Hey guys, I plan on getting a set of Square G8 wheels 17x9 +15. I want to run 235/40 feddy 595s all around. I'll be getting fortune auto 500 coilovers. How will this fit? Does anyone have this setup? I don't plan on slamming, just lowering a good amount. I assume i'll have to roll and maybe pull fenders. I don't want to go overfenders or have too much camber.

^^^Probably the most common S13 fitment on god's green earth. Great for an entry level, starter setup. Just roll your fenders and go.

Does anyone have pics of a similar set up?

You original post doesn't say what chassis, so I'm just gonna assume S13. Here you go: http://www.rimtuck.com/search/thumbn...allf=40&sort=1 & http://www.rimtuck.com/search/thumbn...allr=40&sort=1

Looking at buying some te37s, just wondering how a 18x9.5 +22 fits on the rear of a stock body s13 with z32 rear brakes ?

[STR3TCH]

Looking at some 18X9.5 +35 S13 Probably going to run 215 or 225. Just wondering about coil over clearance. Fenders are already rolled thanks guys!

You are defiantly gonna need spacers up front. I have an 18x9.5 +30 on the front of my s13 with 225-35-18 Federals and camber set as negative as the camber plates allow. Stock LCAs.

I use a 20mm spacer with mine and I dont rub on my coils (PBM btw) but just barely. I dont think I could run a 15mm without hitting. Fitment wise, Im tempted to go to a 25mm on mine. So for you I would run at least a 25mm, possibly 30mm depending on your camber settings and fitment goals.

The rears will fit easily as far as coil clearance but I have no idea how far theyll stick out if at all on a stock body. I've got 50mm overfenders and run a +25 spacer on an 18x9.5 +20 with some camber.

Hope that helps some

can someone help me I've been searching if xxr 527 will clear z32 30mm with z33 track rotors

S13. What would be the perfect offset for a 17x9 wheel with a 235/40 feddy 595 all around? I'm looking into a 17x9+15, but from what i've seen, it looks like it'll be hard to fit under the fender with a 235/40. I only want to roll the fenders and maybe a little camber in the front. What do you guys think? Also, what's the highest offset I can go without needing spacers to clear the FA 500 coils, +25?

[TwoForties]

s13 coupe, stock body. Will I need camber in the rear to fit a 17x9+12 with a 215/45 feddy. Rolled fenders.

[novocaine]

Need tire advice. Looking for something requiring minimal body work (no overs) and minimal stretch (205/45 is a bit to much for me)

91 s13 w/ coilovers
fronts 16x10 w/ 0 offset
rears 16x10 w/ -12 offset

car will see some moderate track and daily use. Toyo makes a 245/45 with a spec rim width of 7.5 - 9inches. is 245 to much? Thanks for any help!! Ill post and contribute to the thread once its all fitted up.

[lunchboxhero]

I've tried finding it and I can't seem to.

Stock body hatch, 18x8 +37 18x9 +37 SSR Vienna's. What is it going to look like without a spacer? Trying to determine sizing and I can't seem to find anything quite yet.

I should probably also add that I plan on tucking these. So I am not looking for crazy poke, but wanting to be as flush as possible without rubbing.

If anyone has a pic of a untouched set of Viennas in those sizes (I've been told it's a common size) on a stock body that would be GREATLY appreciated.

use 25mm spacers all around, and you're flush

will fit and look great. you wont need to pull, maybe just a light roll depending on tires

[madd]

Gonna start of by saying I know absolutely nothing about suspension/tires.
That being said, I'm looking to put 18x10 on the rear with 17x8 on the front of 95 240sx. I want everything straight and flush. I don't know if this is even possible. Please help!

[Gitusum]

i am looking for information. i am doing a 5 lug swap on my 96 s14 and want to put the 06-09 350z rims on and i have the stock suspension struts on the car. will i need spacers for these rims to work?

Not sure if this helps, setting as I've got a hatch, but I'm running anniversaries on stock suspension with lowering springs with no issues. Had to get the fenders rolled, but good other than that. I do rub up front when turning though. But again, not really too helpful.

i am on stock suspension now and not lowered. where do you rub? against the struts or fender or where?

I only rub on the driver side fender plastic, I don't have any on the passenger side, whenever I turn right at all it starts to touch. It's not bad, yet... it clears everything else though, strut, brakes, etc. And i have q45 brakes up front

[I'm Redline]

I have finally decided what size wheel and tire I want to run on my zenki.
17x10+0 or 17x10+6 with a square set up using 235-45-17 Sumitomo, Hankook, or Yokohama S Drive(depends on what I decide to spend on tires). I am not worried about rolling lips or that stuff. The car will be made to fit the wheels, not the other way around.
ZG flares, and whatever kit I figure out to set up. Either way, it will be low and sit on 235's or 245's whichever works.

What do I need to do to make this set up work, and turn right? I am not to worried about drifting since I prefer my fun at speed on back roads and in the hills

I just spent way too much time and effort fixing and refinishing a set of 6 spoke 350z wheels for my s13 convertible. They are 18x8 with a 30mm offset. I'd like to be able to tuck these wheels, and i'd rather not roll and pull the quarters/fenders.



I'm struggling with tires sizes and spacers. My thoughts were 215/40/18 in the front and 225/40/18 in the back. I was thinking 15mm spacers all around but the subframe is out of the car and my new 5 lug hubs are still in the mail so I haven't been able to measure anything. I'm not afraid to run a bit of camber if I need to. I've got parts shop max camber arms and rear lower control arms, and hopefully their toe rods in a month or so.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

There is nothing wrong with rolling a little lip. You can buy Eastwood/Stance Roller and DIY, or you can pay someone to do it, either way that's the right way to do it.
15mm spacers and 225-40-18 will work. If you want to tuck rim, go with 10mm spacers because 15mm will make it perfectly flush with the lip, but the slight stretch on a 225 will move without rubbing. 215's will work even better with a 45 sidewall.
10mm spacers will keep those wheels just inside the lip, 15mm right at the lip, and 20mm just outside of flush

We have a couple guys here with hatches that have done all the above, z wheels, 17x9.5, 18x9.5, 18x9.75, 10mm - 20mm spacers, and we have two guys who roll the lips really nicely, Js4Kix Lifestyle, and Battle Tested

[big_tuna]

Thank you very much for your advice, that really helps me out. I've been looking at fender rollers today, I might as well just bite the bullet and do it!
Can I ask why a 215 with a 45 sidewall would be better? I've got 45's on my spec-v sentra and I figured an 18 with a 45 sidewall would be quite tall! Just wondering out of curiousity

Think about the OE OD of the 16x6.5 with a 205-55-16. It's just under 25". The 215-45 is tall when set square on a 7" wheel, but putting it on an 18" wheel forces it to stretch. When it stretches, the OD decreases. Set the same tire square so sidewalls are straight up, and OD increases.

We have a POS 1993 Sentra SER(SR20DE)...fun little cars for when the 240's are deadlined

[livelovesole]

Will i need spacers or if anyone knows how will a s13 with chargespeed 50mm overfenders fit with a 18x10.5 +15-22 wheel in the rear ? I need to run overfenders in the rear due to a big dent on the body line.

[EveryQuarterMile]

So, quick question for anyone willing to help:

I have a 1989 S13, which still has the stock wheels (which I believe are 15x6 +40mm offset). I will be upgrading my wheels soon to something larger. I have been considering 17x7 or 17x7.5. Maybe 17x8, but I'm not really worried about getting any larger.

I would like to avoid rolling the fenders if at all possible! I'll also soon be ordering BC coilovers, though I don't plan to lower it a whole lot or anything.

So, basically, will I have any fitment issues with these sizes? Thanks in advance for the help!

Not at all.
