More low= more camber. Remove collars.

zooopreme · 07-15-2011, 10:07 AM

My question is for those S13 owners, how much of a pull for the rears will be needed for 10" +18?

I can't tell how much of a pull the couple on the front page has. But it doesn't look like much. I've seen a hatch that was higher off the ground with the same wheel specs and he had to pull the fenders about ~25mm. The hatch is running a 10mm spacer but let's imagine the car without one, will that kind of pull be necessary?

Generally, do coupes have wider wheel wells? Or am I trippin out?

SaNTi · 07-15-2011, 10:19 AM

A lot depends on the type of tire you run too. That hatch has a bigger tire than the coupe.

revcyanide · 07-15-2011, 10:21 AM

this is a great thread.
im looking to tuck on a stock body zenki, with all fenders rolled.
17/18 stagger, I m not going for the 326 power look of tucking half the rim, just to were the lip of the rim is tucked.
my question is, what offsets are ideal for this? i know i can always add more camber but i am trying to do it with minimal camber. I have no problem beating the shit out of the fenderwells to acquire some clerance, and this is not a daily driven car at all.
I have done some searching, and found all the information i could ever want on if i wanted flush fitment, but not much on the look i want.

thanks!

The coupe is mine I do look to have a smaller tire a 225/40 dunlop. The pull is very little hardly noticeable.

what the heck are the wheel and tire specs on that hatch?! its flawless. seems to be semi functional and still flush.

from the looks of the wheel face...id guess 18x9.5 or 10.5 and between +12 and +19 offset (effective)

tires, probably 235 or 245/40 front, and 255 or 265/35 rear.

17x10 +18 all around, 10mm spacers in the rear. Running Federal RT615 (235/40) up front (so that's like a 245/40) and Yokohama S-Drives (245/40)

ya your car sits perfectly in my opinion, nice job.. was pulling that rear difficult cause of the double layer metal?

S13 rear fenders pull really easy, you just have to heat them up and do it slowly so they are smooth.

zooopreme · 07-15-2011, 10:25 AM

Oh that's right I forgot to take that into account, if I were to run a smaller tire will that minimize the camber? Because according to rimtuck, that hatch is running around 3-3.5* and according to the first page, the coupe is running about 2.3*

Yeah, it'll be easier to fit with a smaller tire. On a 10J you could run 215/40 Federal 595's since they run wide. It'll be like running a 225/40... which are damn near impossible to find. Unless you don't mind running 45s.

I agree with 100%. I ran dunlop all around and in the front the gap is less with federal and i rub some what with feds where dunlop i actually had a gap.

zooopreme · 07-16-2011, 10:07 AM

Heard you can only fit 10" +18 wheels up front on the S13 with Apexi N1 coilovers along with Megans.

With that said, how much of a spacer will I need to run in order for them joints to fit stock bodied S13? And what kind of fender work will I need to make them fit?

Or should I go with a 9 or 9.5" in front. I really don't want to run staggered at all. But if a 10" +18 is not worth the effort, then what would be a better stagger 9 or 9.5"?

lflkajfj12123 · 07-16-2011, 11:35 AM

go with 9j in front

or add a lot of camber then you can run more spacer to clear the coilover

ayuaddict · 07-16-2011, 11:52 AM

Seconded on star specs.

Shit is almost as sticky as R888.

motherfucker.

alexanderig · 07-17-2011, 05:49 AM

well i got my wheels on camber is maxed in the front and in the rear is -.5. i want to go lower but i need fender work. now my question do i need a roll and pull? or will just a roll suffice thanks in advance

I personally hate roll and pull. It messes up your rear fender. A roll should do the job!

zooopreme · 07-17-2011, 10:06 AM

For the fronts, if the coilovers can go lower, you can hammer the lips and give it a slight roll. How much camber is in the front anyway?

For the rears, you're going to need more camber to go lower so you're going to need new arms that can dial in more camber & to try to keep the toe as close to zero. After that you're going to need a slight roll and possibly a slight pull.

frsh4 · 07-17-2011, 01:17 PM

Roll and pull and lower. Try lowering it all the way and decided what you got to do. Shouldnt take long to lower all the way. What tire size are you running and offset? Looks like the new xxr +25 but pretty sure your running spacers.

alexanderig · 07-17-2011, 01:30 PM

I already have all arms in the back for adjustability. I'm going to roll and pull my fenders now, and then go lower. As for camber I'm maxed in the front in the rear -.5. I'm trying to keep it minimal in the rear since it gets drifted. And in the front I'm running 10mm spacers and in the rear nothing. After this I'll probably throw a little more camber in the back.

*Wake* · 07-17-2011, 02:13 PM

who told you half a degree was good for driftiing?

I would say your going to need to go to at least -1.5

frsh4 · 07-17-2011, 02:24 PM

Also your fronts dont look maxed out.

GooGaSaurus · 12-02-2014, 12:14 AM

This has probably been asked but I don't have the time to read through 100post to find it but Would 18/9.5 effect the turning radius on the s13 coupe? I'm trying to run 18/10.5 with a 20 offset in the rear I know I have to roll and pull fenders but I was worried mainly about the turning radius and how bad I'll be rubbing my wheel wells! Thanks!

alexanderig · 07-17-2011, 05:28 PM

my fronts are no where near maxed out. im going to go lower and increase camber in the back soon. today i just rolled the rears with a small pull, and in the front i just bent the tabs in the front. more low coming soon and more camber in the rear. ill post pics when its all done

Mrjbrown07 · 12-29-2013, 12:22 PM

Hey guys. I'm trying to fit wheels that are 17x9.75 +25 on my s13 hatch. Any suggestions on what size spacers I should use?

Rears will be Damn Close to suspension if not touching, possible 5mm slip on spacer.

Fronts will be close, depending on your brakes you might need a spacer regardless and they will rub if you have any angle mods.

depends on the type of coils and how low you are.

i had to run a 20mm because i'm super low. the tires would hit the coils.

cody_sir · 03-23-2014, 04:45 PM

hey guys so I found some wheels that I might be purchasing however they are a little wider than my original plan for the front. It will be going on an s14.

My fenders will be rolled but I dont want to pull... the rears are 18.10.5+6 with a 225/40 probably and the fronts are 18x10 +12 with a probably a 215/40 or 225/40.

The rear setup im sure will work with just a roll and lots of camber but the front is what im not to sure of...

Does anybody know for sure if it will work up front just a roll and more camber?

Im in the same boat as you 18x10 +12 all around i found a guy running 18x12 +15 with a 5mm spacer so we should be good but idk yet when i get mine on ill let you know a little more but 215 is a little risky for me on a 18x10 lowest ill go is a 225 just for the fact it has a little more contact around the rim plus i would hate to see that 215 blow out fast if your driving crazy
