new to wheel fitment and 240sx, i dont have to much knowledge on this stuff so your help is appreciated! anyways, i was just wondering if
1) i will need spacers, and if so roughly what size
2) if i will need to roll/pull fenders
3)will i need to buy camber kit

i have a stock s14 zenki,it is my dd. i am putting on kw v3 coilovers. rest of suspension is stock thus far.
i will be running rota p45rs, 18x9.5 +30 all around.
front tires will be 225/40/18
rears will be 225/45/18

everything is in peices right now, nothing is put on the car, im waiting for my wheels to get powdercoated to start slapping this stuff on...

i would really like to know, ahead of time, if i will maybe need spacers or start looking into fender rolling.

thanks

[aKaFlipSide]

18x8.5 +25 in the front
18x10 +25 in the rear

on a s14 would I need spacers to clear the coilovers? Also what size tires should i run on these?

You will need spacers up front to clear the suspension. How much exactly, not sure since every coilover is different in thickness. I'd say atleast 10mm.

As far as your tire sizing, I'd recommend just running 225/40-18s all around. No point of running a taller tire in the back and it'll throw off your speedo by a couple miles.

Camber, it will all depend on how low you want the car to be. The lower it is, more camber it will have. If you plan on lowering it atleast 3" from stock height, go buy camber arms and toe arms for the rear.

Fronts should clear anything and everything, but you might wanna throw some spacers in the front so it wont look sunk. Fronts, I'm always partial to 225/40-18s. Rear, its gonna be up to you. Do you want a stretch or wide? You can fit 245/35 or 255/35-18s with those sizing without fucking with the fenders too much.

suppp guys kinda new to fitment just wondering whats the maximum amount of lip possible int he back without having to go wide body with over fender?

for example 5 inch lip -3 camber??
no more than -3 camber please thats seems a bit excessive

[rgztmalv]

I've got an 89 S13 with 50mm rear fenders and not sure what size to get in the front.

The wheels I want to get are
REAR: 18X10 +22
FRONT: 18X9 +24

How can I make them fit flush on the rear, and what size fenders should I get in the front?

Any ideas would help!

That's not how wheel sizes work. Lip size depends on width, offset, spoke design, ect. Saying a "5 inch lip" doesn't tell us anything. You also didn't mention what kind of car you've got.

The rears will probably require some kind of spacers, size would depend on the camber you run, and the fronts would fit on a stock fender with a roll.

[Breitling]

Alright, I have a question regarding which lip size I should go with. Please loo kat the two sets of pics and tell me your opinion. i now have an opportunity to use either 5 or 6 inch lips. I have until tuesday to decide.

The 5 inch lips make the wheel an 18x10.5 +16

The 6 inch lips make the wheel an 18x11.5 +4

I am running 30mm fenders that are pushed to about 40mm


Heres the 6 inch lip


















Here are the 5 inch lips















Which one should I go with?

[silviaks2nr]

6", 295/30

[Breitling]

why do you suggest that tire?

[silviaks2nr]

JMO you have overs so you should try to fit something decently wide under there. 295/30 should stretch just slightly on an 11.5 but still clear the fender if + 40mm.

[Breitling]

Even with the poke?

do you have a picture for reference?

[domino]

Is there a dedicated thread for 180sx fitment? I can't find it, only Aero threads

[I'm Redline]

So if those wheels were a 4" lip, they would barely tuck and clear the inner fender with a slight roll, right?

No, my fenders are quite pulled. so a 4 inch lip would be sunken... And the reason the 30mm is pushed to 40mm is because of the pulled arch... WHICH, if i go with the 6 inch lip i would probably cut, raise, and pull even more in order to push the overfener out more.

reference this...

6 inch lip, no overfender.



4 inches would be way sunken

Would like to know how much camber i can run on Stance GR+ coils without modifying it. Looking to run -5 in front and -3 in rear. Ive seen people slot the hole but before i do so i want to know if i can achieve that without doing it.

My GR+'s are maxed camber up front and I'm at -6ish*

Sweet thanks. Just wanted to clarify before i did something stupid lol.

[MedHat240sx]

Hey im looking to run the widest wheels possible on a stock body with that inner lip flattened. What Size/Offset will i need to run? Ill most likely will be running Fortune 500 Coilovers if that helps with anything thank You!

1990 240sx Hatchback

[fliprayzin240sx]

Good rule of thumb for all S-chassis is 9j +9 fronts and 10j +10 rears. If you're worried about pulling fenders/camber, add more offset.

[MedHat240sx]

so what your saying is you can fit a 10 on the back with a 10 offset with no pull?

msglength.

on an S14. you are gonna have to run a decent stretch and some serious camber to fit that on the rear of a hatch. S13's are more slim than S14's.

[MedHat240sx]

well whats a good width where i can run with very little stretch and little camber? 8.5?

[MedHat240sx]

How would this fit on a 240sx stock body with inner lip rolled
18 x 9 4 x 114.3 +30? and if it fits good what tires should i run. I want to run as minimal stretch and possible a very little camber seeing as dad thinks ill burn through tires like nuts.
