^^^Narrower wheels and smaller tires. This is why I've told every S13 guys in here to stay the fuck away from 10js up front.

Nissan4Lyfe · 03-23-2013, 10:10 AM

I'm sure I'm going to catch heck for this since I'm "new" and all. But I've searched and searched and searched and can't find anything to help me. I'm trying to fit 18x10 +25 wheels all around my s14. Will they hit my coils in the front? If so how much of a spacer do i need to clear? Any help would be appreciated.

lalo167 · 03-23-2013, 06:55 PM

I've been getting different responses on this.
I want to run 18x10 +15 all around on a s13 coupe with 235/40 front and 255/40 rear.
Least amount of camber. I want to keep stock metal, and no pull if possible. Slight tire tuck all around. Will I need a pull?

Can both of you do me a favor...read a couple pages back. I must have answered both those questions in every other page in here. Shits getting so repetitive, yall are making me wanna take a vacation.

*Wake* · 03-23-2013, 11:03 PM

Why you think I gave up on the small questions thread?

I've eaten my passenger side fender so many times after switching, that I need to replace the damn fender cuz its fatigued as fuck.

True that. I've got Falken ZE512's, which as far as I know, run narrow-ish. Might be wrong though.

I'll look into star specs when the time comes, thanks for the suggestion.

Stupid question, is there an 18" wheel/tire combination that DOESN'T hit the frame rail/upper wheel well/etc on a low S14 when the suspension gets to full compression?

Get better coilovers with higher spring rates...but then you go too stiff trying to keep the car level, it'll be harsher. I usually shoot for the stock overall diameter, 225/40-18 is that for S14s. Some people like to to go smaller to either 215/40s or 225/35s.

cook_s13 · 03-27-2013, 05:57 PM

what it better for my s13 whit stock body
17x9 +12 or +0 FRONT
17x9,5 +12 or +0 Rear??

what is the best +12 or +0?
Tks cook!

*fliprayzin240sx* · 03-27-2013, 07:57 PM

I'd go 9.5 +12 all around...

Irresistible · 03-27-2013, 10:30 PM

Figured this would be the place to ask...

I have 9j+22 RPF1's with 225/45 tires up front, and I wanna run like -5* or 6* camber. I'm obviously gonna need like a 30mm spacer or something.

I've been searching a lot of shit on the topic of bolt on spacers, and a bunch of people say to stay away from them... Someone change my mind so I can have cool camber. Also, which hubcentric 25mm-30mm bolt on spacers have people had success with?

*fliprayzin240sx* · 03-28-2013, 06:15 AM

Spacing out 9j wheels so you can run camber...YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!!!

Irresistible · 03-28-2013, 10:00 AM

Yea, for now it's all I can afford to do/all I have time to do. I'll be moving up to bigger wheels with lower offsets later this summer for sure. But I want to make it at least look cool for the time being.

I've been looking into going both of those routes.

Right now, I'm on Stance GR+'s and the ride isn't bad, but I think that there might be something better suited to my use for the car (Spirited DD). I'm sort of torn on playing with spring rates though, I'm really concerned that I'm essentially going to start making the suspension stop doing it's job at some point....

The logical next move seems to be to run either 215/40's or 225/35's and see if they correct the problem. Also, I believe a large sway may net an improvement as well, seeing that it should help with body roll over the front corners as well.

blksylv · 03-28-2013, 10:51 AM

to run a 17x10+29 with a 245/45 in the rear, i already have the rear lips rolled flat, how much camber should i be expecting to run?

10k/8k. Best thing I've done to my Stance coils. Though for some it may be "uncomfortable" or whatever. I feel like the valving is better for the higher rates.

Thank yous.

cchondro · 03-28-2013, 04:31 PM

pull your fenders
done.

zooopreme · 03-28-2013, 09:47 PM

You were fucked from the start trying to run 16x10 +0 all around.

For the fronts, run more neg camber and go lower. Or get better sized wheels. For the rears, go lower, roll/pull fenders. Or get better sized wheels.

Without touching the fenders any more, itll be very minimal, 1-2* tops.

I don't have any complaints about my PBM spacers. They're adjustable from 15-30mm also if that's something you're into. They're "hubcentric", which I believe in the rear because it was a tight squeeze getting them on, but I have a harder time believing that for the fronts since they went on so easy. Been using them for about 2-3 months now.

Breareos · 03-30-2013, 07:38 PM

Hi, I'm looking to get some Work Emotion XD9s for S14, I was thinking of 18x8 +28 front and 18x9 +20 rear...Not totally sure if they will fit, this is my first car I've wanted to modify.
Additional info: Car sits on KW V3s with about 1.5" drop, camber wise I was planning on running 2.0* front and 1.3* rear, I'd like little to no tire stretch, and am willing to get the fenders stretched if necessary. I'd really like to run 9" Fronts and 10" Rears if the fenders can be pulled wide enough to fit. I'd run overfenders, but I'd be afraid of them cracking from winter storage, and I'd want to hide the rivets.

*fliprayzin240sx* · 03-31-2013, 08:15 AM

If you're not scared of pulling fenders, 18x10 +18 all around. Stagger the tire width to your liking. 225/40-18s up front, rears can be anything and everything if you decide to do the fender work. More wider tires if you decide to go over fenders (275-285s), but you can go 225/40-18 all around and be minimal fender work (roll and slight pull) on those sizing.

I'm glad to hear minimal work would be necessary, thank you very much!

EDIT: I found an example of my wheel selection on Rimtuck. 18x9 +20 225 front and 18x10 +18 255 rear. The stretch isn't too extreme, I could live with it.

crzsteveo · 04-01-2013, 11:43 AM

is it possible to fit a 12" wide wheel in the rear? with no roll? just the inner lip rolled flat or cut out.

with about -3 camber or more

You wont need a roll if you cut the fenders and run over fenders.

I dont even think you have 12" between the fender and suspension.

Steve5405 · 04-01-2013, 05:15 PM

Real stupid question, but will 16x8 +25 rims with 225/50r16 fit on my s13 with no spacers or finder rolling?

I have 16x8+42 and +36 and both clear coils. So 16x8+25 should fit no problem.

Agent S14 · 04-01-2013, 09:52 PM

I need help I'm on 17x10.5 on a 225/45 tire 15mm spacer in the front and 25mm spacer in the rear. I'm on stance coils, Godspeed toe arms and Yamato garage rucas. I'm thinking pulling and rolling the front fenders will solve my issue. Also the rear is already rolled and I just cambered it in more and I have had no problem with the rear.

Any suggestions is appreciated I'm new to this and I have no s chassis friends to discuss with.
