Maximum TIRE(Rubber) fitment thread

I'm not looking to do a pull at this time, hence why I only have a 245 tire I want to put on. Just looking to see if it will stay within the 1/4 panel arch.

I understood what you meant. I was just exaggerated the point that this thread is more concern with MAX rubber > sacrificeing rubber for fitment.
Suggestion are going to be along the lines of "keep the 275s and ..."
-Pull the fenders
-add overs
-add flares
Or Camber.

I have the same wheels specs as you and my solution is 255s with some camber. Which Disqualified me from the thread.

Thanks dude. I once again, appreciate the honesty.

XXR 531 platinum wheels
Nitto 555 fronts and 555R rear tires

Front: 17x8 +25 with 235/45
Rear: 17x9 +35 with 275/40

Front and rear fenders rolled, zero pull.



Getting the LS treatment currently:

Here's my solution for 335/30/18 on 18x12 et+20:



Cut and welded arches to be covered by 50mm overs.

[inuyasha3466]

That'll do it. I had 275/35 on 18x10.5-8 with 50mm fenders and about -1.5 degrees camber.

[s14hunter]

Currently getting the LS/T56 treatment

[laextreme5]

Still LOTS of work to be done, still waiting on wheels to come back from being machined and lips made. Mocked up the tire for now. 335/30/18 r888 all around.

Just mocked up the rear wheels. Couldn't really get a good idea because the hub pitch for the hubs I got were 3mm too thick. Waiting on some spacers to clear the hub lip. Also the fronts with ctsv brakes.

That's insane!

I have signatures disabled, so a direct link would be nice.

any pictures sitting on the ground? looks like it fits really well.

I finally got around to mounting my overfenders and wheel / tire combo:

335/30/18's tucked on 18x12 et+20 with a 7mm spacer (to simulate how they'll sit when I put the s14 rear subframe in).

I have 2 deg negative camber, but would like to have a bit less.

This is as low as the KTS coilovers will go in the rear.

These are 50mm overfenders, bowed a bit.

[SoundEfx]

I'm with Boosty.
I've been searching for month for wheel sizes that fits flush without spacers and body modifications and from the looks of it, s14hunter has it perfect.

18's look huge!!! Like the concept tho. :thumbup:

[Black R]

^ thanks.

I'd prefer 17's, but a 17x12 is hard to find at a decent price.

I'd gladly move down if I could find anything reasonable.

Next up is fitting 335's up front.

Suggestions on what I'll need?

I think longer LCA's and upper camber plate relocation at a minimum.

Buy some 3 piece 17's and rebuild them to 17x12

[silviaks2nr]

I guess I wonder why you need such a wide wheel and tire up front? I have a feeling it will just never work.

[Bubbles240]

1996 Nissan 240sx with Enkei Kojins 18x9.5" +30 front and rear. No spacers at all with a 255/40/18 Falken RT615k in the front and a 275/35/18 Falken RT615k in the rear. Camber settings at -1.5 degree in the front and -1.0 in the rear.

[SoundEfx]

Clean, tasteful and no irreversible body damage or modifications.
Well done sir, well done.

[Bubbles240]

Just painted a month ago as well.. Sad to see it go but I am moving out of the country for a while and I don't want to see this think collect dust.

Because a square setup is fast for us grip drivers.

It's already been done - mostly street mod 240's running 18x12's and 315 Hoosiers up front:

[s14Art]

Wheels: WORK VS-XX
Front: 18x9.5 et20
Rear: 18x10.5 et20

Camber:
Front: -3.4
Rear: -2.5

Tires:
Front: 275/35/18 TOYO R888
Rear: 315/30/18 TOYO R888

Body modifications:
Front: none, not even rolled
Rear: rolled and pulled

Would I do it differently if I were to do it again / next time?
Yes, 255 fronts and 305 rears... Also wish the wheels were about 5-7mm less aggressive, so I could run slighlt more positive camber without rubbing. But I'm not gonna get another set of wheels... These will stay on the car for a very long time.
