Oh ok, I see what happened, your turbo hit full boost and ripped a hole in space-time, that explains the gap.

On a serious note....why not get some rear widebody and get some 18X13s made.....and run some 335s on them, then shit on everything?

Dub's · 09-15-2011, 12:35 AM

I really want to keep the car body stock asap. I already got a paint job so it would be a hard decision. Need some sponsors to help me buy wheels and shit. lol

Here is my favorite site for helping me figure out wheel and tire fitment.

Online Wheel & Tyre Fitment calculator. Offset and Tyre Stretch

JZenki · 09-19-2011, 12:33 PM

looking to fill in fender gap with xxr 527s 17x9.75 25+ all around, what size tires should I be looking at? Even if it'll look funny I don't mind stretching skinny width/tall sidewalls..

godzillarb · 09-19-2011, 12:57 PM

Another good site for checking fitment: Wheel Offset Calculator - The Ultimate Stance Calculator | Jonathan Rowny

Check the tire manufacturers web site, for wheel width reccomendations, and you tell us. I have a hard on for the hankook RS3s lately, but the kumho XS have a few more available sizes.

Full lock probably isn't going to be where it rubs. Since the inset (backspace) is 21mm less. I'd be more worried about the outer egde of the tire hitting that pinch weld directly behind the tire. I'm not even sure S14 has it.

Edit: That 1010 calculator also sucks. Willtheyfit.com FTW again.

I tried willitfit.com. 1010tires, carandtyrebible.com, rimsandtiress.com and one more. I think I mesured it correctly. on the tire and on the side of the tire 3" all aorund no rubbing. It was said earlier by zooopreme that it would fit. its under the wheel fitment thread. found here direct link to post: http://zilvia.net/f/chat/392494-whee...ml#post4258388

Shiftdriftz and skilz. How much space ya have between your wheel and coilovers. This will help me get an idea.

I have stock suspension, but in the rear probably 1/2"

I was running 315/35/17 Nitto DRs on a RB26 with maybe a max of 500hp ... it'd still do a rolling burnout at 50-60mph. With that much power, I'd skip right to a 335. That's actually what I'm going to do once the car is back up and I'm in the 700hp range.

BlackZenkiS14 · 10-06-2011, 11:15 AM

Anyone have pictures of an S14 running a 255/45/17 on a rear 10" rim. I desperately need new tires, and have access to a free pair of brand new Nitto NT555's but they are a 45 sidewall, and I dont know how well that would fit.

SRpowah · 10-16-2011, 06:56 PM

maybe not "maximum" for what my fenders can fit, but they're the maximum width street tire i can get for 16" wheels in a reasonable outer diameter.

16x9 -22 front, 16x10 +0 rear, 245/45/16 all around

R@ddy · 10-16-2011, 10:40 PM

This is what I got for now. 17x10 +35 275/40/17 in the rear. Unknown camber specs. Need new tires :P

simmode1 · 10-20-2011, 08:50 PM

^^^You made 18x9.5+(effective)20 fit upfront?! With 245 tires!?!

Need more details plz. What coils, camber settings and other necessary mods?

89slidebox240 · 10-20-2011, 10:14 PM

Well im running d2 coils camber is pretty much max up front -5 degrees, i had to roll and pull the fenders for temp use and space the wheels 20mm to clear the coils.i had to make some room in front of the tires cause they were rubbing on the wheel well i smacked it in with a hammer but honestly it didnt take much and i also had to make sure i wouldnt hit the pinch weld behind the tire so i took care of that too other than that they fit no problem

If i had wide fenders there would be no need for all that camber tho they fit in there fine i didnt think they would but they actully fit in there very well

Thanks. I'm trying to get a sense of how much work I'm in for when I try 17x10+20 with 245/40's up front on Megan coils + their extended brackets. Don't wanna use spacers or fiberglass fenders.

Sidenote: Yeah, that is one of the worst front fender pulls I've seen...lol... sorry...

Yea i kno they look like shit haha but its a temp thing i only did it to fit the wheels in a hurry but im buying 30mm front fenders over the winter so i wasnt to concerned about it

And u may need to use spacers theres a good chance u wont clear ur coils

Stock S13 Megan coils just barely clear 9.5+12 wheels from what I've seen other ppl running. But their extended bracket gives you another 25mm of clearance between the wheel & coilover. So my main concern isn't the wheel hitting the coilover at this point, but the wheel/tire hitting the inner wheel well fender lining and firewall at lock.

Just wondering how much hammer bashing I'm gonna need to do and why I haven't heard of anyone else trying this yet...

mikerbike · 10-21-2011, 02:34 PM

Just wondering, Why not use a 245 or 255/35 18 front? 245/40 is pretty tall.
