Or were you saying a rear federal 245/35-18 (on a 10.5) wouldbe roughly the same size wise as a 225/40 up front (on a 9.5)?

This...plus those sizing are the same as OEM diameter (205/55-16). I wasnt putting into effect that Feds sizing may be off.

Gurus' just double checking on my setup before hitting the "purchase" button for the tires.

S14 Body with stock fenders....willing to roll and pull as needed. Looking to minimize the amount of camber on setup due to power goals for daily driving (est. at roughly 500whp). NOT going for the crazy stretched tire look at all. A slight stretch is more than enough for me

Front- 18x9.5 +22 (need spacer). I am thinking that 235/40 tire would work well
Rear- 18x10.5 +22 (hopefully wont need spacer). 275/35 or would 265/35 be better?

I have seen both done and most often I have seen the 265/35 setup but I would like to maximize the amount of rear tire that I can get on the rim without having crazy camber so I am leaning more toward the 275/35 setup. Looked on 3 "Tire Calculator" websites just want to make sure I consult with the experts before making the purchase.

Thanks in advance and I look forward to your feedback.

Personally, go lower offset on the front so you dont have to worry about spacers. Kick it down to atleast +18 to as low as +12.

Rears, 275/35s will fit with some fender pull. How much pull would depend on how low the car is. If you just need to pull so the tire doesnt rub, it shouldnt be much work. If you're trying to tuck tires under the rears, you'll need to do some work pulling the rears.

Thank you sir....I already purchased the rims because I got a great deal so unfortunately I will be using a spacer up front. I dont know exactly what size yet but I am assuming that a 5-10mm will do as you noted but I wont know until the rim is on the car and I can measure.

I am not trying to tuck the rears I am more tryin gto avoid rubbing once the car is lowered. It will not be extremely low because of shitty NY streets and also my Apexi GT Spec that hangs low anyway. I am looking more for the flush look than the tucked look.

Thanks again sir I thought I was in the right ball park with the tire size but wanted to be sure since I am going to purchase tires today or tomorrow.

Im a total idiot when it comes to this wheel fitment shit. I have a s14 and want the cobra reps 17x10.5 +27 all around.

I know I can fit them in the rear with no problem, but the front is my worry. I pm'd a guy that had them on his zenki with no pull, but little did I know, he hasn't been on here in 8 months.

I am planning on going AS LOW AS POSSIBLE. (call me a fanboy but slammed cars get me going)

So, what would I have to do to pull it off besides spacers. I do not want to pull my fenders. If I need to go with the 17x9 +26 in the front so be it, but I would really like to pull off the afore mentioned setup. I am planning on running alot of camber anyways and stretch.

Those fronts and too wide for the offset they have.
Your going to need to run a spacer a 25mm spacer to clear front i believe but every coilover is different. You'd need to "slot" the coilover for the extra camber.
A 235/40 stretch should be adequate. If the wheels still don't fit do a very slight pull.

Ya I knew I had to run spacers. As on now I have Cusco zero 1 but am gunna buy the 326 power coils or stance ss.

Am I going to have to hammer my inner fenders?

Like your fender wells? Or roll the lip?
If the fender wells if you run a 40 sidewall tire you should be fine.
I currently has a 45 sidewall on 17's and rub the front fender wells nasty haha, it was all the tire shop had at the moment.

Inner fender wells sorry. So with a 40 and camber I should be golden?

first things first you need coils.
not sure about s13's front but you can probably make that work with camber.
The rears will need overfenders.

[i<3chicken]

Awesome. And overfenders? Like 50mm? And where can I get cheap coils to be used for a few months?

will a 18x10 +20 clear the coilover on the front of a s13?

[TN4sty 305]

Would like to klnow how to mount this on the hub.



Haven't seen any pictures on how to mount all 4 or at least. 30mm or 25mm effective

All depends on how low the car is. Beating the inner wheel well is always a good idea. Not like you'd damage anything. Only thing you're really doing is keeping the tires from touching and eating the paint off, preventing the bare metal from rusting. If you're gonna get new coilovers, try to get the narrowest coilovers you can find. Skinnier they are, the less spacers you'd have to run. Less spacers you run, less you'd have to pull the fenders. If you run 10.5js up front, you'll need to pull the fenders, specially with 235s.

Umm...whats the specs on the wheels? Offset alone doesnt mean jack shit.

Depends on the coilovers...kicker is S13 wheel clearance sucks. You'd have to do alot to make 10js fit up front of an S13. S14s on the other hand are cake.

18x12.5 -39 on a s14 rear

how?

That's gonna stick out almost 3 inches further out than my 10.5j +10 wheels. If you can find 70mm fenders, you're set.

[Breitling]

I have seen 60's before.... but never 70s.

Well, get some 60s and bow out the living fuck out of them. You can probably get another inch on most over fenders as long as they dont suck and layed out thick as fuck.

appreciate any help

I have some questions before buying some wheels on the diameter and offset my question is if I can execute a combo front and 18x9.5 +25 18x8.5 +35 rear* with KYB shock absorber setup suspencion gr-2 and H tein springs

yeshh. switch it up though 18x8.5 in the fronts, 18x9.5 in the rears. Your car shouldn't be that low on that setup so i don't think you'll need to roll the fenders.
