What is a good width&offset combo for front 18" wheels on a stock body s14? Trying to avoid spacers

Also would 18x8 +38 and 18x9 +38 fit without spacers?

[Roscoe.]

Anyone have any idea if I can pull the tears to fit an 18x11.5 -17 with a 265/35 on a Zenki S14? Or is that shit just overfender territory? Many thanks for any help.

[chucky norris]

I have some origin 50mm rear over fenders. I plan on running 18x11.5 +14 in the rear. How much camber would I need???

pretty sure you can run close to 0 with that assuming oyu're not running like 335s or something ridic

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD LUCK! that's going to be insane. you'll need to pull at least 2 inches to fit that.

I ran an 18x10.5 +6 on a s13 with 50mm fenders with zero camber. That was a 225/40/18 too. According to willtheyfit, yours are only like 4mm more poke and 20mm or so towards the struts. With a 235/40 or 35 you could probably run 0 or at most 1 degree and be close.

[chucky norris]

Thanks for the info guys.

I somehow botched my offset measurement awfully, I'm actually sitting at 11.5 +23. Anyone know if this is pullable?

Are there any s13s running 18x10+12 all round?

A guy on nrr is running 18x12 +20 all around, but he runs spacers.

I wanted to verify what my search had shown on a set of Nismo LM-GT2's I had been looking at buying. Id appreciate some input before I purchase the wheels in a few days. Here are my specs.

F: 17x8+35 with a 235/45/17 and a 1.7" drop
R: 17x9+38 with a 255/45/17 and a 1.4" drop

Planning on running these on an S14 with Z32 brakes and no spacers on Ohlins 32 way adj struts and Eibach sport line springs.

Everything I have found says these need no spacers, no fender roll and will clear the Z32 brakes since the rims were designed for the s13 and s14 Silvias which had a similar sumitomo 4 pot front and 2 pot rear caliper like the Z32's.

As for the rubber I'm hoping for a factory look. No stretching no ultra low pro probably something along the lines of the specs above unless you guys tell me my info led me wrong and Iv got my specs all screwey.


Thanks in advance for the help.

hey guys i have a quick question about fitment on my s13

i have cosmis xt005r

18x9 +20 fronts 235 40 18

18x10+12 rears 255 40 18(running dual caliper bracket adds 8mm)

im thinking of doing 25mm front overs

and 30mm rear overs

s14 flca

on tein drift spec coils

i doubt that im gonna have to go negative camber but do you guys think of the setup? its gonna be more functional daily driver than oni cam skank!

[vJilly]

S13 coupe:
20mm front fenders, 18x9.5 -13 225/40, will have about 4-5* of camber for angle purposes

50mm rear overs, 18x10.5 -6 245/40 only wanting to run at most a degree for even wear.

just what im going for, any have any idea on what the fitment will be or any insight about how much camber for the rear to get it flush. the fronts im not too worried about the front but the rear i am. thanks guys!

[justinobarek]

Couple of questions for you guys. Do you guys think 18x8.5 +30 will fit on a hatch with a small spacer to clear the coils, and meaty tires (like a 245/35) with rolling and maybe a slight pull? Also what about 18x9.5 +15 with a 245/35, will that clear the coil, and will that result in a lot of rubbing in the front? (I've done some research and i can't find the answers to these question)

if your upper brackets are notched, then yes... the wheel will clear fine (no spacer needed). 18x9.5 +15 clears all around just fine, but you will need a stretched tired to fit. if youre going for meat on 8.5, go with a 235/40R17 in front. 9.5 go with a 245/40R17. im personally running 225/45/R17 on my 17x8.5 +32 (3mm spacers for better look) and 245/40R17 on my 17x9.5 +38 (no spacers) with a roll, no pull. also running Fortune Auto 500 series 4. currently cambered around -1 deg front and rear. i may wind up going with a 255/40R14 out back and 235/40R17 upfront in the near future as i prefer meaty tires now over the fitment look, i like going fast thru turns, not sideways.

this is my last s13 on 18x9.5 +15 JIC JForce 5s with 225/40R18 and 235/45R18 (i THINK) in the rear on a complete crap alignment (everything was way off) max camber on camber plates in front and god only knows in the rear. i finally got off my ass and learned how to do alignments a few months after this was taken...

Thanks dude! This'll help me a ton when I start looking at wheels!

[HerraFrushBro]

I currently am running 18x10.5 +15 wheels with 235/35/18 Falken tires in the rear end of my s14. With stock arms l am running an ungodly amount of natural camber. So I ordered some adjustable RUCA & Toe arms to be able to play with my settings. I am hoping to tuck tire till the edge of my rim (of course with a pull on my stock fenders) so my question is how many degrees of negative camber should l run to achieve my goal? or should l just zero out the camber to basically factory settings? Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys here are some pictures of what l hope to accomplish

[woofy]

S13 with ISIS arms pro kit and BC coilovers

Thinking to go with a set of diamond racing wheels in 16x10 -12 with 245/45/16 and obviously fender flares, how does this plan sound, good? Doable? Is there rear over fenders(not flares) that could fit these? Anyone got a similar set up they would like to share pics of?

[Winters]

Question for you all, will 10mm spacers make cosmis 006r clear 30mm calipers

[dale_huevoGM6]

hey guys , i just wanted to see if anyone has been running welds on stock stock springs and struts on an s14 and wondered what offset you went with , and size spacer in the front . just looking for some ideas on what to do
thanks

[greddy2die]

Looking for a quick answer regarding tire sizing for my new wheels.

Right now I've got 17x9 + 22 with 255/40's all around on my S14.
Camber wise I'm at about -1.4 up front & -0.5 out back



My Blitz are 17x9 +13 / 17x10.75 +21
I test fit them yesterday (obviously i didnt adjust camber or ride height etc) to eye ball what i was dealing with.

Realistically I'd like to lower my car slightly but that depends on if I can unseize my front coilover brackets from the actually threaded shock body (no, its not the collars that are stuck).

Also, my car has a small pull out back too








I was thinking 265/40's out back but there's such a limited selection of tires at that size so now i'm thinking 255/40 out back & 235/40 up front.
I do not want a really stretched look, i know 255's out back will have a slight stretch but nothing extreme.

I guess my question is, 255/40's wouldnt look too bad on the rear & not being super low right?

Any thoughts?

[Gingersmurf]

Personally, i run 235's on my 17x9.5's and they are not what i would call stretched. Up front you can run those and in the back you would need more chamber to help tuck the tires under the fenders if you want to go lower. Depending on how far you want to go, you can do a mild pull and roll too. In my opinion those tires will be a bit much to try and stuff under your fenders as they are, without doing a some work. id aim for 245 or 250's if you want a meaty tire

Currently These are the best photos i have right now to show you how the tire sits on the rim. (not the greatest, you can at least see the profile)
I was test fitting the rims and body kit, so nothing is at the right chamber and height, but whatever.
F: 17x9.5 +17 235/45(effective with a 5mm spacer to clear coils) @ 4*
R: 17x9.5 +22 235/45 @ 6*
Both front and rear have a mild pull and roll
Also keep in mind these are 1/2" wider than your 17x9's, And it's on a s13. But its mainly just for the tire sitting on the rim

[greddy2die]

Anyone know if Bridgestone Potenza RE-11's run narrow or wider than others? I can get them for a good price.

So this is my first post here. I have recently put on some new wheels and tires. I also changed out all the stock suspension links and tie rods too.

Wheels are XXR 527 18x8.75 +20 all around
Tires are Continental DW 245/40/18 all around
Coilovers are Fortune Auto 500 9k/7k

I just had the wheels and tires installed yesterday, and the rear left wheel rubs over dips and bumps. I also would like to lower the car a bit, as it feels like I'm driving a truck right now.

Currently front camber is at -2.3 degrees and the rear is at -1.5 degrees.
To alleviate the tire rub, what should I do? Adjust the stiffness of my rear coilovers, and/or add more negative camber? I do want to lower my car too in the near future, so I don't want to run into rubbing issues again, so what would be the best approach to get my wheels to fit well and without there being any rubbing issues while still lowering it?

I recently got some new tires and wheels and I replaced all the stock rods and arms front and back. The car is Fortune 500 Coilovers 9k/7k on Swift springs.

Wheels: XXR 527 18x8.75 +20 all around
Tires: Continental Extreme Contact DW 245/40/18 all around
Camber: Front -2.3 degrees Rear -1.5 degrees

After having the wheels and tires installed yesterday, I noticed that my rear tires now rub, or at least the left rear one does. I would like to lower my car in the near future, as it feels like I'm driving a truck right now.

What would I have to do to alleviate the tire rubbing, while still allowing me to drop the car lower. I don't want to slam it, but I'd like it to be lower than it currently is without rubbing. Would stiffening the rear coilovers help, and/or giving the rear more negative camber?
