(Working on getting specs)

18x12 with a 295/35
Didn't give me a Offset so I have to ask again.


Edit:
18x12-5

More Pics:
(Did not realized they were this stretched lol)

Not sure what to think about that, the second pic shows the rear tire is a 265 but they sure look wider in the original pic. Also, it looks like he could easily run much more rear tire and still clear his massive quarter panel/flares.

[silviaks2nr]

I hope that car has proper sized tires when it's finished

[Broadfield]

Yeah, that thing is hideous. But overs with bolt on flares... good lord!

[jaysgottaredtop]

holy jeebus! stock type-x aero + overs + flares + those wheels = sickkkkkkkk


...all it needs now is some meaty-as-all-hell tires. 315/30 and 345/30 stagger? pleeeeease??

[KA240SX808]

Yeah I saw it said 265 but like you guys mentioned the first pic shows quite a bit more meat so I believe he switched to a 295 later.

Silviaks2nr,

First off, NICE JOB!

2nd, Would you change offset or width at all, were you to re-order a set of CCWs? Hows the inboard clearance front and back, any pics? Where is it rubbing in front?

Totally sweet!

[conrad_s13.5]

when shits iron'd out,. i bet it'll look awesome!

The rear is perfect, maybe could have gone with a higher offset or x11.5 and 305 since there is a little more clearance towards the shock. the front is actually a +12 offset which I thought would clear based on my measurements but I needed a 5/16" slip on to have it off the coilover so that's why it rubs the fender slightly.

Going down to a 255 front

Its way to hard to keep a 275 up front without having to destroy/modify your front fenders and bumper. Not to mention I was on stock wheel wells.

Was this on an s13?

I'm curious to hear why you say "contact patch isn't everything..."


I am looking at 17x10.5 +15 for the front and want to run 275's or 285's.

18x9.5 +6 255/35 ~3*

18x11 +30 295/30 ~2*

Your wheels are almost the exact same specs as mine, sizes are the same but the offset is a few mm off. Beautiful!

[Seraphim38]

I dream of someday buying 17x10 front 17x11 rear, +10 or so CCWs for my S13. CCWs are unmatched in performance, weight and looks IMO.

[GripTerror]

That s13 hatch puts my hatch to shame lol.. here 18x11+0 with 295/30/18 square setup for now... his rear looks massive with overfenders and flares together hah.. i wonder how a bn blister setup with flares would be hah!

Anyways to all the haters, that hatch looks TOTALLY BAD ASS

[RAMM]

Tires: TOYO R888 all around 275/40-17
Wheels: Enkei RPF1 17x9.5 +18(front), 17x10 +18(rear)

Origin Lab front and rear fenders. Both with inner fiberglass lip removal to maximize tire clearance. I also had to cut up the lower part of my front bumper (both sides) to eliminate the tires rubbing on the track.

[Yellow4g63]

forgive my ignorance but are the origin fenders wider than factory S14?

[JonathanPrem]

^lol yes there wider

[Yellow4g63]

Thanks I know Zero point Zero about body kits.

You are forgived. But, there is no need to apologize.

The fronts are +20mm wider
and the rears are +50mm wider

[str1d3r]

for all the rubber experts out there,

what tire size will fit a 16x7 +40 on an s13 with no rub without needing spacers? (yes, i know its a weak offset, whatever)

and if i do put spacers to make it more flush, what size spacers will i need, and what tire size could i go then?

im on a shock/spring setup, lowered 1.5 inches F/R

[axiomatik]

fyi, 215 is square on a 7" wheel.

[JFoxx]

waiting on tires i ordered to come in....im runing 335/35/18 on 18x12 +10 rear 265/35/18 on 18x10 +10 front.........., on an S13.......the pics will come.....


(and yes i have the power and widebody to warrant those sizes.....)

[BTplaya]

Random pic strip style.

What kinda power we talkin about, and what do you use the car for?

[JFoxx]

aprox. ~550ish (new setup hasnt been tuned yet).....and it is used for auto cross...

[mikerbike]

Just wondering, are you changing gearing to run that size on the rear? By chance, did you mean 335/30/18?

Sounds pretty fast either way.

yes it is 335/30/18... thats funny....

havent decided if im going to mess with the gearing yet, but like everything else on the car, its probably going to be messed with eventually........

maybe ill do a little build thread on this car, it was all built out of a 1 car garage by myself (except roll cage, and sleeving the block)

RAMM,

How do you like the R888s? I've heard they can be a bear in the cold? Do they take a while to heat up on the street? Are you happy with the staggered set-up? I've always wanted to try them. How many street miles have you put on them?

[RAMM]

Try and get a larger front tire on there, or reduce the size of the rear tire. Try and get the stagger to be within 30mm of the front tires. From my experiences S-Chassis cars don't really respond to well with a large difference in stagger on the track.

Yes, they are R-Compound tires so on the street they do not perform that well. You definitely need to put some heat in them for them to actually work. I used the tires on the track primarily and would occasionally take them out on the street for a cruise. I ran 275's ALL AROUND in that picture.

I put close to 1000 street miles on the tires. Mainly just cruising around and breaking in the motor, the majority of the wear on the tires came from the 3 track days that I put on them.

[RAMM]

If your looking for a tire that heats up quick, check out the Toyo R1R. They need a little less time to heat up, and are a dedicated Street Tire.

Or if you want a badass street tire for the money...go on tirerack and order up some Kumho XS.
