drftwerks · 12-14-2008, 04:08 PM

those are veilside, iirc

sultan · 12-14-2008, 04:13 PM

yeah they're veilside, way more baller than emitz.

firelizard · 12-14-2008, 04:48 PM

I don't know how you calculate your scale of ballerness, but they're both fantastic classic JDM wheels (or should wait until they're older to call them that?)

sultan · 12-14-2008, 05:18 PM

i had 8 emitz at one point, always regretting that i hadn't purchased the one set of veilsides that rb had a long time ago. i like emitz but veilside

dunno if i ever put this pic in here 18x9 +0 225/35 18x10 -13 245/35

Anyway, got new overs the other day. Same 18x12 -7 255-35 feddy. No flexing, about -1 camber and the worlds most terrible pictures haha

not really...took more pics but need to photoshop em first!

opponheimer · 12-15-2008, 01:40 PM

Work Equips

Front: 18x12 -20 offset
Rear: 18x13 -7 offset
Price: $1800++

This is the first serious set of wheels i may buy, and to be honest I've never put anything bigger than a 10.5" rim on a s14. For you wheel-whore gurus out there, would I be unadvised to put these on an s-chassis?

Would I need 20mm front 50mm rear over fenders for the car as well? What other sorts of additions to the car would I need to use these things?

Thanks
Mike

With 12 inch front's you'll need to tub the fenders, as well as getting some sort of PS cooler. Your pump will love you for it.

I'm not 100% on S14's but I doubt even 20mm fronts will fit those. And the 50mm rears I'm sure could fit those wheels, with enough -camber and tire stretch.

95KA-Turbo · 12-15-2008, 03:18 PM

30mm fronts + tubs + bow the fender out to make it bigger then a 30mm fender.

Rear 50mm + bow it out to be a little bigger.

Other then that good luck, 12Js up front is madness.

I thought I was bad enough for putting some low offset 10s up front on my stock fenders, lol. Shows what I know.

LA_phantom_240 · 12-15-2008, 05:09 PM

17x8 +6 in front, 17x9 +13 rear, about 2.5* of camber on an S14.... fit? Flush? Definitely clears coilovers... What do you think?

OptionZero · 12-15-2008, 05:16 PM

uh
no

anything x 8 does not belong in this thread

andmattsayd · 12-15-2008, 05:23 PM

^^^^^^Agreed.

firelizard · 12-15-2008, 06:06 PM

Disagreed.

You can be flush with x8, it's all about the offset (and the car).

Then again, since this is Zilvia, a forum that caters to RWD Nissans, I guess it's not totally unfair to say that x8 doesn't belong.

In all seriousness, 8j wheels are fine in the front for a DD as far as I'm concerned..

So is anyone going to give me some USEFUL input?

I had 17X8/9s as my original set up.

I ran spacers for a -10 up front and +5 out back 215/40 up front and 235/45 out back....a 235/40 would have been a better set up.

nismo tuned s14 · 12-15-2008, 06:40 PM

With a negative offset/spacers, yes, you can make it flush.

Just don't stretch any tires on there.

EDIT: Proof above.

Hammond · 12-17-2008, 06:27 AM

R: 16x9-10 205/50 pull and flare. unsure about camber (prolly -2~)

195's next time.

Agreed. Needs more sidewall.

Nategreat923 · 12-17-2008, 08:58 PM

the guy just dropped them off today. so i put them on. havent been able to do anythng with them yet. any recommendations of what to do?

YoungGun · 12-17-2008, 09:15 PM

Get rid of balloon tires then take out camber and make them fit.

SlideAlliance · 12-17-2008, 10:35 PM

Run bigger wheels
Less Camber
Stretch more
Roll the fenders nice and smooth

Only then can you reach good fitment

.......or be stupid like most of us and run wheels way too big for the car and make yourself flex over fenders to fit them

AznDrftr. · 12-18-2008, 12:07 AM

Dont know if i can post in here, but need to know what size to stretch on a 18x10 | 18x12 please.

I was looking at about 225/40/18 on the 18x10 and 255 or 265/?/18 on the 18x12

Thanks for the help.
