only a few alignment shops that can do this....sometimes you just need to do it yourself using the proper tools.

You talking about tucking under stock fenders or after market fenders?

The proper way of doing it with aftermarket fenders, cut the rear fenders up in the rear, fit your wheels, lower it however low you want it, get it aligned, then fit your overfenders so you can use the wheels as a reference in bowing your fenders in/out.

or you learn how to do basic alignment in your garage and live with it.

What's the highest offset you can run on an S14 with the O-Disk Work VS series wheels with 9.5 front/10.5 rear while still clearing brakes. And also, I heard Kouki S14s have more room under the fenders than zenkis, is this true? It doesn't sound right.

[Enna]

Why would you want the highest offset you can fit? That just seems ass backwards.

Hi I don't currently have a picture of my set up but I'm running Stance GR+ pros on my s13 hatch and the wheels I have are the 527s. 17x9.75 +25 and I was wondering if anyone else ran into this problem?

I just want to know what size mm spacers you guys ran in the front to clear the struts and I would probably be using extended studs so the sizing doesn't matter. My tire set up is 215/45 in the front and 225/45 in the rears. The rears are cool, but the fronts need spacers!! I just want to know what size would be perfect and won't have too much poke and have a crazy off set.

s13 coupe. 30mm rear overs, front fenders are stock. i am thinking of running a 16x10 or 11 rear and 16x9 front. what offsets would make me flush?

I'm just wondering, like would 18x9.5 +14 with the o-disk be able to clear z32 brakes up front?

I'm thinking -20 in the rear if you run the 11s and 0 in the front.

I believe O-disk is the one for maximum caliper clearance, but I can't recall. Those sizes tho will easily fit under an S14's fenders.

[Mister.E]

O-disk is minimum brake clearance and maximum lip. if you get o-disk wheels up front you are gonna need like a 15mm spacer to clear Z32 brakes.

[Enna]

A-disk is the one I'm thinking of then. I always fuck those 2 up.

[Mister.E]

A-Disk is standard disk, R-Disk is for big calipers.

not saying that A-disk wont work since i have no experience with it, but as far as Work wheels go R-Disk is the standard for bigger brake calipers.

[Lugged]

Anyone got any idea if the 370z 18" base model rims fit into a s13 and also clear the z32 brakes?

18x8 +43
18x9 +15


Thanks in advance!

[x 240]

trying to get 17x10 all around on a hatch. is it possible without running too much camber? or do i need over fenders. fenders are getting rolled and slight pull

[Jersthecool]

Alright so I've been deciding between some low budget wheels and decided 18x9.5+15 is the best offset for s13's. So I'm stuck between the rota p45r's and the p45r2's. Both are the exact same size with +15 offset but the p45r2's have a bigger dish. So for them to acheive the same offset does it pretty much mean the p45r's have more of a concave design where the lugs bolt up to where as the p45r2's are more flat or am I completely missing something?

Here's the pictures for reference:

[Jersthecool]

If you were directing that to me then perfect thanks! How can I know if the p45r2 is gonna clear my z32 breaks because I can't find anyone else with them on an s13!

[My$800S14]

Is it safe to flip a 3 piece wheel? Are the lips strong enough? It would seem that they are deffinately thinner than the inner barrels, so I was really curious to know weather flipping them would be dangerous or not.

I was wondering if this set up would work with stock fenders. slightly rolled already

I have an s14 Zenki and don't really want to make any further adjustments to the fenders.
Have z32 5 lug hub and brake conversion with Tien suspension.
Rear 17x10 +17 with 235/40 NT05
Front 17x9 +25 with 235/40 NT05

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Just roll them flat, camber as needed. you may need a spacer to clear the front z32 depending on the spoke design, you should prolly look for something with a lower offset up front, what wheels are you gonna run? And they should fit easy I would run that on my s13 no prob except I would do a little more strecth up front

No it doesnt mean they have to be concave, but they do look more concave my p45s had a huge slab of metal behind them that the studs pass through. So on the p45r2 I'm guessing that slab is thinner keeping the same offset just adding a lip may sound confusing but if you look at te back of the wheels it's easy to see

I've seen people run x10 all the way around, they don't look bad just search 17x10 +17 they should come up

[diacris]

How would these fit an S13? Would they sit out of the fender? Or within it?

It depends how low you are and If you wanna roll or pull your fenders, there's litterally a 36 page thread dedicated to these wheels

[diacris]

Link, please? Just searched for it and couldn't find it
(Fenders are rolled)
But, I mostly just need to know if they will stick out of the fender and look like hell.

[Jersthecool]

On my s13 coupe I was going to run 18x9.5 +15 all around with 215/40's but I'm trying to decide about going 18x9.5 +15 in the front with a 215/40 and 18x10 +20 in the rear with a 225/40/18 but I'm not sure if it's gonna fit or even clear the coilovers in the rear. My fender is rolled but I am not looking to pull it. Anyone have any info they can throw my way?

[towlie]

Okay so I'm derpin out.

Purchased a 18x10.5 +15 wheel, (doesn't arrive till next week) I don't want to run more then -1 to -1.5 deg of neg camber.. No -6 to get it to tuck or any of that bullshit

My quarters are fucked from being an idiot so I'm really thinking about overs. What size would I need to make it non sunk/ somewhat flush? I'm no fitment bitch, and I don't mind running a 5-10 slip on with extended lugs but other then that I prefer to not use a spacer.

Previous set up was 18x10 +10 and that sat awesome with slight pull. Since my new set up is .5" wider and .5 is roughly like 13mm, I'm gonna need a 20mm with bow to fit? or play it safe and get a 30mm?

I hate thinking

[Mister.E]

just get the 30mm's and space it out a little if you need to. is there even a company that makes 20mm rear overs? i thought the standards were 30mm and 50mm

[towlie]

Thanks, 30mm it is then.

And idk, I was a few beers deep when I was looking at overfenders last night lol. Like I said, derpin out
