Man I'm surprised that 295 on the 11j still looks stretched at the sidewall haha.
Do you think a 295/40 would have the same fitment on a 17x11 as the 295/30 on 18x11?

It'll depend on the tire manufacturer more than anything. Nt05s run kind of narrow but an RS-3 runs a bit wide (I think).

Maximum TIRE(Rubber) fitment thread

I picked up a set of Konig Hypergrams recently since they look pretty good, weigh very little, don't cost much and have at least some semblance of quality control.

These are 18x10.5 +25 with 315/35 R888s. To keep the S15 HLSD and add more beef, but pay about 1/2 total of what DSS axels cost, I went with 350z axels which, with the adaptors will add a little more than an inch in length & track width from stock. So these wheels stick out that extra ~1.1" more than most. These wheels/tires would probably clear ok with a pretty big fender pull and to save the factory fenders, I decided to pull the fenders and will rivet on these free fender flares (I've never been a fan of them, but they actually go pretty well). My front 17x9 +25 still fit within the fenders so I don't see much use for discussion there. I'm running between -1.7* of camber all around.

For an extra $3-4,000, I could've achieved better fitment and maybe more axel strength, but I'm about to be a Dad so that'd be silly. For all that money, maybe in a few years, I could probably squeeze in a +40 18x12 with a 335 tire since there's a fair amount of space left for more wheel/tire inward toward the spring now. Hopefully these 315s will be plenty sticky on the street and at the track though LoL. Adding about 4" of width to the rear of the car will be interesting on track once the weather clears up.

Here's mine. 18x9.5 +15 with 265/35/18 for the fronts and 18x10.5 +18 with 315/30/18 for the rears. Tires are Toyo R888's.

Front fenders have not been pulled, just rolled.

Wait, what? Axle length doesn't determine track width. The lengths of the multilink arms do.

You're going to install flares over the pulled fenders? Why? It won't gain you any clearance. Either leave the pulled quarter panel as-is, or install the rivets and cut out all the metal underneath.

I'm not hacking apart a factory fender and welding it back together then filling/paint/etc when I only need a bit of extra clearance for the tire to miss the fender, so a bit of pull to help the fender flare will be sufficient. If I change wheels/tires in the future, I'm not married to this fender flare or over fenders.

The multi-link arms need to accommodate whatever length axel you have (shorter or longer) unless you want a binded 350z axel. The 350z axels need more physical space than the s14 axels do so all the arms push the hub outward, hence this rather excessive fitment.

1) Slapping a flare above your pulled quarter will not gain you any tire clearance.

2) You don't want to cut the factory quarter... but you're cool with pulling the piss out of it, and then drilling holes to rivet on a flare?

fuck that's perfect. I have 18x9.5 +17 all around I'm thinking some 255's or shit, maybe 265's will fit fine with minimal camber on a stock body s14 that's not too low..

The car isn't slammed and the tires will only barely touch the fender now so a little pull would be enough to clear the tires and welding a couple little holes shut later would be easy.

Maximum TIRE(Rubber) fitment thread

I'll have to measure to be exact, but there's about an inch between the tire and spring now so maybe +30, but it's not something I'm very interested in. I'm sure the longer axels are key.

Yup.

Works on stock bodied hatch and coupe if you don't go crazy on offsets.

I'm at 17x9 +22 in front, 17x9.5 +38 in back. 9.5 +38 also works all the way around with a spacer in front.

-3.5* F, -1.5*ish R for camber.

Typically, you'd run into issues with the LCA before the spring.

Never seen a wheel run into the rlca , mine use to hit my coilover when it would gain camber when it pushed up. Plus how his rlca is adjustable (knuckle side) it pushes the wheel away from where it could possibly hit it, it will probably hit the coilover first since that is fixed the knuckle.

I think the modified Villians stubs would have worked great for you instead of the adaptors since you are running such large tires. You don't need to run extended lca's with them since they shrink up the stub axle mounting point inwards to allow for the slightly wider g35/z33 axles in a s-chassis
