\first post hope im doing this right.
i recently lowered my car on some megan racing street series coilovers and now am looking to purchase a new set of wheels. i know what people say about xxr's but they are affordable, especially for a 22 year old with other things to pay for. my choice is the XXR 527's probably in chromium black, would these clear my coilovers and cause any problems? is this a good set up for a car that i daily drive? Front: 18x8.75 +20 tire: 225 (40 or 45) r18 Rear: 18x9.75 +20 tire: 245 (40 or 45) r18 thanks in advance |

I know I am probably going to get flamed for this but after getting through 10 pages I got really sick of reading. I attempted to search the thread but the search timed out (too many results?)
Anyway, I am just looking for good information on wheel size and tire size just to fill out the wheel well a bit. I don't know all that much about offset/camber/toe in-out/pretty much anything discussed in this thread. Here is the goal, seems pretty simple compared to others. Car - 1998 Nissan 240SX SE Ride Height - Stock or close to stock, maybe eventually 1-2" drop. Camber - No observable camber desired. Nice flat contact on the road and clean flush look. Size - 16 or 17" rims staggered (I think that means larger in the back?) Fender Modification - None Other modification - I am going to have Z32 brake setup on all 4 corners. Tire stretch - Hopefully none, I think it looks pretty silly. All I want to do is make the car look more complete. Less fender gap. I also have a concern clearing the struts as well as the stock wheel well trim (splash guard?) Any advice on what I would need for suspension upgrades, if any, wheel suggestions, and tire suggestions are greatly appreciated. I hope I am asking with all the right questions. If you couldn't tell I want to retain an OEM look. I actually really like the S14 SE wheels so if you know of a similar wheel that would be great. As little modification as possible is key. |

Awesome, thanks a lot. What are some of the better budget brands I can look at? Can I even go to 17's without rolling the fenders? I would like to avoid it if possible.
Also, let me see if I understand this. The stock offset is +40 if I am not mistaken, so if I get a wheel with an offset of +25 it will bring the wheel out 15mm? This means the inside of the wheel will be deep and allow clearance for the big z 32 brakes, right? I might actually learn something out of this. Last edited by Soilsack; 02-03-2014 at 07:43 AM.. |

Offset is how far off the mount pad of the wheels are in reference to the center of the wheel. Best way to figure out fitment on your own is by playing with a wheel offset calculator and taking measurements of your wheel to fender space. |

Do you have a link to a good calculator that actually explains where and what I need to measure? I also don't think I want to go the coilover route, is there a way to make a spring/shock combo adjustable?

Damping, sure: Koni, KYB AGX, etc. Ride height? You'll need to get coilover sleeves. Don't go the Ground Control route unless you find a nice used set for cheap. It's honestly a rip off if you purchase them new from GC. Also, it'll give you a more limited range of ride height adjustability. Expect no more than a 2" drop. |

Hey guys I got a quick one! S14 with tubs. 30mm front fenders and 50mm rear over fenders. Im also runing a dual z32 rear brake caliper set up in the rear, which adds an 8mm spacer built into the kit.
Could you guys recommend 18s in width and offset for the widebody? I want to run -3.5 front and -3 in the rear. Im trying to pick up a dope set of work equips and I want the maximum lips. Thanks! |

Alright, not sure why I didn't remember them earlier.
New question more specs. Suspension: Nismo S Tune coilover (Lowered 1.0" Front 0.6" Rear) Wheels 17x8 35mm Offset, 215x45x17 tires Z32 brakes all 4 corners. No fender modification Is it possible? Edit: I think it would flush out more if I can find a wheel with 25mm offset. If any other suspension mods would be needed I would like to know. the Nismo S tunes are non adjustable and can't mount camber plates so it would all be up to arms I guess(?) |

i am not 100% opposed to running spacers. but i would like to know more what offset on 17x8 will get them close to 17x9 with +25 offset? or in your opinion is it just not worth it to go staggered at those widths? any help is appreciated.

Although, personally, I feel that S14 wheel arches are too big for 17's and make them look dinky unless you do an assload of fender work like 95KA-Turbo... 18's are perfect on S14's. |

Hey guys,
I tried to find the perfect thread for my question here on zilvia but i did not find one, i just bought a set of wheels, all 4 are 17x9 +25, i was wondering what set of tires should i get for them? 225/45? 215/40 or 215/45? And don't want my car to be very low because of our broken roads. Any help would be appreciated. |

^Use rimtuck to answer your tire question. Insert your wheel specs, play around with offset if you can't find what you're looking for, take notes and apply to your car.

For example: You don't need to stick with this size in terms of tires, but it'll leave you room for meaty tires. |

hello every one
i have a 1998 silver moss 240sx my buddy sold me a set of xxr 521 .. 18x10 +25 all four fitted the wheels on my car the rear fit like a dream ( even fills the quarter panel pull from the previous owner.. he had ccw I WANT ) but the problem is in the front i tried to fit but i jus hit shock .. i then tried a 1/2 in spacer ... still hitting the shock so my dad who also has a s14 decided to used two and i use two but now i need the fronts i will be installing 300z z32 aluminum brakes in the front ( i think thats what they call them) so what ever i use has to clear i was considering 18x8.5 +25 in the same xxr 521 will this work considering the brakes and i dont mind a slight fender pull but nothing to much the rear is enough for me |

I'm going to get smaller lips. I'm wondering if i should go with 1" or 1/2" smaller.
current specs: 18x11.5 -6 245/40/18 -1/2": 18x11 +0 (would like to keep the same tires if possible) -1": 18x10.5 +6 (again, would like to keep the same tires) I'm not considering overfenders, just not my thing. I can add camber and possibly pull my fenders more. What do you guys think? could i get away with only 1/2" smaller lips? car is a s14 with roll and mild pull. |
02-10-2014, 07:45 PM | #2938 |
what's the widest wheel and tire can I fit for most traction on the rear of a S13 Hatch?
I'm not looking to camber them. I want my tires not to spin. Right now I spin 1st and 2nd till I shift to 3rd. And it makes me slow out of the hole or when I take off from a dead stop anywhere. Also, if I'm cruising at 5omph and hit boost it just starts spinning like crazy. |
