Mine is 235/40 on a 10.5" so you can get the idea.

Hahaaa I know man. A buddy of mine works for a domestic performance shop, although he drives a 240 lol.

Rules...

Hey guys, quickie.....

XXR 527 17x9.75 ET25 235/40/17 all the way around. Will this fit with my Z front brakes and only having lowering springs?

Never run xxr myself but I believe they do fit bbk.

[sukhy96]

I will be running XXR 527 on my Zenki, 18x8.75 ET20 upfront (will be using 30mm spacers) to make them ET-10 on 215/35/18 tyres. Will they clear the arches with just a roll? i have maxed the negative camber on my Cusco topmounts.

Rears will be XXR 527, 18x9.75 ET20 with 25mm spacers to make them ET-5 with 225/40/18 tyres, will i get away with just again rolling the fenders ? I will want to run -1.0 to -2.5 rear camber also so i dont want retarded camber and i will be using the car to drift with.

i have the 527 in 17x9.75 +25 and it fit my zenki. only issue is I had to use a 10mm spacer up front to clear my PBM coilovers.

[g_mac530]

Anyone have experience with 13" wide wheels? I'm trying to decide what tire to run. It's an 18x13 and its going on an s14 with chargespeed 50mm overs. I haven't fit the overs yet. Ill be bowing them out as far as I can get them to avoid obnoxious (-5,-6,-7) camber. I was thinking a 285/35/18 but I'm not really 100 % sure

[ME GUSTA]

i have 18x13 on my G35. if you're wondering about tire sizes. i'm stretching a 295/35/18.

My friend also has 18x13, and he put 275s on there. after seeing that, I don't recommend it. the tire didn't even reach the edge of the rim, even with the stretch.

i can get a better pic of the stretch on my 295 if you want. but i guarantee 275 will look retarded. 285, maybe.

[g_mac530]

^ Yea that would be greatly appreciated. I also have to keep in mind the fact that different tire makes will stretch better than others. Definitely no way I would attempt a 275 on a 13 though lol

[ME GUSTA]

in the above rear pic, the left tire is a 295/35/18 Nitto Invo and the right tire is a Toyo Proxes T1R, same size.

On my 95 zenki. 17x9.75 +25 with 10mm spacer up front.

[g_mac530]

Thanks. Gives me a much better idea of what I'll be getting into. Your G looks amazing btw

[rchy240rich]

Just purchased 18x10.5 square set up what are my options on tire to run in a s14 metal fenders?

[fliprayzin240sx]

^^^Offset? Not that it matters but its starting to be a pet-peeve when people wont tell us the damn offset. Either way, itll be the narrowest you can fit in there all around 225/40-18s, thats after rolling all around and some pull.

[Zilmatic]

Hey I got a set of SSR SP1 Profs 17x8 +24mm offset wrapped in Pirelli P zero 215 45 17... I need to replace the tires and does anyone have any suggestions for which size to go with and should i run spacers to have a flush fitment with stock metal(wouldnt mind pulling/rolling)? thanks!
(I was thinking of running a 15mm spacer up front and 20/25mm in the rear)
again thanks in advance
on hks hipermax coils - looking to change up to pbms next summer
Merry christmas guys!


EDIT: S13 Hatch Whooops

[zooopreme]

^forgot to mention which chassis

[Irresistible]

I plan on getting an angle set up soon, and part of it involves extending the FLCA's 25mm.

So if I extend my S14 FLCA's by 25mm, will I be able to fit my wheels under stock rolled fenders? I have an S14. I really don't want to have to get fiberglass fenders, I hate them because of their tendency to fall apart.

17x9j+22 with 225/45 currently. Plan on downsizing to 215/40 or 215/45. And will be using spacers accordingly to push wheels out if necessary. But mainly, will they fit under stock rolled fenders?

[davegfeller]

hello can some one help me out im a lil stuck on spacer size i have a s13 coupe with 45mm front fenders with a 18x9 + 15 rim w/ 245/40/18 tire and 50mm rear fenders with a 18x9 +15 rim w/ 275/35/18 tire what size spaces will i need to make them flush please help me out with any info you have

You could go with a 10mm spacer and still have good fitment. Personally, I think that you don't even need spacers up front because the fitment has room for wider tires.

As for the rear, I would stick with the 20mm at most, 15mm at the least. 25mm will also work but you will need a bit of negative camber to make that work even with the stretch.

With the 15-20mm you have room for adjustment and/or you can run slightly wider tires just in case this is a car that needs some sort of function.

Yes. If anything, you'll need spacers to make it look decent. The extra negative camber that you will come across will bring your wheel inwards.

Why do you have over fenders with wheels that look sunken with them and expect spacers to fix it?

Just go with 30-40mm spacers.

[Mteg9]

Hey guys your knowledge would help. Iv done my research and studying but i want confirmation from other people. I own a S14 97 se. For the moment im riding on godspeed coilovers , i am buying these wheels for my car. they're 03 cobra reps deep dish style 10.5x17 +20 offset and 6.53 in backspace. Il put the 10.5 all around, not going to stagger my rims just so i can save money when it comes to rotating the tires.


Im still looking into what tire size i want but whats for sure is i want a little bit of streching and i also dislike low profile tires that make it seem like theres no tire, in short heres the look i want to achieve



I have a kouki but i really like the fitment on that zenki A LOT.

Where i get lost is will these wheels being that there 10.5 compared to stock SE's rub where the coils are and in the front will turning be affected ?
Will i need spacers ?

Im a form over function type of guy so i wont be ragging on these wheels at all. My friends friend drifts with these on a S13 so i have little doubt of them cracking off the hub or anything of that matter.

Your input is much appreciated. Thank you

[zooopreme]

First of all, I think that guy is running 9.5" with spacers and not 10.5". But since you've already purchased them, 10.5" (with stock fenders) is doable for S14's for the rear and doubtful for the fronts.

For one, you need to be real resilient with a hammer and relocate shit around your engine bay or unless you get tubs. Your tires will rub and your turning radius will be terrible with 10.5".

Based on your tire preference, 235/40 would be the minimum amount of tire but a lot of alignment correctional suspension bits will be needed because well, you won't be able to use cheapo arms to make this look good.

I'm worried that Godspeed coils will not hold up with the amount of load that you will be putting your car under. IMO, I doubt that Godspeed coils will allow you to crank the negative camber to where you will need it too and slotting the lower mounts for those would be sketchy.

But anyway, it's going to require a ton of work on your part just to get 10.5" to fit stock fenders. I strongly do not recommend doing so. Get yourself better coils, reputable suspension parts, front lengthened LCA, and go with the smaller width. Your wallet will thank you.

[fliprayzin240sx]

10.5j +20 up front, not gonna fit without spacers. I always tell folks, widest you want to run upfront is 10j. Anything wider and your clearance issue goes fucking exponential and complicated. The poke pass the fender will be the least of your worries.

Its hard to figure out exactly what would fit and wont fit on 10.5j since every coilover out there fits differently. But for reference, the highest offset wheel I've cleared is 18x10 +18 up front. I cant clear the same suspension with 18x10 +22. Thats how close the rims are to the struts.

[JonathanPrem]

Planning getting new set of weds in the following size

18 X 11.5 -45 FR WS-Lo disk with 255/35/18 or 245/35 on 50mm over which i will bow out to 55/60mm. What kinda of camber is needed to fit this on s14.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Well, using a 10j +18 as a reference (since itll fit under the stock fenders), your wheels will stick out 83mm further out. So if you're slapping on 50mm fenders, you still got 33mm to make up. You might be able to bow those fenders out another 15mm or so, maybe even 20mm. You're still short another 13mm. 1* of camber roughly equates to about 8mm or so. How much camber will all depend on how much you can bow those fenders out.

Thanks and hopefully its right. Probably try to bow it out to 20mm if i can and i'd be happy running about -4 to -6 camber out back. Hopefully clear z32 brake.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Lo disk all around? Rears will should clear Z32 brakes by a cunt hair (cleared Lo/O-disk VS-KFs in the rear). If it doesnt, shave down the "Nissan." Front would be Roh-roh...you'd need atleast 13-15mm spacers if its a low disk fronts.
