If your car is slammed and with that amount of camber I'd run a 245/40 or 235/40 for traction sine you need grip for drifting.

i'd say do a little inner fender arch work, and you could be sitting under -1*

how much camber do you think I'll have to run on stock metal with a good roll\pull?

I could be wrong, but I'd figure you'd need "a little" more than that.

11 +9?

Soo I have 9.5 +17, which fits perfect with a slight roll.

With 11 +9 you're going to need to extend the fender out another 26mm, which is more than a little fender arch work.

A nice roll and pull will get you there. I don't know why you would want to be under -1* of camber though, around 1-1.5 is guuuuuuud.

Also, I feel like these two links could help people out a lot...

Wheel Offset Calculator -- Wheel Offset Calculator

^ So basically enter the wheels you have now, and the ones you want, it tells you how much wider the new ones are going to be.

And then there is this more advanced one which takes into account tire sizes ect...

Online Wheel & Tyre Fitment calculator. Offset and Tyre Stretch -- This one is cooler, just takes a little more time.

[Style]

here is my question about S14 wheel fitment
for the rear to be able to tuck 20's like this dude
what offset would the wheel need to be for the rear to tuck and not have the rear fenders pulled, just rolled (obviously flatten the inner lip against the body, but still left stock looking on the outside)

these wheels in picture MMR HR3 come in 20x8.5 +35 or 20x9.5 +40
im guessing he bought the 20x9.5 +40
i want to know what spacer he is running to have the car the way it is, or no spacer at all?
also how much camber do you think he is running? -2, -3??
that question is just for the rear

now question for the front
lets say this car had a S15 front end conversion running S15 stock metal fenders
i been told that the S15 fenders are wider than S14 fenders
So if i want to run 20x9 or 19x9 in the front with S15 fender than what would the offset need to be to be tucked similar to the s14 in picture running lets say -4 camber

Im going for this look on the S14

ive done lots of research and tried to find the wheels specs on it but no luck.
i came to the conclusion that its probably 19x9 +6 front and 20x10 +23 rear
this is based on multiple pictures that i seen of the Empress wheels in diff offset for the 9in and 10in

someone please answer these question for me if you really know, if you have no idea please don't try to guess
Thanks

With you having suspension arms and all that running minimal camera is possible but it means running a stretch tire. So 215/40 is suggested with minimal pull and your super slammed.

hey man my buddy has some mb battles on his s13 silvia, obviously an s14 wheel well is larger but if youre looking for a cheep way out a 225/40/18 will fit. its a pretty intense stretch but it was 380 for the set shipped. just a thought.

Hey guys lets try and quote the question if you are answering someone just so they know who the answer is for.

[kalypso123]

^ yes...

{msg}

[blingbling]

So much win
thanks a bunch
oh and this thread is dope great idea
otherwise I'm pretty sure I'd be subject to flaming lol

[tqstarburst]

Does anyone know or have a picture of how low do s14 ksport pro's go?

[lflkajfj12123]

all these questions are honestly silly

stop worrying about the offset pretty much get the lowest you can

if you're going for the 326 look you're going to have to run a lot of camber and in the end you'll probably have to use spacers

326 runs -7 to -10 degrees of camber in the FRONT and some what less in the rear

right now on my S14 my fitment goes like this

stock fenders with flattened lips

-7 degrees front -6.5 rear

17x9 +22 front with 33mm spacer

18x10 +19 rear with 15 mm spacer

I could easily lower the car and it would be tucking like you want

its all in the camber

[Style]

dude i know its all in the camber
thats not what im asking tho
i know you can buy a 18x10 with -whatever offset and put it on the car and run like -8 of camber or whatever just to make it fit
thats not what im trying to do tho

i want a 20x10 in the rear tucking like 1in of rim and just want to know what offset the wheel needs to be to run like 2, 3 or 4 degrees of camber
thats all

[Petitt]

Im looking at running 16x10 zero offset wheels in the front on my s13. Probably going to run 205/45s on them too. My question is, am i going to have any problems with rubbing coils or frame? Also, think i could get away with running little to no camber at all?

Heres a exact car with what you looking for and he doesn't look like hes running a lot of camber so its possible with proper alignment.

[lflkajfj12123]

every degree of camber is 5.37 mm away from fender lip

figure it out

[ka24debt]

hey guys! idk.. i like my fitment but then sometimes i feel like this can be alot better. specs are 17x9.75+25 and a 6mm spacer in the rear. tire size for the front is 215/45 which might be a bit overkill on the stretch and im running 224/45 in the rear. im rubbing on top of the wheel wells so any opinions on a more "fit" tire size? im also running-2 degrees of camber all around

You can try getting even smaller sidewalls. Lower the car a couple of mm's and tuck the tire in the fender a bit.

If I'm not mistaken you can monster stretch 215/40 on a 10" or even a 215/35 on a 10". And since your wheels are .25 smaller, theoretically, that SHOULD help. I would not like driving around LA with that kind of stretch though.



But to be honest, it's not worth the extra effort. Your fitment looks fine.

did you have to run a spacer in the front as well? my friend had to run a spacer to actually bolt them on.

on a 350Z, 18x10 wheels, will -5 offset require pulling the rear fender? or will just roll and some stretch work? im not on coils yet, just springs that lower a little over an inch...

[blingbling]

If someone wouldn't mind could I get a recommendation on tire size? My wheel specs are on the first page

Edit: up a couple posts.

With out coils its gonna poke a lot and pretty much look stupid. On a z33 18x10 with a not so extreme stretch is easy, never owned a z but from what i see its easy with a roll.

I answered it to the best of my ability on post #16.

[Wake]

Thanks for joining the thread knoop obviously it could use your help.

[Wake]

i agree^^

I was gonna say got to 40 series all around and lower it more.

But i think if you just lower it a little more it will look fine.

[95KA-Turbo]

Take your front fenders off, then beat the shit out of your whole front wheel well with a sledge hammer, LOL. You can beat the top parts up a good 1/2 inch at least. Same goes for the front and back of the wheel well.

[ka24debt]

The fender wells are beat on quite well lol its just rubbing at the very top where the entry for coilover would slip in. Also my stance coils are maxed out up front and i could slip my hand through. Hopefully a 235/40 will fill in the gap and I could put more tire contact to the floor. Thanks guys

[S14kouki_10]

Can i be slammed on 18's? stock body with just roll. Im about as low as i can go, front wheel rubs on top every little bump. Im at -1.5 degree of camber.

Now this is kind of a silly question. One of the first rules of this thread is to search first & we have PLENTY of pictures/specs of S14's on 18's in the Wheel Fitment Whore thread.

If you're worried about your wheels rubbing on every little bump. Maybe slamming your car isn't for you.

But to answer your question, yes. You can fit 18's with a roll. Depending on the width of your wheels and what kind of tires you have will determine if your wheels rubs or not. Camber can aid the fitment a bit.

However, a roll will only get you so far, it has its limits. If you plan on slamming the car with wide wheels + low offset, you'll need more fender work than a roll to achieve that kind of stance.

Like frsh4 said, you can remove collars to go lower. And if you have Fortune Auto coilovers, you can always cut the lower mounts for the fronts or flip them.

As a loophole, get some lame high offset 18x7 wheel and slam that. That won't rub as much when the car is slammed lol
