Wheel Fitment Question Thread

[1Day]

Hey guys just slapped this thing on before I start doing some cutting for overs (18x12 -7 with a 265/35). Quick question, is it just me or are these suckers going to look dumb... or am I just not seeing the end result. I feel like they aren't going to flow at all with the skirt and bumper. I've seen a number of guys running this wide of a wheel on the rear with aero and there setups look great. Any help would be great!

[Mister.E]

what brand of tires are those? im also going to be running an 18x12 -7 setup and i like that stretch you have alot

[1Day]

They are the Kumho SPT... What are you going to be running them on bc I just don't see how these will work on S14 and look good. If I was to run the chargespeed overs would this help push my skirt and rear bumper out more?? Or does it look wierd to me bc the aero I'm running doesn't cut back out like the more aggressive kits do?

[taeisbeast]

I run a similar set up, well, on a s13. I'll try to find pics. I have 50mm overs, a lil bit of camber and a 265/35/18 and it looks damn good to me.

I have a few friends run a similar set up as well on a s14.

However, on a s13, i know if you wanting that flush look as well, 50mm may not be much with little to no camber as it will rub with a 265, but not a 255.

just my 2cents.

im going to be running them on my S14 with a version select type 1 kit and origin 20mm fronts and 50mm rears.

How will the fitment be?

[199240sxcoupe]

how big of a spacer will i have to run to clear coilovers? going to be running 17x10 +20 offset all around with 215 40 or 225 40 havent really decided on tire. or will i not have to run a spacer? im on fortune auto coils and stock arms.

[arj]

Weaksauce...least you wont have to touch the fenders.

[red240hatchnj]

i have a 93 240sx hatch, i wanted to know if i would need spacers to run these rims

there enkei cdr9 rims 17"s i dont have tire dimensions yet to guys gonna check in the morning but i dotn wanna trade then need to buy spacers also thats all

[zee_moua]

alright so im a honda guy originally and im new to this whole fitment scene. Ive got a Z with F&F type-II coils and im looking to get 19x9.5 in the front and 19x10.5 in the rears but im still unsure about what offset to get? i wanna get a +0 all the way around but then would a +12 with 25mm spacers be a better route to go? Im planning on being pretty low but not super dumped....

Im set on getting the 19x9.5/19x10.5 on this drop but im still unsure of what offset to really get.... this is a picture of the current stance that im at right now....

[s13 loverr]

I have had no luck trying to find the sizings of rims and tires for this car any help would be appreciated!

Im not sure, looks 18x9 +20ish 18x10 around the same, dont quote me on it though.

[InsTanCeZ]

Okay, so I think I've decided what sizes I want for S14 with 20mm front fenders and stock rears.

Work VS-XX
Front - 18x9.5 +7 (A-disk) 4" lip with 225/40R18
Rear - 18x10.5 +1 (O-disk) 5" lip with 235/40R18

What do you guys think? I was wondering if that would be able to clear z32 front brakes? What's better for Z32 front brakes, A-disk or R-disk, what about Z32 rears, O-disk good? How hard would it be to fit these offsets under the fenders? Also, if anyone can find pics of these offsets, or near them that would be awesome. I tried searching, but no luck.

I have stance coils and for 18x10 +25 and I had to run a 10mm spacer, it barely clears so if I was you I'd run at least 10mm.

[taran!]

How much of a roll and pull am i going to need to run a 18x10.5 +12 wheel, and only have about 2 degrees camber? this will be on the rear of a s13 hatch.

a pretty good one.

[dontxploitme]

i'm currently running 225/45/17s on my rear wheels (17x10) but i want to go lower. 225/40/17s are really difficult to find for some reason and that's what i would really want to run but my options are fairly limited. my question is would you guys stick with 225/45/17 and just modify the fender to go lower or go 235/40/17 and modify fender + camber? plan is to tuck on stock metal

i could also do 215/45/17?

[worr20]

I have a question on mounting tires using the fire trick. Did one the first time yesterday and went on first go. Second one just catches fire and won't do anything. Lol. Same tires, 225/45/18 on a 10". Is there a special technique or something I'm not doing that YouTube isn't showing me?

Hopefully your car is going back in for paint, you will need to modify your bumper and sideskirts slightly for them to fit on the overs. shouldn't be much but should be enough to fuck up the paint if you need to heat anything. As far as too much tire sticking out on the sides, if you wanted the tires to TUCK why get 12in wide wheels? 11's pushing it imo unless you get something that runs close as fuck to the brake's and coilover allowing you to have some retarded width number like 12 or 13.

Either way you still may even have to add camber with the chargespeeds and even more meat will stick out down below.

This is what it's going to look like with the chargespeeds.

[1Day]

I think it mainly looked wierd to me bc I dont have overs yet. I'm just going to make it work lol. Do the chargespeed flare out at the bottom (were the side skirt and the bumper skirt would mount over)? I was thinking about just running some type IIs bc I wasn't sure if I could get those two areas over the bottoms on the chargespeeds and bc everyone I contact about chargespeed is out of stock.

afaik all chargespeed stuff is hand laid, it only flares out over the wheel well, otherwise it should hug everything else pretty tightly. Someone in the kouki thread has plenty of shots with them installed on their car but I can't remember what page it's on, gotta be on at least one of the last 20 pages. It's white with some deep ass equips or something.

If you're looking to get your hands on some chargespeed rear's and haven't ordered them, hit up frizzle. He says he has a pair on deck ready to ship if you got money and not dreams.

[Mister.E]

does anyone know if a 18x10 +-0 with a 225/40 will rub the inner fenders on a lowered S14? i really dont want to have to relocate my fusebox and get tubs made just so i can run these wheels.

Make sure you step/ press on the tire all around to make sure no air is escaping out of the bottom, then spray all around the wheel and light it as quick as you can, or just find someone with a bead cheeta

By inner fenders do you mean wheel wells or back of fender? Are you going to run front overs? I'm running 18x10 +2 with no issues. I did bang the inner wells in a little, nothing crazy though.



This is with 20mm overs and -4* camber I think... last time I checked my camber I lost a lost a degree on the drives side.

[Mister.E]

im talking about the wheel wells. i will be running 20mm front fenders. if i have to bang some shit a little im cool with that, but i really dont want to have to get tubs.

[t0mmyd]

so i searched around on the forum to find that my 96 s14 is a bolt pattern of 4x114.3 i found a decent set of wheels but there 4x100 is there no way this would work because of the different bolt patter? =\

[t0mmyd]

Sorry im new to this whole fitment stuff too, im so confused on all these sizes -_-

there are adapter spacers out there that, once bolted on, will change your bolt pattern.

[1991240sxhatch]
