Where did you find this lip???

I must have one!

KA240SX808 · 09-25-2010, 03:00 PM

Looks like an SRB Power Lip.

corbin · 09-25-2010, 09:06 PM

Negative.

That's Australian Spec OEM. Called Top Stage or "Luxury S14a lip." There is a recent thread about it on this very forum... I think it looks great and want one too, but good luck finding it.

The Lip is made by an Australian company, Top Stage.
There are a few threads on here about it,

those readers of speed hunters may remember a purple s14a with the same lip featured a month or two ago.

cheeky14 · 10-02-2010, 04:15 PM

i test fitted a 18x10 +50 offset BBS LM in the rear of my s14 with no tire the wheel clears all suspension components, the inner lip has about a pinky finger distance to coilover body as well as the threaded spring perch, i am going to try to get the seller, to allow me to test fit a tire & set it on the ground to see what clears & what does'nt etc.

I figured i'de ask if any one has fitted a high offset 10 inch wide rear & had any issues or suggestions

kyles1988 · 10-02-2010, 04:21 PM

I ahd 18X10 +44's on the rear of my S14. It hit my trailing arm

Yeah, like Kyle said, that +50 isn't going to work... without a 10mm spacer. You probably didn't know when you test fit because it's not going to rub until you put the car on the ground. Same way with my 18x11 +30 on my S13. Everything was cool in the air, but once I took the car off the jack stands and on it's own weight, the lower control arm rubbed on the inner lip of the wheel. So naturally I notched the control arm.

did you have the o.e. trailing arms?

i kinda figured it would'nt work, without doing some extra work ;i assumed i would need a 10-15mm. spacer & longer studs to make it work, i guess i'll play it safe & source BBS LM 18x9 20offset all around

thanks for the info

Yes, OEM trailing arms. And like Toby said, it only rubbed on the ground, not in the air.

did you end up keeping them or run spacers to clear; what size if you kept them

kyles1988 · 10-03-2010, 07:00 PM

kept them for a little bit. They only rubbed the trailing arm when my suspension was really articulated, so like coming into a crappy drivewway. Therefore I didn't run spacers.

NBKouki · 10-21-2010, 06:22 PM

285's in the rear
255's up front

ReaperBJJ · 10-23-2010, 07:39 AM

^ I've always got a chubby for those Z wheels and that tire fitment makes it even better, I think I want a set for my s13 now please....

Dazzla · 10-23-2010, 06:58 PM

^ If only they were easy to find!!

kyles1988 · 10-23-2010, 07:39 PM

Aren't they 19's? At least in the rear right?

ReaperBJJ · 10-24-2010, 07:19 AM

18x9 F and 19x10 R I believe..

*kingkilburn* · 10-24-2010, 01:03 PM

Does any one have the offsets on those?

I would consider running four of the fronts on my fastback if they have the right offset.

+30 both front and rear

ej2civic · 10-28-2010, 08:26 PM

update of my pics.
Volk GT-N
Front 17x8 +10 with 235/40-17 stock fenders rolled
Rear 17x9 +24 with 255/40-17 rolled with slight pull
I know its not the MAXIMUM fit but I do what i can with the wheel size i have, haha.

NewYorkCoupe · 11-17-2010, 01:11 PM

Alright so I need some help guys. I came into possession of some Volk Racing EMU wheels in 17x8 +35 / 17x9 +40. If I run 20mm spacers what size tire would you recommend for mainly street and about 5 autox days per year? s13 coupe.

What brand tire do you guys prefer the most?

TheRealSy90 · 11-17-2010, 01:20 PM

Dunlop Direzza Star Specs.

kyles1988 · 11-17-2010, 01:21 PM

Nitto NT05

longfellow · 11-17-2010, 02:08 PM

Nitto NTO5, Hankook RS-3, Kumho XS, Dunlop Z1 Star Spec

Those are the only tires worth looking into.

greddy2die · 11-17-2010, 11:11 PM

I have Hankook RS-3's on my car. 255/40/17's on my 9" wide advans. I really like them, im putting down about 390whp - 37x tq or so with my ls1 and ive got pretty good traction considering.

Although, ive never had any of the other tires listed so i cant really compare them to the others.
