wheel question (searched already) - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Raysurc · 04-07-2005, 11:38 PM

so i have a 1993 240sx coupe. Im contemplating about getting new wheels, preferably 18". im asking if these will fit on a stock body (no rolling fenders or whatever), because i've searched the forums, and see that most people have setups with 17" instead (i wonder why). i read that for s13's, you can have 8" wide wheels infront and 10" wide in the back. so, on a stock s13 body, could i fit 18x8 wheels in the front, and 18x10 wheels in the back?

correct me if im wrong, i wanna know the right information.

with an 18x10, NOPE. It wont fit without some fender modification.

But i dont get why you dont want to roll your fenders? You cant tell from the outside that anything has changed and its EASY to do. Hell, i rolled mine with a half inch drive.... +1 for ghetto ingenuity!

Just roll them already...

if u dont want to do any modding what so ever the ONLY rims that require no spacers or rolling or anything are the FN's 5 spokes by 5zigen in the 17x7 front and 17x8 and you can run a 45 or 40 profile tire. if u want 18's the ur just rice and you will not be able to fit them in cuz of their size and only nitto shit comes in a 30 profile that may just fit...

so the widest i can fit on a s13 is 7" infront and 8" in back? but i read some posts before off people going wider(not sure if they rolled the fenders tho).

i'll post a picture of my car soon...just because.

ah! my thinking about fenders being pulled/rolled were wrong. i though "pulling" the fender and "rolling" the fender meant the same thing. so the way i take it. rolling the fender means flattening the little stub inside the fender (lip?) and pulling the fender makes the car visually have more of a wider stance

"correct me if im wrong"

ok.... so say i ROLL my fenders. whats the widest i can fit on the fron and back ( 7/8)? 18" still a question or am i sticking with 17"?

**Phlip** · 04-08-2005, 08:02 PM

Hell, why not pull and roll the fenders and put some 20s on that bish if you are just looking to get as big as you can and spend a shitload on tires?

Raysurc · 04-09-2005, 12:01 AM

im only shooting for up to 18" as the biggest.
