What are you running for shocks? Stock shocks are not gonna keep up with the Eibach springs for sure. For as much money you'll spend, might as well get an entry level coilover and not slam it.

stock shocks. so Tein springs will work with stock shocks? im not sure 1.5 drop will look good with body kit ect.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Tein springs are softer but if its still the original shocks, it needs to get replaced. I've known guys who slapped aftermarket springs on their stock shocks and blew the shocks out in a matter of days. I was one of those people back in the days...and my car only had 35k miles on it.

Hi guys so I just got a s13 fastback and put some hks hiper d coils on it. I have a set of stock se rims. with some toyos r888 205/50/15. im scared that the front tires will rub with the coils so i was wondering if my best bet would be some spacers? im planning to track the car in april so would this be ok ro run it with some H&R hubcentric spacers? Im a little new to this, so be easy on me. I appreciate everyones help! thank you!

[usdm180sx]

stock se wheels will clear coils all day long

[t0mmyd]

even with the 205s? because right now i have stock base steelies on with 195s and theres BARELY any room. its almost touching the coils.....

[usdm180sx]

Ahhh that depends on the brand. For any given tire size. For example, Yokohamas tend to be smaller and Federals tend to be wider

[t0mmyd]

oh... do you by any chance know if toyo r888 205/50/15 on stock se wheels will clear?

sorry for bugging you....

How much is "BARELY any room?" Like 1/4 inch? 205 should clear easily

s13 with 17x9 +22 and 17x9.5+15 wheels, not looking for a stretched set up, just something thats functional with just rolled fenders and slight pull in the rear if have to. thinking about running 225/45/17 hankook v12 for the fronts and 235/45/17 in the rears. or would you guys run another series tires. thanks!

[t0mmyd]

=\ either 1/4th an inch or even less than that. only the end on a Philips screw driver can between the tire and coils

By SE wheels + s13, I'll assume you mean s13 4 lug se wheels. So yes, they clear a lot of coils & even all shock and lowering spring combos. Same goes for S14 SE's.

I have 205/60/15 on all 4 corners so I'm almost certain that it'll fit. BF Goodrich tires.

Be aware that some brands run wider than others though. I don't think Toyo's run wider than said spec. But I'm not 100%. Even then, I don't think it'll rub.

I also have 15mm spacers all around because I had z32 brakes on the car at some point but now I'm running Q45's up in front & stock ones in the rear.

So with all of that said, you'll be fine with or without spacers. They should not rub.

Thanks a lot for the help everyone

For an S14, how hard would it be to do:
Front: 18x9.5 +12 225/40R18 -3 to -4 camber
Rear: 18x10.5 +15 235/40R18 0 to -1 camber
And is that too much tire stretch in the rear? Would I be able to run close to 0 camber in the rear, or at least -1? What kind of fender work would be required?

[fckillerbee]

^^^roll and pull.

[Breakbeat93]

I know this is a bit off topic but I got some VIS 20mm fenders and the fit/finish was complete ass. I have heard origin is good, but are they predrilled? Fit oem or close? Basically I want to know what the best option is. My kouki is absolutely cherry and I don't want some sloppy looking body panels on there

Any companies out there making urethane bumpers/fenders/ect? I haven't been able to find any.

Thanks for the help...it is kinda a fitment question and there are some very knowledgeable people in this thread

[kminde]

[kminde]

Sorry forgot, +25 all around

But if BC is anything similar to MRs (which I think they're the same exact thing just rebadged), I was running 17x10 +12 FN01s and I had to run 8mm to clear those. MRs struts are fatties.

Just for reference, 17x10 +12 with 8mm spacers (effectively +4) up front with 235/40-17 on Megan Racing Coilovers


and 18x10 +18 w/ 225/40-18 on Topline Aragostas.

how much of a roll did you have to do with the 18x10 +18 i have a 98 kouki on megan racing track series coilovers i have 350z rims on it now. i just bought 18x9.5 +15 rpf1's all the way around i know i might have to roll the back a little just wondering how much in the front.

for the rears: -2.5 camber is needed for tire to be flush with body.

i have -2 camber and did a tiny pull. looks great

[JasianBlazin]

Quick question, I am going from a 225/45 to a 215/40 anyone know approximately how much of a drop I will get?

[S14_Adam]

ok first of all whaddup everyone and id like to thank u in advance for helping me out here. i wanna run 18 inch ssr professor sp1s on my 95 zenki id like 9.5 width in the front and am open to what would look best in the back. i want a meaty looking tire in the back especially however i dont want it too hella flush or tucked. just aggressive looking stance with very minimal wheel well showing. so basically is my question is when i go to order these wheels what offset would i want?

[Jason9011]

Hey guys. I have 17x9.75 +25 offset and I was thinking of running 215/40 or 225/45 all around. What do you guys recommend? Its also for a s13 and I have stance coilovers.

Thanks.

[fckillerbee]

^^^ thats a pretty mild fitment. shouldn't have any issues.

depends on if you want stock qtrs, or plan on going wide body. I ran 18x9+12 and 18x10-1 with one inch spacers all around, with pinch 30mm wide rears and 30mm fronts. I like the wide body look....but again, depends on camber and how much pull you want to the fenders if you are running stock body .

[bftII40]

old pic of the s14

265 35 22

30mm spacer

Fits front only.

edit: i think i wana run 18x9.5 -15 up front and 18x11 -4 rears

[Kwolfe]

Anyone have any good websites to find good wheels?

[t0mmyd]

Hi everyone, so i just put my 205/50/15 toyo r888 on my stock s13 se rims but for some reason there is VERY little space between the tire and coils i have to raise the car all the way up so that the locking rings are above the tires so that it wont rub. i was told that i would be able to clear easily with stock se rims and those size tires. but i dont know why i only have a gap that can only fit a quarter between it. I have hks hyper d coils on. can someone please help me? thanks alot

[usdm180sx]

That's weird. Just run a 5mm spacer until you get better wheels
