I'm not sure how to workout inset as apposed to offset. I know that inset is measured as positive offset from wheel center to stem side but I wanted to get a second opinion just to give myself an idea of what would work.

17x9 +10 18x9.5 +10 will work with stock metal but I am not 100% sure on what exactly you are trying to accomplish. Are you going for a wheel offset to fit fat tire or going for a good fitment?

Fracture · 09-21-2012, 11:36 AM

215/40 and 225/45. tire sizing i can figure out on a fitment calculator i just wanted to know wheel insets that would work on s13's

After several days and intermittent hours of going through this entire thread, I have come to the conclusion that the guy who posts here, or on NICO who had a zenki/kouki that he tracked was onto something that looked like it worked

17x9.5 +18's with 245-45-17

The photos from the car that was tracked that had this tire/wheel combo had the wheel/tire just barely tucked. It looked good. Now if I can remember where I saw it and get the SUSPENSION set up to clear all that... The car looks like it has the basic spring/shock combo on it with these wheels and tires. I figure whatever wheels with Advan S.4's to clear the edges since they have the highest amount of curve on the sidewall

Am I missing something?

drftx · 09-21-2012, 07:50 PM

i got a question if anyone can answer

i recently sold my old wheels and kept my tires they are 235/40/18 feddy 595's old wheels were work kiwami 18x10.5+23

new wheels are work equip 18x11-9 was wondering if the 235/40 will be too much on a 11? if anyone has pics of a 235/40 on a 18x11 lemme see thxx!

Who in their right mind would ever trade your Kiwami's for Equips? Smh.

Anyway, since they're Federals they run like 245's. 245/40 on a 11"? Doable. Safe? No. If I were you, I'd just run 255/35.

No, should clear for the most part. 245/40-17s are the same diameter as 225/40-18s.

Its doable, but I've ran 265/35s and those are stretched on 11j. Stretched like me running 225/40s on 10js.

joeli102 · 09-22-2012, 02:17 AM

I have 17X9.5 +12 with 245/45/17 on my S13 hatchback and I was wonder if it is possible to fit them with stock metal. Should I roll the fenders and then camber or camber and then roll the fenders. I have adjustable coilovers and RUCA

*fliprayzin240sx* · 09-22-2012, 08:48 AM

Its doable but you'd have to run more camber in the back. I fucking hate pulling the rear hatch fenders due to the denting effect. If you pull the rear fenders too much, the are directly on top of the arch have a tendency to buckle in and dent.

MeGusta.jpeg · 09-22-2012, 01:50 PM

For the front, what size spacer would i need to clear stance coilovers
225/40 on a 17x9.75 XXR wheel

No. Go search.

XXR spacer fitment bullshit is easy to find.

Plus it doesnt do just jack and shit if we dont know the offset.

joeli102 · 09-23-2012, 12:14 AM

So just camber as much as possible in order to pull as least as possible... Does anyone have photos of a set up like this?

MrSanchez925 · 09-23-2012, 12:53 AM

Question, I just picked up a pair of 17x8.25 +25 F & R for my s13. And am planning to lower the car a significant amount, (tucking tire) and possibly throw in a 15mm spacer in the rear and a10mm up front.

I am debating weather to run a 215/45/17 or a 205/40/17. What are your suggestions?

Wheel width (from inside the Lips)

Backspace, *( from the mounting face to the inner lip at the back)
measures 135mm

so 135 - 120 = 15

so the wheels are 18 x 9.5 +15 ? they do fill the arches really well on a s15.
dose this sound right? i was told buying them that they are 18x9.5+35

Pics for ref

Thankyou

Measurement's good but I dont thik they're 9.5j +15. They'd stick out further than that on S15s if that is spot on spec wise. Dont think they'd be +35 either, cuz even 9j +35, the fronts will be rubbing on the suspension. Thats unless the fronts are spaced out. They're probably more 9j +20-25 ish, maybe even +18.

after taking apart my wheels Today i found out they are actually 9 not 9.5

so working out again they are (Where) indeed 18x9 et19 thanks for that,

have bought 3.5" and 3" lips to re barrel the wheels so it will they will be 18x10.5 et0 rear and 18x10 et6,

joeli102 · 09-23-2012, 01:30 AM

Depending on how much you want to stretch its personal opinion... I would rather the 215

MrSanchez925 · 09-23-2012, 02:09 AM

Just checked out TyreStretch.com and decide with a 205.

Its probably the best site to get an actual look on tire size on rim size.

YamaMX · 09-24-2012, 04:16 PM

Looking to get 18x9.5 Grids wrapped in 225/40's for my S14 with Megan coilovers. Going through some backlog, it seems +15 clears in the front and does not rub on the coilovers, however I'm not seeing them for sale anymore. Anyone running 18x9.5 e20's on an S14 with coilovers? Trying to find out how big of a spacer I'll need to run. Was trying to stay away from needing new studs and such, but it's seemingly inevitable at this point.

Looking like I'll need a 10mm spacer, but anyone with this set up feel free to chime in.

gist864 · 10-02-2012, 03:42 PM

i have been reading countless pages excuse me if i look over it but what is the widest set of tires you can run on a zenki s14 w/o having to roll bang pull your fenders right now im looking at 18x9.5+12 looking for best grip i can get with a stock metal once again excuse me if this has been answered

225/40-18s and you'd have to roll the fenders, there's no buts or ifs about it. If you want to run wider tires, you'll need to pull it some.

If you want to run the widest tires possible...

ME GUSTA · 10-02-2012, 04:25 PM

FWIW. I have 17x9.75 +25 in the rear. with 225/45. Dropped down almost to the rim and the rear fenders aren't rolled. It tucks just perfectly.

Frank_Jaeger · 10-07-2012, 03:37 PM

I know this will look like ass. I just need to get my wheels with good tires on the car.

I'm on stock suspension and have stock brakes.
Can I run 17x7.5 +46 in the front and clear?
Can I run 17x8.5 +37 in the rear and clear?

I'm ordering Drop Engineering 5 lug conversion hubs, I need to know if I need spacers too.

No I will not buy better fitting wheels.

EDIT: Sorry, forgot to mention this is for an S13 coupe.

No need to be a smartass, he was trying to help you. Also, I'm going to assume you're still on struts/springs.

Second, a slip on spacer will do for the fronts since they won't clear regardless even with coils. I would suggest getting an 8mm spacer at the very least. It'll leave about a good 4mm's of space.

Not trying to be a smartass, just want to be sure. Sometimes people don't read everything in a post, especially on car forums. He might have just seen my specs and assumed I was asking about aesthetic fitment.

Thank you both for the info!

Did you just really recommend something to run 8mm slip-ons on stock studs?!?! He'd be lucky to get 2 turns with the lug nuts...

The better answer would have been to atleast just look for somebody getting rid of stock S14 SE wheels for cheap and run those. Wont need spacers, clear brakes/suspension and can usually be had free if you pay for the tires still on them.

Or atleast gone Grimm's way, stay 4 lugs and get some 4 lug wheels that has good fitment and dont look like a complete ass.

I have 5 lug Super Advan V2s in the original metallic blue finish and new tires. If I ever find a pair in the same finish bigger than the rears, I'll sell the fronts, put the rears I have now on front, and new wheels on the rear. Otherwise, for the price I paid for these fuckers I'm happy.

According to my wheel offset calcalator, the rears will extend 35mm past stock on the outside, which is plenty for me. I haven't gotten bitten by the herrafrush bug yet. I'll get 20mm spacers for the fronts, with arp studs and call it a day*. The only reason I asked is I'm okay with shitty offset for now, and if I can get away with not running spacers I would for the time being, but apparently I can't.

*I'm still researching the differences between extended studs and additional studs.

Irresistible · 10-07-2012, 10:33 PM

I'm planning on getting 50mm overs for my S14, and already have 10j+18 wheels with 225/45 tires. I want to run -2* camber. Will I need spacers or should it fit pretty decent?

I've tried doing the math myself a bunch of times and it seems like it'll fit, but I'm not exactly sure, I'm sort of just guesstimating.
