Wheel fitment whore thread (Stretch/Flush) *NO SPECS, NO POST!* - Page 71 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Ok guys i need some quick answers.. i work at lexus part time and i have my new wheels and tires here trying to get mounted.. the guys wanna know if theres a specific procedure of stretching the tires.. they just dont want to mess anything up..

i got 18x9 with 225/40 and 18x10.5 with 245/40

95KA-Turbo · 10-20-2008, 04:36 PM

Those will hardly be stretched so you don't have to worry about anything.

IF for some reason you have a hard time getting the bead to set get someone to help you push on it to get at least one side of the bead to set (top or bottom). If you have a cheetah get someone to hold the air line on the valve stem with it on full blast and hit the area between the wheel and tire with the cheetah and it'll pop right on.

Those tire sizes should pop right on with little or no difficulty though. Especially if they're Falken Ziex.

5t341tH · 10-20-2008, 05:15 PM

^^ yep. those sizes should go on ez. if not, u need practice.
if all else fails, use the CHEETAH. that shit is badass to the max

Bushido · 10-20-2008, 05:25 PM

^ those are barely stretched, easy as pie to mount.

EDIT: beat me to it.

brainfood · 10-20-2008, 06:11 PM

Put the 25mm spacers on the back its a bit too much for me but it looks better. Probably need closer to a 10-15mm spacer and less camber.

95KA-Turbo · 10-20-2008, 10:31 PM

To the average person/tire shop if the tire is going on a wheel that it isn't recommended to go on it is unsafe. I have 215/45s on my 17X9s...I'd run 225/40s if they made them. Any tire shop that does 20s and up will have a cheetah and will most likely know what they're doing. A bunch of my friends work at shops/own them so I either help put them on/they put them on for me no questions asked.

Sorry for the tangent in the wheel thread....this local Q45 should help make up for it:

I'm not sure of the exact offsets, but they're 18X9.5/10.5 in the low teens or possibly under +10 offset wise.

A better shot of Andrew's car (Slow40SX):

nismosx · 10-20-2008, 10:42 PM

will these offset clear coilovers f: 18x11 +10 r: 18x13 +10

95KA-Turbo · 10-20-2008, 10:56 PM

Looks like you'll need a 10-15mm spacer up front to clear coilovers. There should be lots of room in the back but that is a really wide wheel.

FYI: Wheel Offset Calculator

I just judge everything by a 9J +30 because I know that doesn't clear. It says it'll be 5mms further in then that, so a 15mm spacer would give you 9 +20 inner clearance, which definitely fits, I'm not sure if a 9 +25 will clear all coilovers.

There is a list of offsets and widths that work if you search though. I only answered because the link to the wheel offset calculator is buried in this thread.

FlyingAngle · 10-22-2008, 01:43 PM

Thanks for all the compliments guys, I just took a few more pictures. I'm happy with the way the pull came out, both sides have a dip where there used to be a tab sticking out for the inner fender, has anyone else had this problem? I don't really care since I've started sliding and running low offset wheels I've learned to man up and not let little things like that bug me, it's not a show car

Did some really bad photochopping. Thinking about deleting the moldings all the way around

FlyingAngle · 10-22-2008, 07:03 PM

^^^ baller as fuck dude, I need to get some 35 profile tires for my fronts, fitting those 40's was a bitch.

SlideAlliance · 10-22-2008, 07:15 PM

I also cut out the underside of my inner fenders and welded in a new piece so I can set the car on the ground without rubbing. If I had 30 series fronts I can drag BN aero in a straight line and tuck the lips completely under the fenders.

Is anyone running modified front steering knuckles with wheels bigger than a 10" without rubbing at full lock?

95KA-Turbo · 10-22-2008, 08:26 PM

Did you morons not see the post about him not wanting to have to clean this thread out again? Don't post unless you're posting something worth a fuck - either pictures or answering a relevant question.

My other buddy's Q45 to stay somewhat on topic:

18X10/11 +8/12

Will get better pics soon.
18*9.5 +5

Oh, and this is on a Z32 rear, lol.

Can you put NO PICS, NO POST in the thread title?

I would hate for this thread to get locked.

ayuaddict · 10-24-2008, 12:11 PM

haha then 90% of the forum wouldn't be able to post.

**ThatGuy** · 10-25-2008, 05:33 PM

You should NOT be posting in this thread, PERIOD.

Those weak wheels and 4x4 height do not belong in this Thread. I'm just being honest,

sobigsofly · 10-27-2008, 07:13 PM

18x10 +3? something I don't remember but it looks good -2 camber sittin on 1 of the only 2 sets of enkei RP05's on the state side

Fries · 10-27-2008, 07:59 PM

How much space is there between the fender and where the wheel wouldn't fit [due to too much positive camber] in the rear.

My love for flush is equal to my love of the widest fucking wheel look.
I want to see what the widest wheel I can run without overfenders.
With basic ass guess-a-mation I'm thinking 18x12 +25/30 would be fucking perfect [in my mind; good amount of flush and good width]

Would you be able to fit wider 17's since theyre not as tall and might have more space before they smack the inner part of the fender?

<3

That size would be like "SCREEEEEEECH" on your coilovers right?

Here's my car forever ago:

I'll get current pictures once I pull my rears and take out some cambers.

I'm not on fn's anymore btw.

sobigsofly · 10-27-2008, 09:19 PM

I'm actually -2 camber in the rear

When did this happen James? I thought you were all about proper suspension geometry Formula D setup haha.
With a 18x12J you'd have to have an offset no higher than +5 or so (depending on camber), otherwise the inner wheel lip will hit the car/coilover.

Whhaat, 17s look great on S14s!

Regamasters look different then other wheels though....say a 3 piece wheel with lip would look smaller then my wheels. The fact that they're white makes them look larger as well. Everyone always thinks I have 18s.

BillWatcher · 10-28-2008, 09:40 AM

kinda weak but it is what it is.

18x8.5 50mm spacer front 18/40/235

18x10 -32 no tires yet >_< (the jack is maxed out still have a lot of room to tuck)

***FaLKoN240*** · 10-28-2008, 10:14 AM

Get pics of the girl.

Oldie but goody...

18x9.5 +12 Shitty sidewall federal 225/40/18

I don't like this pull/roll as much as my current set-up...

-2.5 or something like that. I had it like this because I daily drove it.

New car is track only -4.5* LOL

newb_driver · 10-28-2008, 10:28 AM

18x9.5+15/17 whatever the offset on battles are
225.40.18

yea, i know it needs to go lower but coilovers or suspension is acting weird.

Erika more shots of the whole back end of the car...

I've never really seen it!

(except when it looked ghetto and didn't really have a front end on it, on Lucky's trailer or whatever.)

**ThatGuy** · 10-28-2008, 05:07 PM

Now, you have two choices.

#1. Get back to posting pictures of actually Wheel Fitment Examples.

or

#2. Bitch that I deleted the picture of the girl and the useless posts that went along with it and get this Thread locked.

Your choice.
