are federal 595's really that sticky?
i would have guessed the opposite, since the drift fans seem to like them. either that or they just stretch well. since that's totally a good measure of a tire's worth and all... *edit* just saw the "RS" part of the 595 designation. i'm guessing that's a more "stick-oriented" tire than the generic 595? lol |

i think drifters like them because they don't fall apart when they are (over)heated. but i'm not a drifter so don't take that as gospel.

quick question. how would the fzigen fn's 17X10 +12 fit on the back of an S13, stock body?
EDIT: i plan on running 275/40/17, would i be better off with a higher offset? |

depends on the offset and ride height and camber settings.
to Devens240, though.. 17x10+25's will NOT clear the coils on an s13 (front) without a rather large spacer. at least 15mm. they will fit on the back though, for sure. |

I plan on buying a pair of +25 FN's to so they clear and I can run -1.5* to 2* neg camber for better handling/ long tire life. |

in you guys' opinion(s), what are some of the best of the inexpensive grippy tires. i want to put something pretty sticky on my daily, but i dont want anything with a really low treadwear rating, and i'd rather not spend a couple hundred on each tire, either. |

Hey guys im in Devens240' boat. I really dont want to get overfenders for the front.
Would 17x8.5 with I guess a bigger offset than +20 with an azenis 615 255/40/17 with a 5 or 10mm spacer work on the front with a little camber. Or does the size of the rim not matter that much? And sorry for the newbie question but what does it mean to pull your fenders? Last edited by moses; 10-21-2008 at 02:40 PM.. Reason: forgot something |

Ppl don't usually run 8.5 because that's not as common as x8 or x9. EDIT: and to more fully answer your question, I've seen people run x9 +20 on the front w/ stock fenders, usually only 235's or so and a roll. For 255's, since you will balloon a bit w/ the sidewall, you'd want to slightly pull your fender if necessary depending on your ride height. And if you still don't know what that means, just search for "how to pull fenders" on here or google.

i don't think it would fit with stock fenders and -2 degrees or less camber. if you read my post, the 245/45/17's I have barely fit with the coilovers (approx. .25" clearance between coilover and flush with fender at -2 degrees camber).

I just put my buddies 17x8 +28 offset with a 245/40/17 on my s13 front and it came out a little less than an inch and that means if I put a 17x8.5 +28 offset with a 255 and that is +10mm. How far can I roll the front fenders without it looking too bad?
Does it make a difference at all in clearence if i go with a 8.5 rim or 9 inch rim in front? The calcuator says no but I just want to make sure. Last edited by moses; 10-24-2008 at 07:21 PM.. |

offset is more important than width, IMO. you can make a 10 fit where an 8 wont just by picking the right offset. me either, since you mentioned using a calculator. |

A 17x8 w/28 offset and 245 sticks out about 20mm in front with finger clearance.If I get a 17x8.5 w/ 255 I can go with the same offset and add a 5mm spacer. It would stick out about 26mm all together maybe more with the bigger tire. How bad would that be of a roll and pul in front?
