ive ran a 225/40 on 11.5 as it was all i had laying around at home on the day and needed to drive to the workshop

shit fell off first slide i did...

ayuaddict · 03-10-2008, 05:06 PM

i was skeptical at first but ive been running a 225/45 on a 10.5j at -4.5 camber for like 6 months (been going through different tires but kept the same size). and they have been just fine.

Eh I don't really care about any kind of performance, my 240 will never be a track car, it makes me happy how it is.

*kingkilburn* · 03-10-2008, 05:12 PM

Well +1 for that. To many people ask what the SHOULD do to their cars instead of what makes them happy.

Sounds like you should get an alignment.

Have you checked your toe?

my car is actually somewhat aligned.

well, the camber is maxed outwards on stock RUCAs, which comes out to about -4.5 degrees. toe is at 0.

e30cabrio · 03-11-2008, 01:13 AM

People always say that toe is the real tire killer. I figure with that much camber though, your are getting fairly bad tire life right?

ayuaddict · 03-11-2008, 01:25 AM

with toe at 0 my tires are just fine.

PRVOKE · 03-11-2008, 02:46 AM

17x10 +17 --25mm spacer
235/45

SoSideways · 03-11-2008, 08:29 AM

Let chatter and less hate for stretched tires for wheel fitment please.

If you want to bitch at stretched tires, do it via PMs or don't type at all.

If you want to bitch about toe settings or camber killing tires, please do it over PM or don't type at all.

If you want to ask what kit Johny5 has on his S14, please do it via the "Identify this" thread.

Honestly, these topics didn't just get created last night, they've been here for MONTHS as stickies at the top, and unless all you idiots failed 2nd grade reading comprehension, I'm pretty sure the thread titles are pretty self explanatory.

The "wheel fitment thread" is exactly that, for wheel fitments, not for you to bitch about people's stretches and shit. If you don't have anything constructive to add, please reevaluate your post before you hit that post button.

ROIDMONKEY · 03-11-2008, 09:09 AM

hmmmm guess u stretch too

, r we in cuba?

you can get somewhat even wear if you swap your tires over. (swap left over to right, vise versa.)

No. It'll hit the coilovers without a spacer.

i figuered!! you think a 5mm would clear it

1985zcar · 03-12-2008, 06:52 AM

It should. I've got 18x10 +20 up front with a 15mm spacer, and it looks like I've got about 10ish mm up front to play with. Either a 5 or 8mm spacer should clear it fine.

s14gj · 03-12-2008, 06:42 PM

put my new back wheels on today

18x10.5 +17 offset with a 5mm spacer
235x40x18 tires

not on an s13.

Ninjabread · 03-12-2008, 09:05 PM

18x9 +17.

225-40-18

Stock fender

Camber : unknown, but slotted holes on bottom bracket maxed outwards (positive), camber plates maxed inwards (negative). I'll fix that later on to get a bit more camber

Garage Sokudo · 03-12-2008, 09:58 PM

Chucked on my rear pair of 18x10 +24 SSR Vienna's on the front to see if they would fit, surprisingly they did.
They sit a little Mexican but with not that much camber. I think with a smaller tire (keep in mind they are 245 on a 10")(225/40/18? 235/40/18?), camber, guard work and a little lower they should sit fine. I tested it lock to lock and no rubbing (obviously will be a lot different once driving).
Here are the photos:

xxchurroxx · 03-13-2008, 06:02 PM

FRONT: 17x9 +0 235/40/17; st115s; -3.2/5 camber; roll/crappy 30mm pull that shouldn't have been attempted
REAR: 18x10.5 +15 245/40/18; st115s; -2.7 camber; roll/slight pull
