No it doesn't help.Without offsets its virually useless.

[Vicious Beaner!]

Need some opinions guys .I have a stock s13 coupe . has fortune auto coilovers already . I'll be buying some gramlights 57dr soon just can't decide on the sizing . I've looked at some examples but would a 18x9.5+12 rub at full lock? Or should I do 17x9+12 to be safe. . now for the rear its either 18x9.5+12 or 10.5+22. Want to keep it stock bodied with just a little roll or pull getting rid of all the wheel gap. Any info or inputs would be greatly appreciated guys .

[d_nice]

^^^you can do 18x9.5+12 with a 215/35 dont rub on front and in the back i have 10.5+22 with 235-40 no rubbing but you have to do a roll and pull in both ...hope that helps

[Vicious Beaner!]

Will an 18x9.5+12 on a 225/40 clear ? My main concern is rubbing the harness on full lock. Im sure a 215 will clear but IMO its too much of a stretch for me . maybe even 225/35?

I'm running a 235/40/17 on a 9.5w/+12. It's tight on the coilover but works. Move the harness?

not sure if this 100% fits this thread, but semi related. i have PBM adjustable spacers on the front. using the 20mm bolt on, and then 7mm slip on (the 5mm and 2mm) with xxr wheels. since the spacer is hubcentric, thats all good. but the wheel is also hubcentric, but the other side of the spacer is not. as i'm sure you guys can guess, bad things happen at speed. is there some fix for this? machine a ring that would center on the spacers?

[fliprayzin240sx]

Honestly, I've never used hub centric spacers and have never had any vibration issues. I always just make sure my slip ones are centered by feeling it around the hub. I'm on extended studs and running 2 10mm stacked slip ons.

what would you guys suggest for tires and spacers for a 17x7.5 konig backbone wheel? im not sure what the offset is on the wheel. i want a tire with a little bit of meat on it but not too tall. also dont want to be "hellaflush" just want to fill the wheel well up a bit better and have clearance from my coilovers.

Holy Honda wheels, Batman! Gonna need huge spacers on those. Googling for about 5 seconds revealed that those come in either +35 or plus +45 offset, as typical of FWD wheels. A 25mm hubcentric spacer should help, but I'd highly recommend a wheel that actually fits, like a 17x9+20 with 245/40 rubber.

i havent found a set of wheels that i like that come in 17x9 as of yet. all of the ones i have found are 17x7-17x8

You have these...but can't find similarly styled wheels that has better fitment?


You're kidding me right?

17x9 & greater wheels damn near grow on trees, dude. If you need suggestions, this is the place to ask.

[K crazy]

I have 15mm and 38mm spacers with built in adapters. Ichiba V2's for sale. If anyone of you guys are interested to fix your fitment issues.

[STR3TCH]

Just picked up 18x9 +25 for the front and 18x10.5 +25 for rear. Is anyone running the same or similar set up? What tires are you going with? Thanks!

Sounds good but you can run wider if you want a meatier look since you'd have more space.

[STR3TCH]

You think just a good roll and maybe a slight pull in the rear?

[fliprayzin240sx]

With the stretched 235, you probably wont even need to pull.

[frsh4]

Wow my thread got to put in the sticky section!!!
thanks you guys, keep to good info coming. I hope to be back here soon with my BRZ when its ready!


If anybody on here has info on the brz/frs it'd be cool if i can get some help fitting my old rezaxll. They're 18x9/10 +14 ima have to get adapters so they will become +4 all around. Ima got with same tire size as my s13 215/35 and 225/40 i think with a roll the fenders should be cool. any info would help im kinda confused with the fitments for this car.

[VNG704]

Aren't those frs 5x100? if the rezax are from your 240 you'll need conversion adapters not just spacers. Unless that was what you meant then...yea.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Shitty part about BRZs...5x100, worst than 4x113.4.

[vJilly]

18x9 +12 on stock s13 metal. i know a roll will be necessary but want a good flush fitment. what tire size? 225/40? wanna be pretty low.

[corkscrew]

or a 215/40. thats what i have on my 17x9.5s and im almost tucking in the rear

[TheRealSy90]

Trying to figure out what tires to run on my new wheels. Ordered 50mm rear overs. 17x10+0 17x11 +6 Would like a stretched tire, but with overs on the rear I don't really need to stretch it I guess. Planning on tucking a little rim out back.

[frsh4]

Ya my adapters are gonna me it +4 all around on a brz.

[dnice78]

Hey guys, just picked up a set of Fabulous Profounds. They are 18x9.5+18 and 18x11 +24 I'm running Origin 40mm up front and unknown overs in the rear (assuming 30mm?) Both wheels need to be spaced out a bit.... What do you recommend? (for a spacer setup and tires)


How it sits with current eurolines @ 17x8/9 +38

[joshchewuhh]

going to get tires in my rear of s13 with roll and pull. Wheel size is 17x10 +20.

Currently running 17x9 +12 with 215/45 and i like the bigger sidewall in the rear. Camber is -2.5 and id like it to stay at that.

Now should I run 225/45 or 235/40. Tires will be federal 595 as they are my drift spares.

[slideslidegnarslide]

I have an s13 with a minor pull. Wheels are 17x9.5 +12 I originally wanted 215 40r17 but I'm thinking about michilen pilot super sports. They only come in 215 45r17 and I'm afraid it may be a little too much side wall. Opinions?
