: 15x8 et-30 with 205/60/15 in rear, ~25 mm pull and rolled. ~ 3 degrees neg. camber
front: 15x7 et 0 with 195/60/15 if front, coil all the way down, roll. about 3 degrees neg. camber
Weak width and sizes I know...for now.

SlideAlliance · 03-02-2008, 11:11 PM

Needs more neg. camber, but 18x11 -7 with 225/35 Federal's under +30-+35mm Fenders (on the front of an FC3S)

I noticed you said 17x9.5+18 and you wanted 5mm more. Is that already with a 20mm spacer because I was looking on Enkei's site and the 17x9.5 only comes in 38mm offset.

Car looks sick BTW, any new pics?

Edit:
Enkei is retarded because they didnt post that 17x9.5+18 size but I found it on a dealers list

ILoveMyRHS13 · 03-03-2008, 04:59 PM

For anyone that wants to run 10s in the front... Origin Labs is making 40mm front fenders.

What offset would you guys recommend for 15x7 in the front and 16x9 or 10" in the back with 30mm over fenders? Also, what could I run without over fenders?

trogdor · 03-03-2008, 05:05 PM

i would recommend manning up and not running a 7 wide wheel.

ILoveMyRHS13 · 03-03-2008, 05:07 PM

What should I run in the fronts? I was thinking 8... I want 10s in the back, though.

**ThatGuy** · 03-03-2008, 05:11 PM

If you read through this thread you'll see what size you can run with/without whatever.

Coilovers
Flares
Wide Fenders
Stock Fenders
Rolled Fenders
Pulled Fenders
Etc.
Etc.
Etc.

uhhh. how about a 10 up front then? 9 at teh VERY LEAST. FUCKING SEARCH.

300hp owen · 03-03-2008, 06:11 PM

well if a 9.5 +15 fits up front (clears the inside / suspension) then you should be able to understand that a 10" wide wheel would fit with at least a +9 offset or less, like zero, etc. but I bet a +10 would be workable, thats about what I have on my FC for 10" up front and they use similar offsets as S-chassis.

Zilvia4eva · 03-03-2008, 08:13 PM

not a 240...but fitment is on point on this SC(pic taken at the CL meet in SFL on sunday)

20x11.5 +50 offset (305/25/20 rear) stock sheet metal and roll.

function over form wins in my book.....

tanman8181 · 03-03-2008, 09:11 PM
