I mean the fronts could be wider but the rears look spot on to me. Pulling too far can start to look sloppy, but if you want to go that route, I'd say bring them down an inch and keep it all clean.

I just recently installed some work emotion 11r's that are 18x9.5 +30 upfront on my s13 with a 225/40.i have tein super drifts and I'm using a 15mm bolt on spacer and have tucked my harness and hammered my wheel wells lip ect. But I rub my fenders when i turn and hit bumps so im a little too low for this tire but it looks nice where its at. I used to run an 18x9 +22 with a 10mm spacer up front on a 215/35 and didn't have any rubbing issues what so ever. Would switching to a 225/35 remedy the rubbing situation with the new wheels while still being able to be low? Or should I go to a 215/40? If I need to post pics I will.. I'm thinking 225/35 on the new fronts. any advice or examples of te above setup pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

im looking for the right amount of camber without going overboard ive searched far and wide.
i would like to fit 17x10 +25 in the rear of my hatch on a 235/40 (yes, done plenty of times before, not my problem) but i want to pass on a pull for now so i can properly fit my 18 later on with aero, no questions asked. so yes rolled rears are a done deal, but exactly how much camber to tuck a little bit of tire safely (again with no pull) without my rears cambered out like a halfpipe, and stance not 4x4ing....dont mind a bit of spacer which ill probably deal with to fit perfect |

I am looking to possibly run Enkei Compe's on my daily S13, I am wanting to keep the size at or under 16" and preferably 8" wide. My question is does anyone know if they clear Q45 front brakes (I have fortune coils and only mildly lowered)? The available offsets are 0 and +25, which would be easier to fit without much effort? Thanks for the help...

if you haven't already i'd look through this oem wheel thread here .... http://zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t...ght=350z+wheel and here is another good one offsite .... http://forums.nicoclub.com/updated-z...2-t359514.html also i have been google searching 350z wheels on 240sx/s14 for a while now. there are numerous threads and pics of the combo all over. the above two threads will get you started, i've looked through every page on those threads. good stuff. this guy here mentioned that he got spacers for "better" fitment, or i guess for better flush fitment. http://zilvia.net/f/showpost.php?p=5...&postcount=313 which i care little for in particular. i must be too old or something. bored with it? i think that looks absolutely amazing. except for the stretched tires. but again i must be too old.

I also know it has stance gr+ coils. If your going that low you would also have to relocated the wiring in the drivers fender well. Quote:

I just had my set of rims come in today. However, haven't put them on the car yet. I want the lip to sit as close to flush with fender as possible and have the car lowered with the fender about half inch over the tire. The sizes are 8.5" +25 and 10" +25. Tires are 215/40Fr and 235 or maybe 245 in the Rear (Don't have the rear tires yet until I get a little more information). My question is what size spacers should I get and are 235's too small for a 10" or should I go with 245"s. Thx in advance for the reply's.

You can do a 225/35 and slap on the 10mm spacers instead and be fine. I'd try the 10mm spacers with your current tire size and see if it still rubs, those 5mm can make a big difference . Also depending on how much camber your running you can add more and solve your rubbing issue with your 225/40 15mm spacer combo. |

You probably wont find that specific rim but you can look up matching fitments. Look up S14s with R33 GTR wheels. Those wheels are the same exact specs as those LMs. Might need 5mm spacers up front to clear certain suspensions.

So.... 18x9.5j-13et.... can I pull it off on the front of my S14 with stock metal? Aiming for 225/40/18 tires as well. My previous set up was 17x9j-3et with 225/45/17 tires.
From my understanding, I should have 4mm more clearance on the inside, and the wheel should be out an extra 16mm.

I have a problem with my rear camber. I have Parts Shop Max rucas and to rods, one side is more maxed than the other. The side that is maxed out leaves the wheel at almost 0 camber. The other leaves it negative around almost 3 degree. Any guesses?

Hoping you guys can help me out a bit. I'm getting new wheels and have a choice first is 17x10+20 front and 18x11+20 rear. The other option is 17x9+10 front and 18x10.5+20 rear. Car is an s13 hatch with 20mm front overs and currently rolled and pulled rears. I also want to do overs on the rear buy I'm unsure what overs to run with said wheel options. As far as tire size I'm planning on 225/40/18 in back but unsure of front ?

So I wont get into math here, but a very very close wheel to strut gap size for the backspacing on a rim is 5.25 inches. Hope that helps.

So best bet would be to go with the 17x9 up front. And a much wider tire. In back. Would it make much of a difference to run an 18x9 up front? |

This is the only suspension item I did not change, just changed the bushing out on it. Never really understood what the traction rod actually did. I am really low, should I buy an adjustable one? |

Adjustable reaction rods are for caster adjustment. For a slammed car I personally would change them out for the adjustable ones for the sheer ability to get alignment right

^^^I do wanna mention though: It is possible to fit those 18x11's under stock rears with 265/35 rubber, but You might not like the amount of pulling & negative camber required.
