I am on that thin line between "objective" and "subjective," so I will close this off now, since there is already a thread sticky in this very section, containing information sought in this thread.

Thank you! I for one am enjoying this thread so far. I was actually going to pm Phlip about it. +1 for you guys for being opened minded.

wheel specs plz? I was looking to fit some 305's back there but need advice on offset for stock fenders.

Prok0 · 12-05-2007, 07:02 PM

Just to clarify, that isnt my car, although I know the guy who owned it at the time..

Wheel specs, not really sure other then they are 17x10 mas italy wheels made for a stang.. So offsets probably in the +20 to +30 range.

And the fender was rolled.

IIRC they're +27 with 305s, not 315s.

flares make anything possible. if Prok0 ran flares he could fit 355s or something obnoxious. it's impressive because it's on a virtually stock body.

isnt 315's about 11.50" - 12.00" wide? I don't have 315's but I am Running 11.50 M:T drag Radials!! I am running a 35mm offset.

cdlong · 12-05-2007, 04:07 AM

now that's what i'm talking about. how about some wheel specs? did you even roll the fender at all?

Gumballf355 · 12-05-2007, 05:53 AM

Looks like just a roll with slight flaring... I bet this gives alot of S14 owners some hope. Imagine if you will, 285/30/18s and 315/30/18s. WOW. Not too many cars put down that kind of rubber. Your drag car should have a license plate that reads "MAGNUMS" and then on the frame have it say PORNOGRAPHICALLY HUGE RUBBERS.

a_ahmed · 12-05-2007, 04:58 PM

355s on an s13 and even s14 have yet to be done

cdlong · 12-06-2007, 07:40 AM

12.40157480"

Daniel. · 12-06-2007, 11:10 AM

Those 315's on a stock fender is nuts.

I was just about to try and fit something at least 295 all around on the evo but now that 315 tire has me thinking.

S13FREEAAK · 12-06-2007, 02:15 PM

How about some wide 16s.

Circa 2004

16x9.5 CCW +10 up front +35 in rear
245/45/16 all the way around
unknown camber
slight pull up front.

mmm CCWs...that thing got a V8 in it? Looks sick

turtl631 · 12-06-2007, 05:02 PM

Someone needs to post up Sasha's setup, here goes. His racecar was 18x9.5 RPF1 front with 275/35/18 RA1 and 18x10.5 rear with 305/35/18. Not sure on offsets, check ziptied if you really want to know. Worked well for his endurance racing purposes. I'm assuming since he recently parted the car out and was selling lots of damaged body parts that it got crashed.

Full Race/Brady time attack S14: 17x9 +17 MB Weapons, 275/40/17 slicks all around

My car: 17x9 +17 MB Weapons, 245/40/17 Kumho MX all around, rolled fenders, car a little bit too low for my tastes so I have some rubbing up front at full lock. I want something like Sasha's setup next with some used R comps. I got this current setup because it was cheap and a sure thing as far as fitment goes.

Ok sorry to resurrect an OLD post, but anyone have info on the rear overfender size or make? Thanks!

YOUR CHASSIS: s14

WHEELS: Nismo LM GT4 -
TIRES: Maxxis 265 / 18 / 30+ 5mm spacers up front
PURPOSE OF CAR: everything

I'm going to try to fit 285 / 30 / 18 in the rear. Otherwise, if anyone has ever done so let me know.

285's on a LM GT4? I hope you have a 10" wide LM GT4 because I have them too and I'm running 9.5" back (common size) and 275 is the biggest you can safely go.

articdragon192 · 12-06-2007, 10:37 PM

Might as well post my Z at this is Zilvia.

19x10 +24
265/30-19

I can fit 275/30-19s if I wanted to.

articdragon192 · 12-06-2007, 11:17 PM

Actually, LM-GT4s are either 9.5 or 10.5.

Whatever, I meant at least a 10" wide. I do not remember the exact widths they come in, but the most common are 8.5 front and 9.5 rear. And upon further investigation a 285 MIGHT fit depending on the tire, but it'd be a little too big to fit on the rim if it was me.

articdragon192 · 12-06-2007, 11:24 PM

We've done a 285 on a 9.5j wheel before at work. It's very possible.

Broadfield · 12-06-2007, 11:54 PM

Finally!!!!!! A thread where I don't have to explain why I didn't buy a 10" wide wheel with +0 offset and a frigging 225 tire stretched around it

First setup:

Tires: 245/40 and 275/35
Suspension: Cusco Coilovers
Power: 400whp
Daily driven with some track
Rolled fenders front and rear

New setup:

Wheels: Work Meister S1 2P's 18x8 +32 A-disk(for the big brakes) 18x9.5 +44 O-disk
Tires: 235/40 and 265/35

I was wondering what brand tires this car is running because i cant seem to find a 275/30/18 anywhere. looking to do 275/30/18 rear and 245/35/17 up front on a s13.

Can anyone suggest some high offset 17 x 9-10's that are cheap (like <$200 per wheel) for the rear of my S13? I love the way Broadfields car sits on these wide arse high dollar wheels, love it. I think I need around his offset to keep it looking stock and not all poked and tucked, so I'd say 40mm + on the offset.

thanks,
Fred

turtl631 · 12-07-2007, 12:47 AM

You can definitely go bigger than 275 on a 18x9.5" wheel. Stock class autocrossers with RX8s and Solstices with 18x8" wheels run 285/30 all the time. Most 285/30s are rated for use on a 9.5" wheel. It might not have the best contact patch on a wheel that's on the narrow side of its rated range, but it will fit on there and be safe.
