I couldn't find the offset
17 x 8.5(front) / 235/45/17
17 x 9.5(rear) / 275/40/17

what wheels are these?

They're good but not the best.

my friend is running the 315/30-18 R888's on his 850WHP supra and still spins in 3rd gear.

2muchboost · 02-06-2013, 07:45 AM

Yeah for anything in that HP range (850whp) the only thing that will keep that car planted would be a Bias Ply or maybe a Drag Radial.

Flick....check out the Federal 595RS-R....I have read through some forums that they are the best bang for the buck R-Compound tires when comparing the cost to performance.

So I am pretty set on trying to get something like a 255/50/17 and 275/40/17 tire and was looking at the Federal 595's. I know they run bigger than whats marked on the tire so should I be looking to run a 245/40/17 and 265/40/17? Not sure how close in size the Federal tires are to the actual tire size I am looking to run. Hope this makes sense.

Does anyone have the width measurement for 215/35/19 federal 595 ss compared with other tires that run true size?
ive looked at a couple of feds 215/35/19 on 9.5" but they don't seem to run wider..

wrong thread.

Bnr32gtr · 02-15-2013, 05:45 AM

Ok I need some help i looked threw over 60 pages the last 2 day and it just got me all mixed up I have 97 s14 cusco coil overs circuit sport rlca and isis arm kit wheels are 18x10+25 all around what is the most meat I can get under front and rear I can use a buddy's east wood so a roll is no big deal but I do not want to pull I would be ok with a sight pull nothing crazy I like my cars low no 4x4 the front I would be ok with a finger gap between tire in finder the rear I would like to tuck 1/8 of tire I was thinking some thing like 265/35/18r and 245/40/18f also I don't want to rub and I don't have front tubs thanks

Bnr32gtr · 02-15-2013, 06:00 AM

Also how much spacer do I need front n rear I think 3mm for the rear not shore on the front also the car has z32 brakes and would 255/35/18 work all around? Thanks for the help all the car needs is tires it's going to be my dd also thanks

jr_ss · 02-15-2013, 07:01 AM

You don't need any spacers in the rear. 265 is probably the most you can get in the rear. This isn't exactly the right thread for you to be asking this question. We arent about low cars stretching tires on wheels to tuck.

Bnr32gtr · 02-15-2013, 08:14 AM

Thanks for the input I'm not want to stretch a 225/40 on there so I thought this would be the spot to post do u think i would have to pull to fit the 265/35/18r also what do u think the widest I could go on the front with out rubbing or crazy pull I'm ok with a sight pull if need be thanks angin for the help I want to get this thing on the road

2muchboost · 02-15-2013, 01:53 PM

Anyone have any pix of a 265/40 tire on a 17x9.5 wheel they can share? I have been googling it but wondering if anyone has something that's not available on google.

Tx

jr_ss · 02-15-2013, 05:20 PM

Too tall...

2muchboost · 02-15-2013, 06:49 PM

Please elaborate....I have seen guys running 275/40. Again, I am it looking for a stretched look since this setup will need all of the grip that I can get going Ina straight line. No drifting for me

Needs a small spacer out back to stop the inner sidewall from rubbing the fender well and the front wells needed a little hammer time to get rid of rub. The springs are much too soft so I'll be upping the spring rates over the winter and stiffening the chassis more to cope (I'm starting to tear spot welds in the front of the car).

More details on your setup?

Offset front and rear?

What width wheels?

Te37 · 02-16-2013, 10:26 PM

Okay here is my setup on my s14 (rolled and pulled accordingly):
Front- 18x9.5+12 w/ 225/40 and -1.6 camber
Rear- 18x10.5+15 w/ 255/35 and -1.5 camber
I personally think that 18s are too big for my taste and I am pretty much maxed out on tire. So I am wanting to move to 17s, is there a reason why not a lot of people run 17s? Would 17x9 + 22 front and 17x9.5 + 20ish rear be adequate to run square tires?

KA240SX808 · 02-16-2013, 11:03 PM

That should be plenty.
A square setup on that should be somewhere in the 245/255 stagger realm.
Front you may run into coilover clearance issues.
Rear should fit no problem.

jr_ss · 02-16-2013, 11:37 PM

Te- the only reason you are maxed out on tire is because of the offsets you chose. You could easily run 255's up front on a +20 wheel on an S14.

KA240SX808 · 02-16-2013, 11:48 PM

+1
You wanna use as much clearance as you can on the inside so you know your using all the space under there for that tire.
That 9.5 should be taking a 255 for being square and like jr_ss said with a +20 offset and more camber you can fit a wider tire. -1.6* isn't enough in the front IMO

2muchboost · 02-17-2013, 08:48 AM

@Seraphim.....thanks buddy

JDM SPUG · 02-17-2013, 01:55 PM
