Wheel Fitment Question Thread

[yomisiu]

i'll see if i can cut/hammer it some more and bend the metal the opposite way. the pbm ruca design looks like it should also resolve the frame clearance issue. thanks guys

[yomisiu]

noticed today that one of the tires doesn't look fully seated. i recall the tire guy having trouble with the air valve because it's really short/tight. i guess i'll have to take the wheels to a bigger commercial tire shop and hope they have a special slim air nozzle or something.


235/40 18x10.5 if anyone is curious.

[shaggy sr]

a quick question. how many MM spacers should i get for my front 18x9.5 +45 in s13 coilovers. it still touches the coil. i don't want adapters. or 18x9 +25 will work without spacers?

Quick easy way to determine this:

1. Take washers and place them over the studs
2. Put the wheel on (just hold it on) and rotate it to see if it hits, if it does, put some more washers on it until it doesn't anymore.
3. Measure the height of all the washers
4. Do some fun algebra. 25.4(x Inches)=MM Needed
If you suck at algebra, just put your measurement into a inches to mm converter. Then your done.

18x9.5 +15 is a pretty common size on S13, so I'd get a 30mm spacer.

Anyone running Gram Light 57CR 17x9 with a 225/235 tire as a square setup on a stock body s13? Trying not to roll/pull fenders but i'm not sure what offset/tire size to go with.

[derass]

I had 235/40R17 on 17x9 +20 all around with just rolled fenders on S13. That setup fit onto my 2nd S13 even without a roll; 100% stock fenders with -3* camber all around.

17x9 +20 is a good size. Just enough offset to clear the coilovers, but not so much that you can even squeeze a 245/40 or 255/40 all around under stock fenders with just a roll/pull.

I wanna be as close to 0 camber in the rear and around -2 or -3 in the front. Would I have issues with it hitting the coilovers or the fenders? Really prefer not to do a roll

suick help, Weds Kranze LXZs 18x8.5 18.9.5 +22 on stock body s14, With a roll and a slight pull what lips could I run or how wide can I go and what tires without a stretch? dont want to rub and im on megan coils all around.

Ya, 0 camber in the rear isn't going to work with a decent tire and no roll. Maybe if you run a 205 or 215, and/or a high-ish ride height. But that's gonna look wack.

Alright guys, I found a set of Kumho Ecsta v720's for super cheap but they're not the exact size i've been looking for. I've got an S13, rolled front and rear.

Wheels: 17x9 +22 / 17x10 +18 RPF1's

was looking at maybe 235/45 up front and maybe 245/45 in the rear?
Thoughts?
I want a streetable driver that can do some track/auto-x duty that also looks good. I'm worried the 45's will just be to tall. Thanks for the help.

I just bought the same tires in 225/45-17 and 255/40-17 for my set of 17x8+32 and 17x9.5 +32 weds. Should work out

[bran420]

What 17/18 wheel offset/width/tire size would I have to run to fit 55mm rear over fenders and 50mm front over fenders without having to modify the front wheel wells... Preferably 17’ lil meaty tire look...

My Volk GT-Vs had valve stems like this that didn't protrude through the face at all and I couldn't get any air chuck on them. I got some valve stem extensions at the local Oreilly's and they worked perfectly. Should be sold by all the valve stem repair parts.

[EFITTZY]

If you have a Napa near you their part number for the valve stem extensions is 90-319.
Sold in a set of 4 for $3.00 or so

Anyone with 17x9.5 +18 front and 18x10.5 +15 rear RPF1s on their stock body s14? any pointers. I know the front i can fit using 5mm spacer to clear coilovers. The rear might need a little work. Want to see some 18x10.5 +15 rpf1s setups so i can get a better idea on what to expect

[3NDLESS]

9" +30 Meisters R Disk for fronts but I'm curious about coilover clearance on s13 and overall fitment. I've heard that I should run 20mm spacers but need confirmation

Will 18x12 -1 fit on the front of an s13?

sure, if you wanna look like a massive tool. not gonna be able to turn for shit, but with those specs i assume you’re building a fuckboy hardpark car so it doesn’t matter.

Maybe someone here will know, sorry if this has been answered before! Does anyone know if MB Battles (+15) will clear CTS-V calipers?

[jumpman2334]

if you don't get your answer here im sure the ctsv caliper guy will know.

for some reason I interpreted it as a guy who specializes in them on here lol

[Doc KA24DE]

Will 17x8.5 +20 fit stock body s13 on coils? (still on 4 lug hubs) My wheel options are very limited, everything else in 17x9 require a fender roll except for MST MT07 17x9 +20 & Aodhan AH03 17x9 +25 which i'm not interested in.

[brokeboi01]

Yes depending on your camber set. I run 17x9 +28s on a stockbody with r: -3 camber and f: -2 ish

Would a 10.5 in the rear fit with just a roll and pull? Thinking +25 offset? And 255/40 or 245/40 if I must dont want too much stretch.

Yes but it will require a little camber and patience to pull the fenders. @epicbabybee on Instagram had 18x10.5 +15 LMGT4s with 245/35s on the rear of his hatch with a roll and pull.
