How about my rear tires? 235/40 seems ideal from what I seen people running similar sizing. Any ideas? I need some assurance before I buy tires.

I have 215 45s up front and I hate it I shoulda got 40s and it depends what brand tire my 215 nankangs are barly streched on a 9 but my 215 falkens you can tell are very streched, the guy that mounted them needed starter fluid and a lighter to mount them cause he didn't have a bead cheata

I just want a square setup, that will 100% work. I tend to keep wheels a LONG time, so I'm not worried about selling them. I also dont mind running spacers if needed.

Are you talking about a S13 or S14?

Either way with -2º of camber and 245s a 9.5 +15 will poke quite a bit. An S14 will have significantly more room over a S13.

If its a S14 get the 9.5 +15 and just know its going to look a little bit goofy not super low....it wont be too bad though.

If its a S13 consider getting 9" wide wheels and running 245s on those. A 9 +15 set up all around will fit really well on a S13 with just rolled fenders....you'll need to pull your rear fenders though, with a square tire you'll rub unless you have 2" of wheel gap all around.


If you have to you could get higher offsets and ARP extended studs and get the PSM 3, 5, and 7mm slip on spacers to fine tune how it fits.

Ok, I need help fitting this setup on my s14. The wheels specs are 17x9.5 +12 and the tire size I will be getting are 225/40. My front fenders are rolled my rears are rolled with a slight pull. How much camber should I be rocking front and back. Thanks for any input.

[Lukasss]

It all depends on how low youre going to be

If you plan on running 225/40 you have limited options for tires and they are not cheep
I suggest some 215/40 or 45 front and 235/40 rear with -2* camber rear and 2.5*
front thats what i had on my battles

hmm yea it was odd that when I called a few places they didnt have that tire size there is a local tire shop with the 225/40's but im thinking I should just do the same setup you had with your battles, I mean the only difference is what a +2 offset difference. did you have to run a spacer, because of the rim hitting the coils or no? or did you run any spacers at all with your battles?

will this fit without any problems 17x9.75 +25 on a stock s13 any tire size i should stay away from?

[quantum-kid]

not to sure if this has been covered or not but ive searched like 100+ pages of the stretch thread to no luck. i have a zenki 14 with factory fenders with no modifications done to them at all not even hammered/flattened the inner lip. i just picked up some ssr gartmaiers that are 18x9j all around +32 and 0 offset i have a 15mm hubcentric spacer which will effectively bring my +32 offset to a +17. i have z32 iron 30mm front brakes and factory rears. no aftermarket arms kyb struts and springs with a coilover sleeve. the coilover sleeve is no where close to maxed out and this is how it sits on 350z track ver. 1 F 18x8j +30 R 18x8.5j +33 for a reference



will i need to modify my fender in any way other than hammering the lip for these to fit? sorry for the noooooob question but thats why i posted in this thread rather than any other and thanks for any advice/comments

few shots of the new wheels

[Doobr]

What size tires would I need to fit battles like this on an s14?

[zooopreme]

^0/40/18 all around.

Kidding. Probably stretching a 205/35 up front & 215/40 in the back.

[quantum-kid]

anyone?

Are you on coils? Your gonna need a spacer if you do most likely a 10 or 15mm depends how much you wanna work the fenders. As for tire size its hard to say cuz you ride height is uncertain. More info on your car is needed.

[soryu]

i'm going 16x8.75 no prob there?
oem set up.

[xXKoukiXx]

i wanna get some work vs-xx's for my s14 but they're 18x9 +38 255/40 and 18x10 + 45 265/40. I have z32 front brakes. is it ok to run 20mm spacers all around?

[frsh4]

Your still gonna need spacers seeing that you have XXR sportmaxs or whatever there called. Tire size since your on stock suspension just go with any 50 series tire.215/50 is good.

Depending on the disk you might need a bigger spacers but try the 20mm and i assume your slammed and the tire size should be smaller. Looks like your shooting for a max rubber not stretch. Go with 235/40 245/40 with a nice pull.

[soryu]

^^typo they are 16x8.25 not .75
0 offset


so 215/50 or can i go 215 /45
stock height
s13

its an s14, rolled F/R and I think the rear is stretched a little as well. I'm not going to be low, so yea, it will probably look goofy. So what about +30's? I'm worried about them rubbing the coilovers and what not.

but with a 255/40/18 thats the smallest diameter tire at 25" so I'm thinking I'll be "ok" as far as height.

[h2v7]

thanks this thread is awesomes

[RyanS13]

I was going to pick up some 17x9.75 +25 wheels up pretty soon and put um on my s13. I know I'll have to run a 5mm or 10mm spacer up front to clear the coils.

And I was going to run a 215/40/17 or a 225/35/17.

I want to run as least camber as possible, and I don't really want to pull the fenders.

Would they fit flush? I don't want them poking.

[Koukisteve29]

Have a question. I'm looking into buying a set XXR 962's, 17x9 +35. Will they fit an s13 hatch with a 5mm spacer in the front? I have KYB struts up front as well.

You'll have to run the +15 to clear your coilovers up front, so you might as well run it all around, haha.

[RyanS13]

Getting different wheels, and I might need a slight pull in the back, and I mean very slight.

I dug up this picture of the car from a long long time ago, and I'm not sure if it is actually bondo, or its just spots that where sanded lower. If you look you could see the white starts just in front of the wheel well.


Im wondering if this is anything to worry about, if its far enough away from the area that will be pulled that it won't even make a difference, and if it is bondo if there's any way to keep it from cracking and coming off.

Thanks.

[da_crew10]

Ok guys would anybody know what size spacer I need to use if I run 50mm rear over fenders when the rear wheels are 18x10+22 ?

Btw I'll be running a 225/40 size tire don't know which brand yet.

[yomisiu]

buying some wheels for le zenki s14 today

wondering if i'll have any issues running these

17x9 +10 with 215/40's
17x10 +17 with 235/40's

stock fender zenki s14 that will be on fortune auto 500's. stock everything else, besides RUCA.

i wont be able to try and see until i go 5 lug lol

[SupaDoopa]

Stock fenders, stock bodied S13 hatch. I have PBM RUCA, toe, traction, Function and Form Type II coilovers. Looking to put on:

Work VS-KF's
18x9.5 +14
18x11 +0

If my math serves me and a friend who helped correctly, I can get away with some camber and a fender pull or 30mm overs in the back. Now, I'm wondering if I want to stay stock bodied and want to go to the pull route, how much of a pull will I need with a combination of how much camber? I have plenty of bolt on/slip on spacers to my disposal from other builds so I'm not concerned if I need to go that route. I do in fact run Z32 brakes all the way around as well. Let me know what the best route to go would be. Any and all input is appreciated.
