It's tall because of fitment issues especially on s13 (front especially) and also feels like crap with such a giant sidewall.

Only if your trying to slam the car, if the car is not lowered to far there is no major issues.

And you know this how? I have not ran my 275's on the track yet, BUT have ran 235/45/17's (same rolling diameter, same GIANT sidewall) Advans, and found the car handles just fine on track.

Not trying to bust your chops, but just trying to point out that a tall sidewall does not mean shitty handling. You want tall... I ran 225/50/15 hoosiers on the front of a sentra, the car was still fast and easy to drive on track.

a_ahmed · 05-21-2008, 05:19 PM

Well you've run them on 17x9 with Richard's less camber/more clearance housings right?... generally s13 front doesn't like it fitment wise

Nothing a set of cheap ebay wide fenders couldn't fix, or just run the car high enough so the tires never smack the fenders

.

JRas · 05-21-2008, 05:49 PM

about to bust an idahotuner

fenders are in dire need of roll/pull
harness needs to be re-located before I can lower it more
probably need to hammer in front tubs also

it's getting closer though

RedSVTFlareside · 05-21-2008, 08:11 PM

Looks GREAT! Lets see it lowered after you do a little work on it.

What stats are we looking at here buddy?

spool_sample · 05-21-2008, 08:23 PM

Wow. Pearl White/RPF1 got popular fast.

My car:

sean350z's sig pic (which I assume is his car):

And above:

Fuck, I'm buying aero next.

Car looks good, though, JRas. I kinda wish I went the 9.5 route.

those are 10's son :P

I may be the only one with a slicktop though

KA240SX808 · 05-21-2008, 09:43 PM

10's, wow I some how wanna say you would have been better w/ an 9.5+18 in the front. Looks nice though.

Automato · 05-21-2008, 10:13 PM

Not as baller as some of you guys, but its a big jump for me. 18" G35 wheels.
245/40/18 Front
255/35/18 Rear
Stock fenders, rubs when I hit hard but not bad since I'm not dropped to low. Roll coming soon.

KA240SX808 · 05-22-2008, 02:27 AM

Looks nice, could use a drop and some camber up front

Looks good, but aren't your front tires taller than your rears

lol, you know what, you are right. i didn't even notice that till now. the 35 series and 40 series tires were supposed to be for the 235/245 setup. at the last minute, i decided to go with 245/255 setup but totally forgot about the sidewall aspect ratio. oh well, i'll just have to keep it as is. good catch.

KA240SX808 · 05-23-2008, 03:35 AM

lol, nice, are those 4 Rear G35 wheels or the staggered front and rear?

Dsminduction · 05-24-2008, 08:59 PM

what offset would i need for an 11 inch rim with a 295 to clear coilovers. and would i need overfenders? im guessing yes and around a +20? i could do a 10 inch also. 98 240sx se.

spanishricer · 05-24-2008, 09:34 PM

275/40/17's on my S14. But they're really wide 275's.

Right after install and no changes to camber. Fenders were already pulled for my last set of wheels/tires. Needed more fender modding though.

After a little more pulling.

Still needs just a few more mm pulled out of the fenders so it won't rub on hard launches or big bumps.

spanishricer · 05-24-2008, 09:35 PM

Sorry, the wheels are 17x9 and 17x10 with +19 offset front and rear.

apparently this hasn't been posted recently enough,
http://www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_specs.jsp
there are enough examples in here to find what you need.

Dsminduction · 05-25-2008, 02:44 AM

well does anyone know how much distance is in between the hub and the stock suspension, and on the other side of the hub, between the hub and fender? im guessing a little under 6 inches to the struts, and a little under 4 to the fender? im not able to measure at the moment. guess ill have to get out the ruler next time i get the chance haha.

KA240SX808 · 05-25-2008, 03:30 AM

Hey spanish whats the offset on the front 9's and are you rockin 275's on those too?

lpb · 05-30-2008, 07:05 PM

Revive!

Guys I went to have a look at prices for tyres the other day and at the shop they had 265/35/18's sitting there in a stack- they were Kumho semislicks, couldn't stop staring at them and touching :P.

And also was having a gander at a Porsche Carrera sitting round the other day and it had 265/35/18s on the rear and 235/18s (pff) on the front and had to laugh cause at the shop I ordered 275/35/18's for ALL 4 corners :P!
SO I'm gonna have wider wheels on all for corners on my S14 :O then on the back of a Porsche lol :d loves it.

There will be photos, so this thread can go on

Mikey213 · 05-31-2008, 04:56 PM

I have a set of 17x9 +15s all around. I was wondering what fitment issues 235/40s all around would have? How well does it work with KA gearing? (s13 on coils)

turtl631 · 05-31-2008, 05:16 PM

That should fit no problem. KAs are weak, so the shorter gearing from 235/40 should help your acceleration out quite a bit.

Flicktitty · 06-02-2008, 02:36 PM

Quick Questions.

How wide to the RIMS have to be to run a 275? 10"? And this is on the rear only.

Z33dori · 06-02-2008, 03:00 PM

you would recommend a 10 or 10.5

Eyemfaster · 06-02-2008, 03:11 PM

18x9.5 +20 235/40/18
18x10.5 +20 275/35/18

stance coils, stock arms

importantone · 06-02-2008, 04:54 PM

I'm a big fan of stretching and hellaflush fitment.... but I can't deny the coolness of a meaty drag car setup. A friend of mine is picking up a S13 soon, and I'm pretty set on doing his car this way.

a_ahmed · 06-02-2008, 04:54 PM

Man fit some 255s up front heh... thats a huge stagger + huge waste of front wheels (9.5 you can fit 275s as well, 10.5 holy crap fit some 295s...)

importantone - this is not a drag car thread.. otherwise we'd be running skinnies in the front and 3xx or mickey thompsons all the time... its for the grip crowd mostly...

importantone · 06-02-2008, 05:10 PM

^ I get that. I was saying I like the look.
