Gurus' just double checking on my setup before hitting the "purchase" button for the tires.
S14 Body with stock fenders....willing to roll and pull as needed. Looking to minimize the amount of camber on setup due to power goals for daily driving (est. at roughly 500whp). NOT going for the crazy stretched tire look at all. A slight stretch is more than enough for me Front- 18x9.5 +22 (need spacer). I am thinking that 235/40 tire would work well Rear- 18x10.5 +22 (hopefully wont need spacer). 275/35 or would 265/35 be better? I have seen both done and most often I have seen the 265/35 setup but I would like to maximize the amount of rear tire that I can get on the rim without having crazy camber so I am leaning more toward the 275/35 setup. Looked on 3 "Tire Calculator" websites just want to make sure I consult with the experts before making the purchase. Thanks in advance and I look forward to your feedback. |

Personally, go lower offset on the front so you dont have to worry about spacers. Kick it down to atleast +18 to as low as +12.
Rears, 275/35s will fit with some fender pull. How much pull would depend on how low the car is. If you just need to pull so the tire doesnt rub, it shouldnt be much work. If you're trying to tuck tires under the rears, you'll need to do some work pulling the rears. |

Thank you sir....I already purchased the rims because I got a great deal so unfortunately I will be using a spacer up front. I dont know exactly what size yet but I am assuming that a 5-10mm will do as you noted but I wont know until the rim is on the car and I can measure.
I am not trying to tuck the rears I am more tryin gto avoid rubbing once the car is lowered. It will not be extremely low because of shitty NY streets and also my Apexi GT Spec that hangs low anyway. I am looking more for the flush look than the tucked look. Thanks again sir I thought I was in the right ball park with the tire size but wanted to be sure since I am going to purchase tires today or tomorrow. |

Im a total idiot when it comes to this wheel fitment shit. I have a s14 and want the cobra reps 17x10.5 +27 all around.
I know I can fit them in the rear with no problem, but the front is my worry. I pm'd a guy that had them on his zenki with no pull, but little did I know, he hasn't been on here in 8 months. I am planning on going AS LOW AS POSSIBLE. (call me a fanboy but slammed cars get me going) So, what would I have to do to pull it off besides spacers. I do not want to pull my fenders. If I need to go with the 17x9 +26 in the front so be it, but I would really like to pull off the afore mentioned setup. I am planning on running alot of camber anyways and stretch. |

Your going to need to run a spacer a 25mm spacer to clear front i believe but every coilover is different. You'd need to "slot" the coilover for the extra camber. A 235/40 stretch should be adequate. If the wheels still don't fit do a very slight pull. |

If the fender wells if you run a 40 sidewall tire you should be fine. I currently has a 45 sidewall on 17's and rub the front fender wells nasty haha, it was all the tire shop had at the moment. |

Depends on the coilovers...kicker is S13 wheel clearance sucks. You'd have to do alot to make 10js fit up front of an S13. S14s on the other hand are cake. |

Well, get some 60s and bow out the living fuck out of them. You can probably get another inch on most over fenders as long as they dont suck and layed out thick as fuck.

yeshh. switch it up though 18x8.5 in the fronts, 18x9.5 in the rears. Your car shouldn't be that low on that setup so i don't think you'll need to roll the fenders.
