On my s13 I'm running s14 lca's in the front and an s14 rear subframe. Basically I just need to know the difference in length on each side front and rear. I've read the fronts are either 10mm or 15mm longer (searching didn't really help with that). Is the difference the same out back?

[PeaceOnesxWai]

^S14 is about 3/8th" wider both front and rear.. its very minimal difference, but surely not 10-15mm per side. Fender wells have different size on S14

So I have an S14.5 with Origin +20mm fenders up front and stock metal rear. I am set on buying a set of 19 x 10 +19 wheels. I have z32 front and rear as well, which I know just a spacer will fix that if my barrel design is not able to clear. I also do not have coil overs yet.

There will be almost no drifting on these wheels so im not worried about full lock rubbing and stuff like that. I just wanted to make sure that the fronts will be okay, since the origin stuff takes a few months to arrive if I mess up my fender. What other coilovers would clear the fronts besides apexi N1s? I might be set on bc type br coils and I assume they are the same thing essentially.




front






Cant really judge the rear lol





Btw, ive been reading up to page 15 so far to see if anyone else has this problem


Edit- read all 85 pages so far. so far I understand from flips repetition that

9j +9 and 10j +10, 1* camber =8mm, don't go wider than 9.5 in front, do whatever you want in rear.

I'm not gonna be slammed herraflush, so my 19 x 10 +19 should be good all around with some minor camber up front and a small spacer to clear whatever coils I get.
Rear should be okay will a roll and some camber if I need it.

Anyone care to suggest some wide wheel friendly coils? I know flipz said his aragostas cleared a lot and I'm not running any Megan stuff.

Wow...you actually read and listened to what I said...

You're trying to run 19x10 +19 all around? Honestly, 19s on don't belong on these cars, they just look too big even on S14s. Also what size tires are planning on running? Do you already have an idea on which wheels?

Here's a set of 19x9 +19 and 19x10 +20...IIRC tires were 235/35-19 all around.





Since you want 19x10 up front, imagine these sticking out an extra 12mm closer to the fenders. Since my front fenders are pulled, they should be nearly the same as 20mm wider fenders.

As far as coilovers, Fortune Autos are pretty skinny since they use 60mm ID springs vs the 65mm standard (my Aragosta's are 65mm).

Just shoot me a message directly if you got a specific question.

Thanks. I'm running some 17x9 +25 bee*r b5s on the rear right now. Need to get my fenders rolled so I can go lower but it'll be damn near flush when I do. Iirc I'm running 215/45's on them right now.

I was in the same boat as your for the s14 flca, i actually picked up a set. then i realized they were 15mm extension total front track, 7.5 each side.

Hey i was searching around and i found what i was looking for but not on the car i was looking for. Im looking for a s14 with a 18x11 -22 up front running about a 235/40 tire all on stock metal fenders, has anyone see anything like this on a 14? please show me =) thanks guys.

Not the thread to be asking this. Please find and search for the Picture Request thread or use Google.

Considering you can't fit that in the rear of an S14 without lots of pulling and camber, sure as hell wont fit up front if you plan on turning the wheels. Thats even before you figure out how to fit it under the fender since it'll poke out atleast 2 inches past the fender.

does anybody know the specs for the wheels on this car

oh ok, cool. thanks

Couldnt really find the answer I am looking for so Im wondering if anyone knows how much camber I will need out back on my s13 coupe to fit 17x9.5 +12 wheels with 245/40s on them? My fenders are rolled but not pulled. If its going to be too much camber I just wont run them, i hate pulled fenders

Kick the tires down to 225/45-17 so you wont have to worry about putting camber or pulling the fenders.

I have vskfs they are 18x9.5+2 front and 18x10.5 +1 rear ive got 235 40 for the rear not sure what size front i should go with 215 or 225?

I'd go with 215s. My wheels are the same size as yours and i have 225/40s in the front and I'm switching. I'm pretty low and it rubs at full lock.

Either one, all a matter of personal preference. Here's mine for a reference. 18x9.5 -1 effective (+14 with 15mm spacer to clear brakes since they're O-disk) with 225/40-18s up front and 18x10.5 +1 O-disk 235/40-18 rears.






Didnt rubbed at full lock since I wasnt super low up front. Would probably have rubbed if I went down a few more inches, but nothing a big ass hammer wouldnt have fixed.

[Kuma]

I've been looking at wheels and I am lost.

I've got 2 choices that I THINK might work.

16x10 -0 (all around)

OR

17x9 -12 (all around)

Which ones would fit better on an s14? I know negative offest is going to poke them out... But I'm having hell trying to find what either offset look like (since one is 9" wide and the other is 10". Depending on poke, I plan on running over fenders (probably the origin 50mm rear, 20mm fronts)

Will they fit without trouble? anyone have experience with either offset?

[revat619]

1. Go with the 17s. You'll get tired of the 16s REAL quick.

2. You don't need 50mm rear overs with those sizes. Completely overkill. Depending on tire size and ride height, just dial in some negative camber and you're good.

Rule of thumb: Get the wheels and tires first. If they don't fit with your desired camber settings, THEN get over fenders. Don't just go hacking up your car for no reason.

Was definitely not going to get the fenders until I saw how much poke I'd have. I was leaning towards the 17"s, but the negative offset made me consider the 16's. Thanks a ton!

I'm fairly low, nothing crazy because our roads suck. Currently with CV meshies. Which I like them, but I'm going to need wider wheels after my swap is complete.

[fliprayzin240sx]

^^^Easiest way to figure for your situation. Google search wheel offset calculators. Punch in the wheels you have now then punch in either one of those wheels. It'll tell you how many mm itll be sticking out further than what you have now. Then go to your car and measure it out to get an idea first hard.

I tried using those, but it kept changing my numbers I'd input (I'd input 17x9 -12 225/45, then by the time I'd calculate it would change itself to 17x9 -15 245/45) . Then I went searching through the fitment whore threads for 2 days and realized some people posting their specs were either ass backwards or running spacers and not mentioning that. So I finally broke down and asked.

[fliprayzin240sx]

This what i use...

1010TIRES.COM - Wheel Offset Calculator

As far as the 2 wheels you're thinking off (9j -12 and 10j +0), they're gonna poke about the same with 1mm difference between the 2. Basically itll come down to your preference. What's your current wheel spec and I can tell you via above to see the difference.

Personally, I wouldn't go with either one cuz they poke out too much.

I'm running 16x7 +6 currently. less than 2mm camber all around and wheels are even with fender up front, and sucked in approx 5mm from rear fenders. (I don't know the best way to measure)

From the calculator it said:
16x10 +0 will be 32mm less clearance inner and poke out 44mm

17x9 -12 7mm less clearance inner and poke out 43mm more than current set up.


I don't mind cambering the front, but I want traction in the rear for daily (235's or 245's with little camber). I can throw my 16x7's on when I drift.

Thanks for helping me figure this out.

Question: Who has front wheel fitment where the tire comes right out to the fender and is totally flush?

It seems like generally on front wheel setups, the front tire is a little more sunk than the rear. For those who are flush at the front as well, how does it drive? Does it ever rub when you're turning and going over a dip?

[sfg20t]

Going to be running chargespeed 50mm overfenders in rear and 30mm over fenders in the front on my s14. looking for minimal camber not more than -2/3 degrees in the rear. thinking of 18x9 0 in front and 18x10.5 -25 in the rear...too agressive for the camber spec i want? not very good with fitment...i rely on my wheel guru friend who's out of town.

My car drives just fine. It rubs a tad at full lock but when i switch to 215/40s that will go away for the most part. Every totally flush set up will rub a little under hard cornering though. Just the nature of the beast.

It's not too aggressive. You won't need that much camber in the rear with 50mm overs. BUT, 18x9 0 offset with 30mm overs is gonna be sunk.

Thanks, how much negative offset would you suggest for the front? my friend said either 0 or -3, but you make it sound like i'll need a lot more.

nvm the dudes up here clarified the specs

[240ND]

I've been looking for a couple hours now and haven't been able to come up with much.
I haven't really looked too much into wheel offsets so please don't hate too much, but there is a guy local selling a set of 17x9 +17 offset and I'm running the maverick dual rear caliper setup which acts as a 8mm spacer. I have 225/45/17 tires for them as well. Would I need to roll and/or pull my rear quarters? I'm okay with rolling, but I don't want to pull them. I'm debating just ordering new wheels with a higher offset, but if these would work I'll go with them.
Sorry for the paragraph and I'd appreciate the help!
