[hellion240sx]

Just giving you a hard time for busting my balls

Varstoen 15*8+ 20

I am waiting for someone to buy me volk te37 s

[ghoti]

^15s are hard to pull off on a S14, IMO 16s suit it better like the ones posted on page 33
Anyways here's an S14 on 15s

[hellion240sx]

Meh zenki... hah. I prefer ynots, ditchs14, or... I can't remember the other Zenki. But it's going to be lowered anotherinch later on. going to drive it around so I can get used to it. Then later do it another inch in just the front.

Just do it all at once. That way you only have to do the work once. And "get used to it" once.

[hellion240sx]

Going from completely stock to upgraded everything is a big change. I'm not used to driving a lowered car. Potholes are serious in New Orleans. Besides, I keep running into time crunches and missing parts, to parts not fitting etc etc etc. Trying to find the sweet spot with 12k/10k Coilovers. Perfect world isn't so perfect.

You'll only have to adjust to a harsher ride. As long as you don't intentionally plow into potholes or treat steep inclines as launch ramps, you'll be okay.

If you participate in any of the aforementioned driving habits, please post pictures.


anyways

[hellion240sx]

Time crunches as in only have certain days/time to do little by little. 2 jobs and a start up business along with family and daily life.

I will NOT be plowing into potholes or steep inclines. I have gotten used to driving full stiff and full soft. Just gotta find the right balance. Tried full stiff in front full soft on back and that feels great so far. Going to nothing it down a few clicks.

teh smithers that s14 is weird but I like it. Not like that over the top fighter-plane themed one

really the only reason why i am is because i want to go with a 10 inch wide wheel without having a -30ish offset. also its hard to find a good tire size for 15's that are wide. the widest i could find in the sidewall i wanted was a 205/55/15

[hellion240sx]

Yeah I would consider 16*8 next time. All practicality went out the window with the 12k/10k co I put in lol

uhhhhhh how did you miss 225/50/15? they're still available in a lot of different tire models and damn near the exact same height as a 205/55

where cuz i looked on tire rack and a few other places and could not find em

[jaysgottaredtop]

maybe try this link

Ecstas, 912s, Proxes 4s, Maxxis Victra things, R1Rs or R888s if you're feeling ballin'...

i guess BFG stopped making theirs though. and a few others look to be out of production now too. the era of short wide tires is quickly coming to an end.

[ditchs14]

well fuck. thanks man

[SidewaysTaco]

didn't you already ask this before?

i'll repeat myself again: it depends on the wheel design. some wheels are reverse mount, some are not. the inner barrel diameter and shape varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and from model to model.

do you have a specific wheel in mind, or are you just trying to collect fitment data on ever 15" wheel ever made? lol

[LockOn!]

Just got the blacktop running. I need to dial in the front some more and fit the chuki aero again.

i asked somewhere not on here, lol no not every 15 ever made, figured i could compare wtvr wheels people have used to know what to look for when i actually start shopping around for 15s

[hellion240sx]

Working on the 240 today. Lowered the front another inch to inch and a half.

[ghoti]

[hellion240sx]

Yeah. 16x7 205/50 I believe

[hellion240sx]

Yeah, I could tell. I can tell the diff between 15 and 16. Easily. Going to take some pics of the car lowered.
