Got it, thanks. one piece wheel (AME circular spec r)

215/40 sounds a tad tall tho. if that doesnt work ill try a 205/40 or a 215/35

215 or 225/35 if you plan driving low! i run a 215/35 and have clearance for days

I went ahead and ordered the 10.5 because they are only 5 dollars more lol, and the 9.5's are back ordered for a few more months so if i cant make it work ill just reorder.

atomicguy7 · 12-02-2011, 08:28 PM

I wanna run a 18x11 in +0 or lower for rear, how much pull am i going to need on my zenki?

rather not do over fenders, i mean I can but dont wanna cut up my car lol

or what is like the maxxxxx width rim for the rear, im thinking 18x11 -12 and a pull would be ok

Dustxking · 12-02-2011, 08:37 PM

Pretty sure you will need a max load of camber. And a super good roll/pull job with a real fender roller.

atomicguy7 · 12-02-2011, 08:42 PM

well i have someone who can do a good pull.....hmm

i can get my hands on some vx ss's for a decent price so

90240sx07 · 12-02-2011, 10:32 PM

you could probably do a 18x10 +0 or a lil bit more negative but a x 11 -12 is pushing some limits

atomicguy7 · 12-02-2011, 10:36 PM

Yea well im rocking 10's in the rear, ill do some test fitting with washers lol either way im going to have the rear pulled about 1" or 25mm

95KA-Turbo · 12-03-2011, 11:10 AM

If you don't mind running like -3 or 4 camber and running a 235/40 you can make it fit no problem.

My 17X11 -1 with 245/40 and -1.4 camber required a fuck ton of work.

kalypso123 · 12-03-2011, 11:21 AM

understated pull... hot sauce.

90240sx07 · 12-03-2011, 02:48 PM

Question
17x10 +20 front and rear s13 hatch while not being slammed but pretty close tire to fender low fit up front without tubing or should i tub it while i can

Dustxking · 12-04-2011, 09:52 AM

+20 offset isnt much of a offset thats going to stick out to far. yes your running at 10 wide but you should be able to run a 215/45 or even a 235/45 if your not wanting to be slammed and just get handy with a fender roller and you shouldnt have much work to do.

*fliprayzin240sx* · 12-04-2011, 10:36 AM

Again...10j +20 fronts wont clear coilovers. Depending on what it is will dictate how much spacers you'd need to clear. I didn't clear 10J +12s on Megan Racing Coilovers, had to throw another 8mm on it.

90240sx07 · 12-04-2011, 10:48 AM

Thanks guys for the info and ill keep spacers in mind and coilover choice with better clearance

zooopreme · 12-04-2011, 11:13 AM

^Megan Racing offers lower mounts that allow wheel/coilover clearance but I really HATE Megans with a passion. If Fortune Auto offered a product similar product, I'd be on it. No doubt.

rob3725 · 12-04-2011, 11:50 AM

Just got some new +20mm 18x9.5 rota p45rs for my s14 running kyb shocks and tein springs not sure what direction to go on tires though.

90240sx07 · 12-04-2011, 02:31 PM

235/40/18 would be my suggestion

sldwayz1 · 12-04-2011, 04:05 PM

In reference to wheel fitment i have 17x9 17x10 +20 all around and megan coils what part of the coil do i lower to get the rim closer to the fender i have overs do i lower the actual coil or mess with the preload 235 45 17 rear 235 40 17 front im stumped searched for a while any help would be great might be in the wrong thread lmk

zooopreme · 12-05-2011, 12:43 PM

^you didn't read the instruction manual did you.

How to lower your car (on most coilovers) for dummies:
-Lower mounts until collars for lower mount & spring perch touch or until desired height is achieved. If not enough, proceed to step 2.
-Remove lower mount collar & raise lower mount. If STILL not enough, proceed to step 3.
-Remove another collar & raise the lower mount. If STILL not enough, proceed to step 4.
-Mess with preload & have fucked up ride but achieved desired height. If STILL not enough, cut your springs.

Volcom887 · 12-05-2011, 05:12 PM

rim fitment on my s14 with work meisters!?!?!?! help please!!!!!!!!!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i want perfect fitment on stock fenders

s14 zenkiii

im going 18x10.5 rear with +11 offset o disk

and i cant decide on the front.....

18x9.5 + 12 r disk (for calipers)
or
18x9.5 -1 r disk still

i would like to ideal run o disk on all 4.... but im going to run big breaks and i dont know if they will clear? maybe with spacers... i can run a

18x9.5 +11 o disk and throw some spacers on?

what one will fit better cuz i cant find anything around... + dont really have time to look

but can somebody help me out please?

this is how my car sits now

i want a little more poke and more flush

im sitting 18x9.75 +20 all around
8 mm spacer rear and 5 mm spacer front...

idk what my camber is prolly around -2 in the rear and idk front

95KA-Turbo · 12-05-2011, 08:50 PM

If you don't want to do much of a pull or run smaller tires go with the 9.5 +11. That will sit the same as your current set up.

The -1 will sit 12-13mm further out. Looks like you are running 225/40s in that picture (could be wrong) but if you ran 215s and could add a little camber it could fit.

The 10.5 +11 will sit out 11mms from your current set up, so that would keep it even.

The 9.5 +5 would be 6mm more aggressive then your current set up. You'll still have to adjust tire size, camber, or fender work to make it fit on your fender like your current set up.

9.5 +5 is completely doable on stock fenders with a 225/40, but if you are worried about clearance get a 215.

Yeah about 11mms more so.

soflacoupe · 12-06-2011, 12:09 PM

Question... Will a 17 x 9 + 20 rim fit a s13. All around.. or will I have to run spacers in the front?

zooopreme · 12-06-2011, 12:17 PM

^

17x9 +20 on S13

Kwolfe · 12-06-2011, 02:35 PM

What do you guys think of 17x9 +35 F and 17x10 +20 R on an s13 hatch, right now it's slammed on 16's so I'm sure I'll have to raise it up some. I'm looking for a pretty flush stance with maybe -2 or -3 camber. Will I need spacers? Will it fit in the first place? And what about tires? Right now my JIC's are as stiff as possible and I don't rub the 16's.

You'll need a 15mm spacer up front (you could run a 20mm with my tire suggestion), no spacer in the rear.

I'd recommend a 215/40 up front and a 235/40 out back.

If you only wanted to run a 15mm spacer over the 20mm up front go with a 215/45 but it will limit how low you can be because S13s are pretty limited for space and a 215/45 is just tall enough to keep you from really slamming it.

You may need a slight pull out back, but if you're going to run ~-3 camber you should be able to fit it.
