Wheel Fitment Question Thread

[eastonh477]

help!!! can a stock body fit 18x10 +14 front and 18x11 +14 rear?? thanks in advanced

[JonathanPrem]

^ On what?

If S14 yea you can.Front you might get a way with Roll and slight pull and for the rear you will probably need decent pull. It all depends on the ride height and tire size you want on the rims.

[eastonh477]

oh yea its an s13 hatch. tyanks

S13 with stock metal, no. Unless you run tubs up front and overs in the rear.

11" is already wide. And then an offset like that? I doubt it will fit. Unless you like running oni negative camber or cut your fenders or pull them to lasagna or run tires that are non-existent on the wheel.

Guys! help me and my S14 PLEASE!

Will XXR 521 18X10 +25 with Megan Tracks fit the rear without spacers nor RUCA?

Also XXR 521 18X8.5 +25 with Megan Tracks fit the front without any spacers?

[Ilya]

I am curious about the amount of work needed to fit the Varrstoen 2.2.0 17x9 +22 all around on an s13 with coil overs and and a 245 or 255 tire all around. Thank you all

I might be really slow but I was thinking -40? If I run an 18x11 out back it may sit a little more flat, but again I am still lost on the offset. Help me, I'm still an offset noob.

On what car? S13 or S14? -40? You running wide fenders then slapping flares on top of that? If S13, kiss 18x10 up front goodbye, unless you dont like turning or you tub the wheel well. If S14, 18x10, anywhere between +0 to +15, lower offset, you'd need more camber. Rears, I'd go +10 to +20. Higher offset if you want fat tires, mount them first on the car, make sure your alignment is set, then mount the fenders to FIT the wheels.

Rears, no spacers needed. Front, you should be good, maybe 5 mm if something is tweaked.

Roll for sure, pull depending on camber.

255 with 17x9 +22 upfront wont be too much?

Nope...I know I got 17x9 +22 wheels with 255/40s somewhere, just gotta find it. I got a set of those sizing that were my track wheels after I sold these RPF1s but kept the tires.
But here's a 17x10 +18 with 255/40-17 NT01s for reference.

S13..Everything is mounted already to the body(all overfenders) and original fenders under the overs have been cut to accommodate bigger/wider wheels. I'm going to need to pull the wheels again to check the offset. I'm running an 11.5 inch wheel in the back right now and pretty sure a 9.5 up front. Thanks for the advice, ill get back in here when I can get off work to go jack the car up and pull the wheels.

Stretching a 285/35/18 on the back

[slow92]

Will 18x10 +22 wheels with a 275 or 265 fit on the rear of an s13 with stock metal fenders? The car is lowered on eibach sportlines so only a 2.2inch in the rear. Def don't want to stretch a tire and these will be used on the street when I am not running my drag radial setup on my weld wheels.

I guess thanks for nothing. I searched and not only this forum but also the net and could not find an answer. I still do not understand why wouldn't we all want to help each other. With the extensive lengthy reply you wrote, you probably could have answered my question. Continue on being a douche.

Did I miss why you're crying? Not sure if somebody blasted you and then deleted their post but I hope you're not crying a river cuz nobody answered your question after 1 fucking day...

That shit better not be pointed at me too since I've done nothing but help people in this fucking thread. If it is, Go Fuck Yourself San Diego...

[fliprayzin240sx]

Just to make sure that you're not butthurt because God fucking forbid I missed a post from you, I doubled back last 3 pages to see double check. Yup, I'm right, Go fuck yourself...

[slow92]

Flipsprayin that post wasn't intended for you. There was someone else that posted and then deleted their post after I put in my reply. I hope no one in here takes offense to my post except for the person that I was responding to. Based on the fact that they deleted their post I am assuming I made my point. But if you want to be a dick then I guess it would apply to you and you can fuck yourself. I don't understand why everyone gets so carried away. I ask for help and everyone flips there shit. I just don get it. Whatever......

[fliprayzin240sx]

Good...to answer your question, go buy overs. Itll stick out further pass the fenders and assuming how you're going for grip, you dont want camber. Or you could try to man handle the rear fenders pulling it, you're high enough that the tire still shouldnt touch the fenders. Itll look like poop since its sticking out, thats why I say overfenders.

Ok, so kind of a wheel fitment related question.

With just coilovers, how much - front camber should I be able to get with the plate maxed out? No slotting of the holes at all yet or any aftermarket arms. Don't worry they'll come eventually, but I'm just wondering without them what kinda camber I should be able to get right now. I assume I won't be able to get too much - camber right?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: This is for S14.

From what I remember, most brands without the pre-cut slot will get you about 3-3.5*. Not 100%

Hey experts, my car is a 98' 240sx. have been searching for quite a while, but still very confused about offset and fitment. Please bear with my ignorance for my following questions:

Trying to get: 18X9 (offset options:22, 35, 45) with 235/40 front, 18X10 (offset option:27, 42) with 265/35 rear. Coilover: either Apexi N1 EXV or Stance SS+ (maybe SSD version). Planning to go low (but not slamming or kill oil pan right away). All stock body. It will be weekday DD, weekend spirited/occasional track use.

Question 1: Which offset option for rear and front wheels could be the best? Should I choose minimum offset I can get as some said in previous thread, or there is other considerations? I am running with stock caliper, will go big later after engine mods. Looking at fitment whore thread here, lots of guys chose <20 offset or negative where I see other whore threads got average of 30+. Hope will not get too much fender pull, maybe a little roll is fine.

Question 2: Am I really required for any alignment kit? Some suggested RUCA. Just want to reconfirm if it is really required for now?

thanks a lot in advance.

[Acebankai]

Hey all. I currently have a S13 hatch and i brought some MEGAN racing coilovers and some Square G6 17x9s with a 15mm offset. Both have yet to be put on the car and i want to know if anybody else has the same set up and what size tires did you get along with any spacers if needed. thanks in advance

Fronts: 18x9 +22 since you want 235/40-18 tires.
Rears: 18x10 +27 since you want wide tires.

If you plan on going low and try to tuck some tire, you'd need atleast RUCA, tension rods. Also, offset has nothing to do with brake clearance. Unless you're buying some name brand wheel that has multiple style faces, you wont really know unless you know somebody who put them on with big brakes.

Dont need spacers...

[jlmillionaire]

Hi all, I'm looking into buying this pair of work xsa 02c ,I have a S14 the specs on the rims are 18x9+30 offset. I'm a noob about the offset and fitments.... I would like to know what kind.of problems I'm going to run into and should I install them on the rear or front .also what tires will I need for good fitment. Thanks please keep the negative comments to yourselves

[fliprayzin240sx]

Depending on your suspension, front probably wont clear coilovers without spacers.

[jlmillionaire]

good look flip you always have the knowledge buddy!!! i have cusco coils so i should rock this set in the rear? and with that offset will they sit flush or stick out pass the stock fenders? and what tires should i get

[240sxMac]

Just wondering if I'll need to invest in overfenders for my s13 fastback.

I'm investing in 18x10 +12 offset all around ROTA GTR-D's
coils I'm looking into Fortune Auto 500's or 326 power coils.
but I'd love to get this stance.



if I don't have to get overfenders and save me some money. I'd rather do a roll and pull.

thanks for the advice

You can get the look with stock s13. You will need a good amount of pull in the front and maybe 215/40 or 225/35 in the front to have least amount of rubbing.

For the rear- Pull is needed but not as mush as the front. Probably 235/35 or 225/35 will be good.

Edit: This is for S14.

Depending on coils but my HSD coils had about -4 to-5 ish.

so If I bought 20mm overfenders in the front I should be good?

If you have the funds yes. You can run matching camber front and back. If not you can still pull the front fender and run it but you will have more camber up front then rear. Like the pic you posted.

[jlmillionaire]

Also I found a set of rims 18x9+33 should I put those in the rear or the +30 off set and what tire sizes and spacers do I need .thanks all

[JonathanPrem]

^
S13 or s14

Run +33 in the front and +30 in the rear. You will need 10-15mm to clear coils in the front. Tires depend on your style. Stretched or proper tire?
