Wheel fitment whore thread (Stretch/Flush)

[rightcoastimports]

I just ordered some spacers off m2 tuning.. saw the advertisement here.. anyone have any experience with them??

with 265/30/19 on the rear of my s14 (stock fenders rolled not pulled) am i going to be able to fit 5mm spacers and tuck???

[S13_OneVia]

Here's mine
Work XD9's 17x9.5 +17mm offset
Hankook RS2 235/40's all around

would be hard to tuck fronts since pulled the crap out of the fenders, and didn't do it smoothly, i'll get some new fenders and do a roll and add camber

this has been posted already but heres some

better quality piks

hi, i got directed here for asking if 17x9 +20 fn01r-c's will require fender pulling/rolling/hammering.
maybe anybody can help here?

I've already been advised to simply pull my fenders when they won't fit, but thats not exactly what i need to know.

I want to keep my fenders stock.
5zigen fn01r-c 17x9 +20 w/ 235/40 in the back, lowered by 40mm.
any fender work necessary, yes or not?

You're going to have to roll your fenders with that size.

Keeping your fenders stock is pointless. Rolling them opens new doors in terms of wheel fitment, alignment, and running larger tires.

thanks for the reply. finally a straight answer.

I'd rather go with 17x8 in the rear and a 10mm spacer then.
I'm kinda limited here in germany performance-wise, so I would probably never exceed horsepower or cornering speeds which would require bigger wheels than 235/40 which would fit on 8" i guess.

I'm torn between the fn01rc 17x9 +20 and the 17x8 +35 +spacers wheels for the rear. damn that theres no other 4-lug fitment like 17x8.5 +30 or so

UGH! Don't do that... Just roll the fenders dude, it's not that hard.

[christophv]

I've already been told, but that's not the question.

"tuning" (as car modding is generally called here) has a bad reputation, so when the day of selling my S13 comes in like three years, I would probably get 500-1000$ less for my car because of the modifications done to the body. no joke.
plus (and now i'll prolly get beat up here) I'm not too keen on this whole import-tuner-f&f-dori-biatch-jdm-tyte-thing. I like stock bodies with fender lips, mild side-skirts, nice exhaust, racey-light rims and track-setup-suspension, that kind of stuff.

[FaLKoN240]

People actually check for rolled fenders out there?

Most wouldn't even be able to tell...

[christophv]

only a very very very very very smooth roll looks ok to me.
on a previous page:

this small radius looks.. not good to me (sorry owner, only my very humble opinion), and this is 17x9 +12, so +20 would require a slightly smaller roll which probably wouldnt be in my interest

do you know the difference between rolling vs. pulling fenders? so rolling fenders is a import tuner thing now? thats news to me.

You do realize a roll is totally different from a pull right? A roll just rolls the lip up flat to the underside of the fender, not visible from the outside. A pull actually pulls the metal outward, making a "flared" look.

That's a pull, NOT a ROLL. 18x9.5 +25 245/40/18

This is ROLL. You can't tell from looking at the outer sheet metal.

[WhiteTE72GT]

13x8 -5 advan a3a only rolled fenders

[christophv]

ok, I thought the difference between a rolled fender and a pulled fender is the "magnitude" if you can follow me. probably a translation issue, "rollen" is german for the action you would do to pull a fender then. sorry.

nevertheless, http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...d/mycar1-1.jpg - a lot of pull, more than 8mm i guess, so +20 would require pulling, right?

[allntrlundrgrnd]

more pics^^ shit looks gnarly

he might be running little to no camber, upslidedown is running 18x10 +18 on a 235/40 i think in the rear only on a roll, 9 +20 is gonna stick out less than that, so you can fit it with some camber.

[christophv]

I wouldnt run more than 2°, more will worsen breaking abilities and also slightly cornering speeds, long story short, its just unuseful. I'm far too rationalistic to do more than, say, 2.2° of camber. Ive seen wheels with lower offsets than +20 which didnt require pulling and also wheels with higher offsets that did require pulling.
damn i don't know, i need to find out how much space is between stock tire sidewalls and the fender edge, then i could calculate if i'd need a pull

That's an example of a pull, his car isn't that low, so the pull looks even crazier, I think you can get away with a ROLL and a PULL (like that one) isn't necessary.

[Bushido]

^ not trying to hate, but that really looks like shit and a pull that big isn't necessary to fit those wheels. Nothing looks worse than a huge pull for wheels that don't need it.

dude, you're over analyzing it. 17x9 +20 with 225/40/17. hammer your inner fender lips flat, don't pull. you'll be fine.

I agree with your first statement, more lower and more spacer that would look cool.

225/40/17 is a hard tire size to find.
