Front is not tubbed. I was going to, ( still am) BUT it is not needed for some reason. I hammered them in a little and I can make full lock turns it is a tight fit. And I am going to tubb them when I pull the motor out. But as of now it's okay.

And thanks! I'll look on YouTube.

Am I able to get away without pulling my S13 rear fenders with 18x10 -17 with S14 rear subframe and adjustable arms? I'm pretty sure I will have to pull it which I don't mind, as long as it's just a slight pull.

anybody know if enkei rpf1's 17x9.5 +18 clear 300zx front calipers?

Slight pull...no.

RPF1s will clear anything and everything you throw at it brakes wise.

S13 hatch with 30mm front overs, and 50mm tatakidashi rear overs.
Front wheels are 18x11 -4 Rear wheels are 18x12 -17
Front and back are R disk. Will I have to run a lot of camber, front and rear? If so, I may just sell these wheels. I'm not a huge fan, of major camber, even if it's not my daily driver.

Yes, lots and lots of camber and massively stretched tires front and rear.

For reference:
18x10 +12 in the front with 20mm front fenders and 225 tires has about -1.5 degrees of camber
18x12 -8 in the rear with a 275 tire had about -7.5 degrees of camber to fit with those fenders

If you get adjustable RLCA and tuck it in then it'll fit much better.

Jeez, that does sound like I'm going to have to run a lot of camber. I do have adjustable rlca. Still, I might just have to sell these wheels.

I need some help. Im planning on ordering some ccw lm5 in the specs i want, i want to run around 5* to 6* camber all the way around, the car will be pretty low, im not sure exactly how much but ill say about 3 inches all the way around, i was planning on ordering 17x9.5 0 and 17x10 +6. ive tried searching all over for a 17x9.5 0 in front but i have had no luck seeing a slammed car with those specs. my fenders will only be pinched/rolled, no pull

This sounds wrong -7.5? I'm running 18x12.5 with -22 and I'm no where near that kind of camber. I can't even run more then 2 with the rim not hitting the inside of the car.

Yeah you shouldn't need that much camber with a 50mm over. I mean i know S13s aren't as wide as S14s in the rear, but that sounds way off.

On what car? S13 or S14? Chassis makes a big difference since S14s are wider than S13s. On S14, those are cake. On S13s, you'll probably need to pull the fenders some depending on the tire width.

My best advice to you is look around rim tuck and find the closest width/offset setup you can find in there to what you want. Look at the pictures and get an idea how much space they have under the fenders. Jump into the wheel offset calculator and punch in their specs and compare to yours, you should get a rough idea how they'll fit based on those numbers.

Okay I have a question for you fitment guys, I want to pick up some Varrstoen TE37 reps for my S14. It will be a kouki front end by the time I get the wheels if that makes a difference I am currently running PBM FLA,RUCA,Toe,and traction rods for adjustability with Fortune auto 500 coils. I am not looking to pull the fenders very much and if possible just roll the lips. I am looking to get 17x9 +12mm in the front and 17x9.5 +12mm in the rears with 235/40/17 tires(with very close to stock camber settings). Would this work? I figured worse case is I could get +22 front and rear and just use spacers to get them close to the fenders but would rather not use spacers.

let me know your thoughts

Thanks!

With a 235 on a 9" +12 offset wheel, rolled lip only, and very close to stock camber, if you want those settings, you can't go very low up front. It can fit though.

Well If I get a pull front and rear it could go pretty low right? like tucking tire maybe tuck rim?

This is how my car currently sets with 17x7.5 +30 front and 17x8 +33 rear on 235/40-17 tires. With the new wheels I will go a little lower so I am tucking tire maybe one day I will be close to tucking rim lol.

Hi I'm going to be fitting a Rocket Bunny kit on my s14 and I'm wondering what wheel size would fill the fenders nicely. Basically I'll be at this ride height:

Why cant he go very low up front? There's enough of us running more aggressive wheels up front and low with barely any front fender work. Besides, if you roll the front fenders, you're already pretty much pulling it too since its so thin. You flatten it with the roller and you probably gained 20mm on it.

All depends on your preference. Personally, I prefer 18s, seems to fill the bigger S14 wheel arches better. Up to your preference if you want wide meaty tires or stretched/more aggressive fitment/more poke look. If I want to go wide, I'd go 17x9.5 +18 to +12 with 255/40-17s. If stretched, something similar to what I'm running now. 18x10 +12 225/40-18s and 18x10.5 +12 235/40-18s.

Yeah I definitely want to go wide! The fatter the tires the better

Will 16x7 +25 wheels clear pbm coulovers on s13? Sorry for noob question

Yes, shouldn't' have any problems, unless you run like a 245 or some stupid wide tire. Even then it should be fine.

[killakees]

i just bought some XXR 526's 17x10 4-100/4-114.3 +20mm and i have a 1991 s13 hatch i just wasnt sure if the front would past my coilovers do i need spacers? and overfenders? i heard the rear will fit with camber but front needs work any opinions?

[I'm Redline]

OK, I bought a 95 to use the parts to rebuild my 96 zenki. It came with a set of ICW clones of Gram Light's G-Games in 7x7.5 +42. OE SE's are 6.5 x 16 +40 and sit battle sunk on a normal car.
What size spacers will I need for the front and back to fit these +42's out to the fender lip?
I came here to ask because I *think* 20mm in back and 15mm in front MIGHT work, but n order to buy once and cry not, I defer to the expertise herein. The reason I am using these wheels is they have brand new tires on them and they also have <100 miles on them. They will get me the 4,000 miles while I save up for my Gram Lights and wider tires

Put them on, get a ruler and measure how far the rim is from the fender or to where you want them to sit. Not exactly rocket science.

well, I care about care about rubbing and full use of my turning radius.

Looks like ass to me.

what size were the rims in this picture? i wanna say theyre 17inch but i looked em up on xxr's site and they only have 4 lugs for 15 -16... Are these 16"s?? Please reply

[vJilly]

would 17x9 +30 on an s14 clear coilovers and fit fine etc etc

it will not clear the front, you need like +18

[waxball88]

Hey guys tried googling/search real quick but couldnt find the answer i was looking for but i know this has to have been answered countless times.
I'm going 5 lug and getting a set of 5zigen GN+, my current wheels are 17x9+12, the 5zigens are 17x9.5 +12.
My question is do i need a 10mm(or what size?) spacer in the front to clear my megan coils on my S13? I have 20mm overs up front.

EDIT: I crunched the numbers, if im correct, the wheel should be 6.35mm closer to the coil.
a 9j with +12 offset has 126.3mm behind the hub
a 9.5j +12 has 132.65mm behind the hub
(132.65-126.3) = 6.35mm spacer to have the "same offset/wheel position"

so if i wanted to fit 17x9 +30 battles id need spacers?

[fliprayzin240sx]

Depending on what coils, you may or may not need spacers. At most, 5mm will be more than enough to clear most setup. Google search R33 GTR wheels on S14s to get an idea of how they'd look since those rims are that sizing/spec.
