You can run those sizes on stock bodied S13 chassis if you like 4" of contact patch.

They obviously have no idea what they're doing then.
I'm in the process of fitting 18x11 -16 with 245/40/18 with 30mm fenders.

not really hommie,roll and pull.people just assume alot without actually trying things out.i didnt think it would fit either but it did.i was just giving him insight from experience to the situation since ive been there and have done almost the same exact size/offset.so when you tried it what size did you try and not have it work?or were you just assuming like almost everyone else on this thread that gives advice?

[obarrera]

I asked this a couple days ago but didn't get an answer so I'll try again.
What do you all think about 18X9.5(front) -1 with 25mm front fenders, and 18X10(rear) +5 with 30mm rear over fenders? I want to run around -3 camber in the rear, would it be flush or sunken?? Any suggestions??

Thanks!

RULES.

17x10 +12 with 225/45 on stock body with small roll/pull, not crazy wheels or crazy offset but for my daily/track car it works for me

I just finished reading all 132 pages -

My definition of flush (and style) has completely changed.

And answered pretty much every question I ever could have asked.

Shit is awesome

[g-via]

how long did that take you?

They say they can fit it problem is that i would be dailing in at least -4 camber in the rear and with barley any contact patch but when i look at other rides with -4 camber i see about half or more contact patch

[Slammed180]

How the fuck is it -4*?? with 50mm fenders?
Something doesn't seem right.

Once the toe links and foward links and control arms we'll see how much im really dailing in after the alignment really hoping it wont be -4 im aiming for a -3 if i can

[240sxdriftin]

finnally able to put my 18's up front today, still rubbing the coilover with a 8mm spacer, i have new fenders on the way that are 30mm wide, and i have 20mm spacers for them, the fenders in the picture, are slightly wider than stock

wheel specs.
18x10+22 8mm spacer (effective +14 offset) 225/40/18 feddys
unsure of the camber.

yeah man thats b.s. (no contact patch).you would have to be totally knee-knocked to have a small patch like that.if you trying to go for pimp fitment ,and judging from what you've got and where youre going with this there are going to be some sacrifices to be made.so you've got to decide if your going to be a square tire roadracer or stretch/flush panty dropper!!!

I'd like to see some rear pictures of an 18x11 on a pulled body S13. I've got 18x11 -10 that is going under 50mm Origin rears and when I jacked up the car the wheel is 1-2" outside the fender if I were running 0 camber (which I wont). But then again Im going for a flush fit with a 2* camber on a slightly stretched tire. You can have flush fitting wheels without loads of camber and stretch, just depends on the look you are going for. But I think people get the idea "flush" only comes when running too large of wheels and stretching a 235 on a 11" wheel and cambering the piss out of it. For example I would consider Gracer's 305 tires fit flush with his body.

Judging from your corner light and your mirror you have a S14? I'm running a 17X10 +7 with a 240/40 and the front fenders are just hammered, not even rolled all the way. I don't have any rubbing issues at all and my camber is somewhere between -2 and -2.5. Your wheel looks like it pokes a lot more then mine too, do you have anything strange done to your hubs? Like an adjustable LCA that makes the track wider or anything?



Scottie, I agree with you. Granted I have a 255/40 on a 11 on my S14, I'm only running -2 camber and have had to just pull my fenders. What are you planning on running for your S13? Since you have 18s maybe a 275/30/18?

first of all you CANNOT jack up you car and put a wheel on it to see if you wheels will fit.the geometry of the suspension changes when the suspension is under load(the top of the wheel will come in).second i totally agree with you on gracers car VERY kickass!!thirdly this term off flushness is all relative.everybodies ideah will be a little different,so it really just depends on what the person ie trying to go for.
my bad rules...
18x11.5-9 w/255-35

yeah i have a s14, i should have stated that, and no, i dont have any modification to my hubs or LCA, it is all stock, i dont know why it pokes so much, i think i'm going to notch my coilovers and give it some more camber.
