Hey guys, I'm looking to do a setup for HPDE. I want to run the same setup all around so I can rotate tires. I was looking at 17x8 all around or 17x9 all around. What size would you recommend? I also have Evo Brembo setup so what offset would be good without needing spacers?

SicBastard · 12-01-2010, 11:05 AM

At my old shop there were a ton of C6 guys swapping on Z06 rear fender flares and running 335/35/17s. They are a hell of a lot cheaper than any width in 19s or 18s. The epic Kumho Ecsta XS (UTQG 180) is only $211 in that size!

It's already been proven that 315/17s fit R&P stock s14 rear fenders, and tons of guys on here are running 20-50mm over fenders...

So why hasn't anyone done this yet?!

I think it's because for the most part 18's look better with out being super slammed and camber like crazy.

First of all I read through this thread and used the search function a few times but I apologize if I missed this already.

I've got an S13 hatch on Tein springs, I just picked up a set of 17x7 17.8 +15 all around wheels anyone know how much tire I can fit? The guy at the local tire shop is willing to mount up a few sizes so we can get the biggest but a ballpark to start at would be nice I'm hoping 225/40/17 and 245/40/17.

axiomatik · 12-02-2010, 06:36 AM

that's probably about as wide as you will be able to get. 215 is square on a 7 inch wheel.

How many 17's do you see that are wider than 10''???
I know they're out there. But a 17x11 or 12 or 13 isn't exactly common :P
There aren't many options for wide ass 17s... The biggest 2 options are CCWs or BBS's and re barreling them.
Or cut, widen, and weld a set like I'm doing over winter.

I disagree with the look part.
But like I said I think the reason is geared towards the fact that an 18x11 or 12 or 13 is 100000x easier to find than it's 17 counterpart.

Dabie305 · 12-02-2010, 01:44 PM

lol heres my s14. i got roids old wheels. its an 18x11.5 with i think -17 offset or something stupid like that out back with a 335 30 18 hoosier. heres how it fit bfr and after wide body. and also i had the stock quarters pulled/rolled way out bfr. like 30mm at least

atutt · 12-02-2010, 02:03 PM

bardabe · 12-03-2010, 09:58 PM

Anyone want to trade some wheels? I have a set of RPF1's 18X10.5 +15 in Silver. that i would like to trade for 18X9.5 +15 my wheels are Mint, they came off my 350Z. and I will be putting them in my S14 I just don't want to have to pull camber AND pull my fender to fit them. so that's why Im trading a pair of 10.5's for a pair of 9.5's wheels are mint. they are Silver. let me know if anyone is interested.

venom_5 · 12-08-2010, 01:09 PM

^ thanks ... car's gonna need a lot more than 265 unfortunately, afraid its gonna need overs and not just a pull

PyroTecK · 12-08-2010, 05:45 PM

Go with a higher offset, you can fit alot of tire under stock rear metal.

venom_5 · 12-08-2010, 07:37 PM

already got the wheels, and theyre not exactly ones that we will be able to find again in a different sizing ... i'm going to try to figure out the largest tire with a pull i can run without ridiculous camber, because if i have to run too much camber than i might as well run a smaller tire - gotta figure out where that line is drawn as well

i know people have fit 295+ on a stock body s14, but i dont know about on a +15 or how much camber they ran

corbin · 12-08-2010, 08:17 PM

More pics of the metal widebody S14? Is it done yet?

Dabie305 · 12-09-2010, 02:03 PM
