Unless you create them, like me, by driving over a part of the road that decides that it was going to just get ripped up when your wheel goes over it.

and I still rub my wheel well's in the front, ARGH I need to hammer them in.
Only when drifting 3rd though, daily driving its A OK! No rub. No tub.

TheSquidd · 01-31-2008, 03:05 PM

Well yeah. If you're going to be that low it's a given you'll need MASSIVE fender work to fit 17x9.

I was half an inch higher than Vinh I think and my fenders took an INTENSE beating.

hitman · 01-31-2008, 05:59 PM

i sometimes rub 215 40 with massive ammounts of hammering. i hammered more recently though.

your first set of wheels dont have to be 2k+... you can have well fitting wheels without spending an assload.

Z33dori · 01-31-2008, 10:55 PM

site nice......but not perfect...go figure they are sportmax.

i mean once i get some money yea ill upgrade to some more flush a wide wheels, but being a broke and in college my choicees are limited...So i wanna work with what i got.

1985zcar · 01-31-2008, 11:40 PM

That led me to believe i won't need fenders at all. That car has stock fenders and still sits flush.

Is there a better offset i can use for the front to sit flush?

I just got a set of Gullflames, same fitment (18x9.5 +15). No tires yet, sorry... still trying to figure out what size I need. Here's what they look like on the front of my S14. Stock fenders, no roll or pull so far. The car is obviously off the ground... this is just to show how far out the wheels go.

If I get tires with stretched sidewalls, I can probably get away with no spacers up front. With vertical/flush or slightly larger (bulged) sidewalls I'd get 5-10mm spacers to make sure the tires clear the coilovers.

I'm not slamming the car, and I don't plan on drifting it... much. Any suggestions on tire size?

Z33dori · 02-01-2008, 04:26 PM

235 front
275 rear

SoSideways · 02-01-2008, 04:30 PM

Something that's slightly stretched will be the only way you can flush out those wheels w/o hitting the fenders.

For a 9.5, something like a 235/40 would be perfect. Friend of mine 235/40/18s on his 18x9.5 Work Meister S1s and they look sick.

Here's his car:

He converted to just driving on rotors to get as low as possible.

ms!3 · 02-01-2008, 06:28 PM

Z33dori · 02-01-2008, 06:30 PM

I can't fit my finger in between my wheel and coilovers, no rubbing.

jookybanana · 02-01-2008, 08:09 PM

18x9.5 +12 ~6mm gap, it doesn't rub

some t57-rc's 17x9 +12, 18x9.5 +12 (have 5mm spacers on, so +7 on all)
and 215/40 tires
