Wheel Fitment Question Thread

[dorkidori_s13]

So just bought a 5 stud conversion for s13 to s14 oem ones.

Not sure if S14 to S13 OE hubs are direct bolt on or not. Ive used Ichibas for over 10 years now.

So if I purchased these wheles in 17x9 +30 and ran 225/40, they should fit easy?

id suggest 225 infront and 245 out back. I ran 235s stretched on 18x9.5 a long time ago... still requires camber though. You may want to consider 17x9 +20 or +15 if youre going for that hot boi fitment look.

Is it worth ordering the wheels now or after I do the conversion?

did you order new rotors as well? id suggest ordering wheels now so when the 5 lug conversion shows up and you install it, you have wheels to put on your car given 4 lug wheels dont exactly work on 5 lug hubs

Will Probably also get spacers after tyres

you might want to consider ordering coilovers, front tension rods, rear upper control arms, rear toe links and rear traction rods before you start messing around with spacers given youre going to need to lower the car along with dialing in proper alignment specs (cant do this on stock control arms).

Hey sorry for the late reply but have taken a lot of info onboard!
The website says the the hubs are direct bolt on, but not much good without rotors, Ill order some now.
+20 sounds ideal as I'd rather have room to play with as it's illegal where I live to have wheels poke, and dont want to ruin the straight stock body.
I've also had coilovers for a couple years now too.
I was going to buy these wheels off driftworks and came across a set made by driftworks containing all 4 rods & arms youve mentioned. Just wondering if the quality is any good and worth getting? Its pretty cheap, but not quite ebay spec cheap hahaha

Once again much appreciated for your help my man

we dont have driftworks in the US. ive been running circuit sports arms for 8 years now without issue. im sure the driftworks arms arent much different.

i just poked around their website. their driftworks branded arms are about the same quality. they also have japspeed listed which is the same manufacturer as circuit sports/phase2motortrend here in the US (and the same arms i run). youll be fine either way.

if youre going for full track duty arms, id go with GK Tech, Parts Shop Max or SPL Parts. they cost a bit more, but are meant for heavy track use. if youre just driving around and want something that will work for street and light track use, the Driftworks and Japspeed arms will work fine.

It’s been almost 6 years since I put the wrenches down, so sorry if this seems basic. I forgot everything I knew!!!

Looking at over fenders to finish up my project. But I need help with wheel fitment....

S13 coupe
18x10 -17 front / +25mm control arms / lots of camber
18x11 -17 rear / zero camber

I think I was planning to go with Origin type 3 +55mm but I’ve found a few sets of the type 4 +70 available...Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Guys,

I have been away from my car for about 8 years. I'm finally in a position to start putting some money into her again.

s14 no fender roll
stance coils
no brake upgrade (yet)
5zigen fn01r-c 17x8 front and 17x9 rear

this car is never gonna be drifted or dragged.

I've been reading for a while now and it seems like the standard for that setup in 225/45 front and 235/45 rear.

I get there are a thousand different setups but for a casual project would that be the solid choice?

[derass]

Those tires sizes are fine. Very good choices, actually.

Fronts will fit no problem. Rears will fit without rolled fenders if you add some camber and aren't too low.

My setup is similar to what you’re going for.

18x10 +0 front /VIS 30mm fenders/ -3 camber
18x11.5 -15 rear/ Origin Type 2 50mm/ -3 camber

This should give you an idea of what the fitment will look like. Close to flush in the front, some poke in the back.

Hey TheBlackhand looks good. what tire size are you running in the front and rears by chance.

Ok thank you very much.

[WIKID S4TEEN]

For those running BMW style 95 wheels, what hardware are you using because I noticed the wheel is for a 14x1.5 lug bolt/stud and most wheel adapters are 12mm studs.

[HustlinFlip]

Hey guys, anyone know what’s needed to run 370z wheels on a stock body s14 kouki without rolling fenders and slightly lowered on coils? Recommendations for tire sizes? Or should I just try to find a set of 350z anniversary wheels instead?

Specs are 18x8 +43 front and 18x9 +15 rear

Random pic I found for reference

[rushone]

Hey guys. I am currently running:

18x9.5 +15 mb battles all the way around.
-3 camber in the rear with rolled fenders with slight pull
-8 camber in front with rolled and pulled metal fenders. My lca’s are extended +40mm due to the fact that i do drift the car

My question is, will running a +40mm front fender allow me to remove a good portion of the camber up front? Or do i need +55. I want to be as close to flush as possible as well as get rid of about 5 degrees of camber.

[RedSled]

Hey guys can 18x10.5 -14 fit in an s13 rear without overfenders ?
Also want to keep the wheel basically straight with minor camber

[S14rebuild]

^no will need massive camber n fender pull or ull need 50mm overs

[vasponger]

So Im looking to run this setup S14 with coilovers, fenders rolled. Flush, no tucking. Just a street driver. looking for more square than stretched

fronts 18x9 +12 235/35
rear 18x10.5 +12 255/40

Hello,
I currently found a decent deal on a set of used wheels with the following specs:
18x9 +20
18x10 +15

My current setup on the s14 is all stock but coilovers, and the ride height atm is like this:


(https://i.imgur.com/CwHxw0V.jpg full size image, was fucking the forum layout too much)

I'm gonna still drop the front a bit, but the camber I want to keep is -1.7 front / -1.5 rears which is what it is currently at.

With the other setup and keeping this ride height would I encounter some rubbing? what would be the best tire setup without stretching? I've been trying to figure this out by myself but I lack of experience and I don't want to gimp myself. I'd also need to keep 5mm between chassis and tire at all time and 3mm between rim and chassis, that's by law here. So that makes it a bit more of an headache.

Would it be possible with that setup to accomplish that?

Thanks a lot for your help.

That looks amazing!
So Clean!

Thinking of going with a set of volk gtp 18x10 +12 square for the s13. Car has full 180sx oem aero... tire probably a 255/35/18. Anyone have pics or experience with this sizing? Car will be going to paint after fitment is finished.

Will work. s14's have more room to work with than an s13 in both front and rear quarters/tubs. Rubbing, yes, unless you go with a 215/35 or 40.
Rear will fit fairly easy with a 225/40. I mentioned those tire sizes since you plan to run very little camber.

It will work depending on your height. If you plan to go low then those tire sizes are too big. Especially up front, you would need a small tire and lots of camber, or wider aftermarket fenders to make that fit. In the rear you can fit it easier, but again you would need a smaller tire.

Man this is amazing. Looks perfect as is imo. Maybe a little lower in the rear but that is about it. Mind if I ask what color you painted this s14?

This is a well styled zenki, great stuff man.

Can anyone post pictures of a 225/45, 235/40, and 245/40 on a 17x9.5?

Are you running spacers at all?

[Kylerkickass240]

wondering if anyone has purchased the 326power Yabaking one piece wheels before, specifically the 18x8.5+7 size. Would love to see what they look like on an s13, hell, even an frs/brz.
