Not in this case; OE Wheels is the company that makes knock off wheels for mustangs, vettes, etc. (not to be confused with Original Equipment)

[cdlong]

ha! i stand corrected.

[Grimace]

WOO, I can finally join this thread. Prepped the car for the new wheels. 275/40/17 up front . Wheel specs are 17x9 +26, The car is on KYB AGX struts, With Eibach pro springs.

[SuicidnS13]

Nice how did you clear the 275's? Fenders?

Mine in the rear currently-

Before Stance Coils-



After (This is way lower than I thought it was going to be and didnt have time to adjust it higher but still dope)


18 x 9 +24 Rear +9 Fronts (15mm spacer)
245/40 fronts and 275/35 rears

[brunswick240]

Those 275s look awesome on the hotwheels. rear pic?

[SuicidnS13]

Once I get the suspension dialed in ill push the car outside for more pics. That was just my teasar. The rb isnt in the car yet.

[PyroTecK]

i think i finally have something worth posting on here.
specs are:

F - 17x9+24 effective (3mm spacer)
R - 17x9+27
245/40/17s all four corners
stock metal rolled slight pull
alignment specs = all fked up (getting it sorted out next week)

i could deff go wider in the back so once these are done ill step it up a bit, i was concerned w/ the front since alot of people told me i wouldnt be able to fit 245's in the front. clearances are pretty tight... maybe 1mm between the wheel and the spring perch.

I haven't yet, The deal for the rear wheels fell threw so im stuck with only 2 wheels right now . After I sort out a couple of other things ill be buying another 2 from the dealer.

The rears clear easy, As you know. Just a little roll. The Kouki front is a little wider then the Zenki's. If you roll them right, You're golden.

You probably couldn't get away with this much offset with coilovers though. Do you agree?

Yeah, Coilovers would have problems. But nothing that couldn't be over come. Slap on a spacer and roll the fender a little more. No big deal.

255/50/16 MT D/R on stock z32 rims. Think I'll have to do any roll/spacers?

Just for reference, these fit w/o any spacers. I did have to roll the top of the fender though due to the car squatting enough when in full boost to make the tire rub.

Here are a few test fitment pics. 18x9.5 +23 MB Battles wrapped with 255/35/18 Nankang tires. Hopefully I can get the suspension adjusted, fenders rolled and aligned in the next two weeks.







Cheers!!

[gottdeskrieges]

Been reading this thread and was wondering if you guys could give me your advice. Tire fitment on rims on a s13 hatch w/ 2jz approx hp around should be 600 on pump.

18x8.5 +35 F and 18x10.5 +35 R

widest tires i can put on front/rear with roll/shave.
Spacers needed? I have z32 f/r calipers, tanabe coils as well.



Thanks in advance and im still looking over this thread as well as others.

YOUR CHASSIS: s13

WHEELS: XXR 507's, 18x8.5 +35 18x9.5 +35

TIRES: Toyo Proxes R888 245/40ZR18 275/35ZR18

MISC DETAILS: 96 KADE, Tein SS Coilovers, Q45 Front Brakes

PURPOSE OF CAR: Both, this is my track set

PICTURES: So, i cant say that these actually "fit", but they are what i would consider "maximum" LOL

I will need to raise the rear suspension, and most likely will require a slight fender pull to clear these 275's.

[DeadlyZ33]

^^ nice tires, shame about those rims tho, hopefully gonna grab some R888's soon too for my z.

[Zacho]

I know its not S-chassis but oh well. R32 GTR

18x10.5 with effective 15 offset. 295 Hoosier A6's all around.

The fenders are rolled completely flat but not pulled. Looks absolutely un fucking real from behind if you are driving behind it. The green wheels just don't look good in photos. If you saw them in person they look 10x better.

[xs240]

Then take some rear pix hehe

[bblack_91240]

^^^ I second that!! Lets see that backside

[Nismo240R]

mehsilvia: WOW, thats looks like MAX fitment on an S13 w/ Stock fenders, I dont think I've seen that lol

[moonshinekouki]

guys whats an ideal tire size for a s14 running
F: 19x10 -6 (High Disk)
R: 19x12 -12 (Low Disk)
5x114.3 for daily driving?
with fender flares of 30mm in the front and about 50 mm in the rears they are bings.ca fenderflares.

thanks
mikey

[xs240]

Uhm.. 'daily driving'... well... i dont know about inner clearance someone will help but ideally a 10" wide tire should fit a 275 wide tire or 285 wide tire...
A 12" wide tire should be able to fit a 335 wide tire...

If you want to know how to stretch such wild wheels, wrong thread

I dont think this thread (maximum tire) and your wheels specs, dont exactly go together. With trying to fit/clear wide tires.

Usually wide tires for our cars are gonna be on wide wheels like yours but not with such negative offsets, that would be sticking out wayyyy past the fender, more then necessary.
