I just want to make sure I can clear the coilovers and not lose any of my steering capability.

Also, do I need to use a space with this wheel?

^For the set up that Knoop provided, you don't need spacers.

[95KA-Turbo]

You will need to beat out your front fender wells to not rub at full lock, but that isn't a big deal. You'll also need to relocate your fender harnesses, there are lots of write ups for that online. Both of those modifications are standard for lowering a S-chassis with wide wheels and tires.

hey whats up guys
i am finally trying to get out the 15's guys and upgrade with some biggers wheels. This is my first time putting bigger wheels and trying to get the "FITMENT" atleast somewhat right . nothing fancy. I have my eyes on some wheels and my question is! how would 18x9.5 offset-4 all around come about on a stock bodied s13 with stock silvia fenders up front. I have fully adjustable suspension . rucas , toe etc etc. trying to be low. but not stupid dumped.
any output would help guys
thanks

Stretch tire + camber + rolled/ big pull fender
215/40 would work maybe like 3* or a tad more depending on how much you pull the fender.

Hey guys I got a questions

I have MB Battle 18x9.5 +23 225/40 in front and 18x9.5 +15 235/40 in rear... suspension spec JIC FLT-A1US Coilovers, battle version full rear suspenion and front Adjustable Tension Control Rods

here my problem is that front wheel hit on coilovers so small and rubber hit on wheels house.

i don't know what is my camber/caster/camber plate/toe number specs but this wednesday i will do alignment but i need help with the alignment specs. Give me some advice guys and i want to set up easily in a turn with no fight. thanks

Roll your fenders flat and get a small spacer to clear coils.

Done.



*thats the best answer I can give based on your lack of using the english language

What size should i get spacer?

sorry deaf lack english

[Wake]

That explains it.
Depends on how much you are rubbing, but it sounds like you dont need much more than a 3-5mm spacer. Figure out how much space you have before you hit your fender and add a spacer slightly smaller than that.

[draheim240]

18x10 all around +25 offset. xxr 521's.

will they fit/ clear brembo's up front with a 25mm spacer? and will i be able to utilize a good size turning radius still?

i have fortune auto coilovers.

thanks.

[victorw210]

For what car? & 10" wheels will not give you good turning radius unless you get tubs.

A 10 mm spacer will do.

They clear z32 brakes with +15 spacer, +25 they should clear. Will you have a good turning radius? Probably not. Lots of camber and tubs or banged out wheel wells will help.

How would 18x9 +28 wheels sit on stock s14 front fenders and 30mm rear overfenders? What size spacer would be needed for front and rear to get a good look?

[silviaguy240]

like at least 15mm front and 50mm rear

[fullthrottle]

DAMN!!!! thats a big spacer in the rear. Is that even safe lol

[Wake]

why such high offset and widebody?

[jiggysnitz]

Its the same as running a super low offset wheel. You hub doesn't know if its a spacer or not.

[Wake]

Except super low offsets generally make up for it with a wider wheel.

[bentmode360]

how many of you are drooping the rear? and is it safe? because im maxed out in the rear and i really want the tucked look.

On what chassis? I'm running 18x10 +22 with 20mm spacers, effectively +2, just banged where it used to touch and I'm good to go on my S14.

Only problem with spacers is you got another set of lugs that could get loose. I stopped running hub spacers for this reason. Shit would come loose and I'd have to take the wheels off and retighten them. Get extended studs and run thick slip ons.

Okay, ordered XXR 527s in 17x9.75 +25, on S13

Trying to figure out what tire sizes to run, okay with a light stretch, nothing insane

I was thinking 215/45/17 front & 225/45/17 but also think of going 40 series so I don't have to worry about rub. Any suggestions? Or pics of 9.75 527s on S13?

Also, I'm going to run 8mm spacer to clear the coils, KSports, in front
No spacer in rear

215/40 all around.

Do you know of anyone running 215/40 on 9.75" wide? Or pics?

215/40 on a 9.75" is about the most stretch that I would suggest for that size. It'll work but it's really pushing it.

Run some Federals in that size so that it'll be like a 225/40 if you don't want to run a monster stretch.

Yeah that's what I thought. I was leaning more towards 225/40s. I'm trying to find a picture of fitment though.

[zooopreme]

Well, here's ka24debt's 215/45 up front & 225/45 in the back:




Based on his more recent pics of his car in the Kouki thread, he may have switched to 215/40, not sure but either way, your car may look similar to that depending on how low you are.

[zooopreme]

Not sure if this will help you out but here. 205/40 up front & 225/40 in the rears. I think 225/40 would look pretty good for all around.

[roushman90]

Yeah, but 225/40s are hard to find
