Maximum TIRE(Rubber) fitment thread

[a_ahmed]

This thread is for people with s chassis cars who own or know someone who owns s chassis car(s) with maximum rubber and maximum wheel width for grip in mind -- whether this be for street or track or both.

It's for the slowly growing crowd of enthusiasts who are more swayed towards lapping/maximum grip from their car as opposed to drift or looks. Those who own their car and attempt to make their car meet or exceed the performance of modern sports cars, supercars heck even hypercars... whether they just have a street car and do it for personal achievement or race it at the track. Whatever this may be to you if you are someone who likes to see/have/drive on with 255 on an 8.5", 275/285 on a 10", 3xx on a 11"/12", etc... please post. The ever growing small crowd and trend needs it's own recognition... we need to change the stereotype that S chassis cars are only good for the slammed look or drift. It's unfortunately a small crowd but people don't know what they are missing.

To give you guys an idea of the beauty of what this thread is attempting to do ... I will honor two of the best known S chassis cars out there.

One belonging to j-rho and one belonging to aceinthehole, I admire both cars and owners and they have given me alot of inspiration to take my time to rebuild my s13 for better things in mind one more time

__________________________________________________________________________

Aceinthehole: 285/30/18 on 18x10 front (I should let him do the post himself hope he doesn't mind, he needs no introductions)
















__________________________________________________________________________

J-rho's S13 (another s chassis hero he needs no introduction - but his car sure needed the bn blister widebody :P)

285/30R18 F on 18x11
315/30R18 R on 18x12.5






Needs a bn blinster widebody!

For those curious how my car looked when I first restored it:

Car when purchased for 800$ almost undrivable:


Parts that were slowly piling up before restoration:


After the car was all put back together for the first time:







As things stand right now however, my car is completely stripped and I intend to redo it all over again, I'm just slowly again collecting parts, I know what I want, but can't afford it time/money wise at the moment, I have family priorities but I do love this hobby and my car But I love my family first

Yes I know, I don't have fat rubber or wheels, but this is just for those who were bitching attacking me if I even own an S chassis car/etc...

__________________________________________________________________________
As a note:
The last thread went to poo, but I spoke to ThatGuy and he said lets keep it civilized and peaceful -- it'll be cool. Lets not start a retarded war, we are all 240 owners. As soon as I created the other thread people started jumping, bitching and negging. So what? Some people are sick of the slammed/stretched/whatever look. No need for drama... get over it. I acted a little immature myself by buying into the stupid neg reps/hate/stupid comments and saying stupid things back.

But lets make it clear! If you want the stretched and slammed, -10 camber, -100 offset, 100mm spacers, 4" lowered frame scraping, 195 on a 9" 265 on a 12" look and want to prove yours is better and more pimp than the next guy go to the following two links, they are threads related to that trend.

http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=136032&page=13

http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=129865

The point of this thread is to have a thread for people who are NOT for the above and who recognize the above as what they are sick of seeing, because it's turning 240s into the civics of the 90s.... and thus are against this trend... but they are still s chassis owners but are not for drift or show, but instead interested in extracting maximum grip performance out of the s chassis cars... something that the s chassis car was always stated as being incapable of.

To make another thing very clear! In those two stretch/slammed/whatever threads if you post something that is 'not stretched enough' or not slammed/flush enough, you get negged for it, made unwelcome, called names, etc... because you're not cool enough lol... Likewise in this thread, the same applies vice versa. Don't come into here to bitch about it. Go to those two threads instead if you want what was mentioned that this thread is not about instead. Leave the grip/maximum rubber thread alone, no hurt feelings for anyone, no drama, just love

SO LETS KEEP IT PEACEFUL...!

[KA24DESOneThree]

You didn't put down Jason's tire/wheel sizes, which are:
285/30R18 F on 18x11
315/30R18 R on 18x12.5

Don at PDM was running 275/40R17 on the front of his hatch.

[a_ahmed]

My bad, sorry I did not know j-rho's specs, I also don't know aceinthehole's complete specs, so I just mentioned the front sizes as best as I knew. I wouldn't mind if he posted himself here. I just wanted to give people an idea of what this thread is about. If people make their own post, lets follow the format I mentioned in the beginning of the first post. My bad

And thank you

And yes as far as memory recalls when Don ran the 5zigen 17x10+12 wheels (with I think 8mm spacers) he was running 275/40/17 on the front... but 275/40/17 is quite tall so it took him alot of work to get it working... 285/30/18 is almost absolutely perfect, its 2mm taller than stock.

no clue on sizes, not my cars. can we get a sticky as well?

[GabeS14]

What are the spcs in the rear of the S14?
do you also know the size rims in the pic where the car is lifted and no tires?

[Slidin240Wayz]

This makes great sense.

Grip diving is fun.

FWIW the front S14 allows 17x9+20 without rubbing coilover. The rest can be calculated on the wheel spec calculator.

whats the wides set of tires and rims set i can go with for a stock fender S13 on coils. If it has to be a rolled or pulled a little its cool. just trying 2 c what i can do without buying over fenders yet.

^I believe one guy with a silver sil80 runs 17x9+20 with 245/40/17 and it's pretty flush with stock fenders. Looks hot too and its an awesome track car I hope he posts in here Not sure if anyone else rocks the stock fenders and more rubber though. Time will tell. I intend to get aftermarket fenders anyways

YOUR CHASSIS: S14

WHEELS: 5zigen, FN01RC, 17x9 +15, 17x10 +12

TIRES: 255/40/17 front, 315/35/17 rear (not pictured, but now using Nitto 555R DRs)

MISC DETAILS: Chargespeed overfenders 20mm & 50mm. Power ~350whp

PURPOSE OF CAR: street/drag







Most people don't even notice the tires because of how clean the widebody is... with higher offset I could stuff some 335s back there.

[KA24DESOneThree]

You have a drag car. Why do you have 255s up front?

Let's keep this pure, people. NO 205s/215s/225s/235s. Everyone and their mother can rock those on an S13 with no fender modifications at all, and they all happen to be on the small side.

YOUR CHASSIS: S13 coupe

WHEELS: Volk CE28N 17x9 +15
Volk TE37 17x9 +15

TIRES: Bridgestone Potenza RE01-R 245/40R17

MISC DETAILS: Suspension work. Rolled and pulled fenders. Camber at ~3.2* front, ~2.5* rear or something similar. Modified inner seam and pounded out wheel well. Note: +15 won't work in the front of an S13 if you're running KTS coilovers or similar and a 255 width tire. The tire rubs on the perches. The clearance is minimal at +10, but it does not rub.

PURPOSE OF CAR: Street/Track

PICTURES: None of the fitment. The front tires are under the fenders, the rear stick out a bit because a fellow 240er stole my roller.

The only reason I posted this is because people always are asking if 245s or 9s will fit in the front of a 240, despite the fact that there are many, many instances of tires and wheels as big or bigger fitting easily.

[MrChow]

^^^ like that rule about tire sizes.

3.2 camber???

[LB.Motoring]

So he put on flares on the front, but didnt cut out the metal fender?

[godzillarb]

The car spends more time on the street than at the track so stopping power is important.

plus it would shitty with 225's up front and 315's in the rear.

[KA24DESOneThree]

Around -3.2* camber, MrChow. I'm not sure what it is right now, as the car's been futzed with a bit in its downtime.

LB- He has rules to follow.

[hustlervibes]

Nothing special over here but decently wide?

225/40/18 f (going 245/40/18)
255/35/18 r (going 275/35/18)

With NISMO LM GT4 350Z/G35 offsets
18x8.5 +25 f
18x9.5 +30 r (i know they're weak offsets for NISMOs)

Just lowered on springs currently and don't rub anything with no fender mods

Quick comment just my opinion only but some of these cars are just plain ugly,yes I know this thred is not about looks . Thats not a flame or anything just my opinion. Next year Im gonna go up to 18s with a 230/650-18 F & a 270/650/18 R on 18x9with 20mm front wide fenders & 30mm rear overfenders,then cut & move the rear shocktower up,kinda like a body drop. O YEA

fenders getting worked on as we speak...

[SuicidnS13]

Awesome thread, but I dont think people should be posting up pics of tires narrower than a 255 series. Especially in the rears! Post up rear end shots showing how wide your actual contact patch is-

[a_ahmed]

Let 235/245 be the absolute minimum It's okay, like 235 rt615 are wider than most 235 for example... so its alright but this thread should be for 245+ folks It's okay I am quite happy with the postings so far It should encourage more people

PURPOSE OF CAR: autox. buying groceries. picking up grand ma

PICTURES: sorry. car is ugly anyway. lol

NOTES:
rear wheel is a def sunk, but the tire is right up against the fender. to go wider would prob require changing something up.
front could probably go wider. i went from 225/40 to 245/40 and i feel theres still a bit room for more without changing anything.

edit: nvm what i said about the rear. i checked today and there is tons of room for more. i could jam my index finger in there no problem. at least 1-1.5 inches more clearance available.

People:
Please keep in mind that this thread is about maximum rubber and wheel fitment. It is NOT a picture thread for your tame rubber on small wheels.

It is not a "post a picture of your soon-to-be wheel setup next to your car."
We don't care about your drag radials or your R-compounds unless they're on the car. Fitment doesn't matter if the wheel/tire isn't actually mounted to the car.

Everyone and their mother has fit a 225 under stock fenders, it's nothing new.

Let's keep this thread as unadulterated as possible.
