So if you want to be sitting flush then lower the offset both to about +0 of you want to run stretched tires, or else it will look stupid. Or just pick a right sized tire and go 245 front and 275 back and you'll be good.

Here's my old z.

not really looking for a extreme stretch just a slight stretch...

so 245/40/18 fronts and 275/40/18 rears?

Yes sir! Actually go with a 275/35/18 to make them even out. Or else the rears will sit taller and look like baby monster truck tires. Like mine:



OR GO 265 in the back if you want a slight stretch.

you left a very important part out. what size tires do you want to run? 255/40F 265/40R?

I have tein coilovers and I was planning on running 245 or 255 tires with 225's up front. I had spacers when I ran stock suspension with Z32 tt wheels and was able to loose the spacers when I installed the Tein coilovers.

So, I bought a set of CE28Ns for my S14 a few months ago (then came the Swedish winter, no place to work on my car = storage) so haven't tried mounting them yet. All four wheels are 18x9.5 +15, and I'm planning on running 225/40s (Federal 595s maybe?). Got coilovers and camber arms of course. Two Q's:

Rear: Am I good with just a tight roll? Some camber too, of course, I just don't want a lot of it.

Front: Removing the fender liner, required? Any other issues I could run into up front?

[h2v7]

s13. whats the best specs i should run with aggressive wheel fitment WITHOUT SPACERS.

was thinking 17x9.5 +12

those would clear front coils and fit semi flush with maybe a little bit of roll correct?

[1Day]

Quick question guys, I'm looking at getting some 18x11 -13 CCWs and I was wondering if these would fit good under a S14 with 50mm chargespeed rear overs or should I go with something a little wider? Dont want to run lots of rear camber of course...

[MedHat240sx]

Wondering about some Sportmax (xxr) 526 on a stock body with a fender roll i wanna know if i can fit these under my car without a pull. 17x9 not sure of the offset i think its +35

[killa_Cam]

I have a 98 camry xle on 20x8.5 with no problems. I wanted to run 18x10 xxr 521 all around. What do I need to do and what size of tires do I need to put on there. The car is lowered on Eibach springs

[tincans13]

Planning on lowering my S13 but I refuse to use the se alloys so I need new wheels, and I'm broke so I'm probably just going to get some steelies for now. Is something like a 225/50 on a 15x9 or 15x10 possible? Suggested offset?

You'd need some pull, all depends on how much camber you have. More camber, less fender work. But this is also dependent on how low you are.

Fender liner, again, depends on how low you are. Everybody takes theirs off, problem you'd run into is you'd have to relocate the wiring harness (do a search on fender harness relocation, there should be a couple of guides) and you'll get dirt/rocks crunching by your door/back fender.

Should be good to go...slap some 215 or 225/45 tires.

Get the wheels first with tires, mount them on the car, lower the car and get a full alignment. Then put in the fenders, you should be able to bow the fenders in or out to fit with 50mm.

+35 wont fit up front, you'd need atleast +25 or so to run 9js to clear the struts.

9js, I'd shoot for about +12 to 0 offset for the front. 10js in the rear and shoot for about +12.

Biggest tire? What are you trying to do? You looking for a stretched setup or widest amount of tires? Look into the wheel fitment thread to give you an idea or the Maximum tire thread to figure out what you want...

Could someone tell me what size wheel spacer/ offset i would need to make it look flush.The sizes are 18x9 in the front and 18x10.5 in the rear. I was planning to add 25 mm spacer for the 18x9 0 front and 22 mm 18x10.5-2 for the rear but wasnt too sure of what looked best for what i wanted. im scared 18x9 with 0 offset is gna be too much of a poke.

i drive a sil-eighty( s13 fastback) and my coils are maxed out low in the rear and almost maxed out in the front. i want it to sit like this s13 right here. hes running 18x9 +6 and 18x10 -1. found it on rimtuck. so please help, and sorry if this question was already asked. i searched using the forums tools and thread tools but no luck.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Fuck buying shitty sizing wheels and spend more money on inch wide spacers to make them "flush". There gotta be some other shitty knock off wheels out there that are sized around 9.5j/10.5j +12.

But if you're stuck with the wheels already, why dont you just match the red car's offset with the other spacers instead of slapping the 25mm and 22mm?

[Krazy 300zx]

Hey, I've been searching but so far all I've seen were stretched tire fitments.

I want to know what the best size rim/tire and offset for the front and the rear of a 1995 240sx? I want it to sit pretty flush with the fenders rolled but no pull or stretched tires. I would also prefer to run like a 245 atleast in the rear for a little traction.

For an example can i run 9" all around with 245's, if so what offset would i need?

I plan on getting some xxr 521's.

[fliprayzin240sx]

9j with 245s, I'd probably run +25 to +18 all around if you dont want to pull the fender at all.

Okay thanks man!

[MedHat240sx]

Can a silvia s13 fit 9.5 inch XXR 526 with a fender roll no pull succsesfully without having to pull? i think the offset is like +35 on both. or can any1 find a picture cuz i dont want to look through the 500 pages of wheel fitment crap to find it.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Read what I posted up earlier and answered your question...

Again, you wont find anybody rocking those sizing because IT WONT FUCKING FIT!!! Fronts wont clear the suspension...you need lower offset. If you dont want to pull the fenders, read what I posted up before your last post.

Lastly, stop asking this same question multiple times and in multiple threads...if you've done some research, you would have already known that 9j +30 doesnt clear the strut without spacers. Think Skyline GTR wheels...

[MedHat240sx]

What offset will clear the front. N will the rear the resr coils?

[fliprayzin240sx]

Read up...I already answered what offset you'd need. If you still cant comprehend that...go sell that car and get an accord. Will go perfect with 9j +35.

true that with the accord joke lol.

just to clarify once again, no rims will clear coils up front on any 240sx unless the offset is +25 or lower and is at least 8.5 wide. i know 9.5 +15 barely clear coils on a s14 up front. hope this helps

if you are getting the 521's get them 18x8.5 +25 with 225/40 for the front and 18x10 +25 with 255/35 for the rears. they should clear coils up front with no spacers and be flushed with -1 camber and with about -2 camber in the rear with no pull. u do need to roll obviously.

hope this helps.

thanks flipinrayz420!!!!!!!!!

your like wheel fitment guru

Depends on coils but R34 wheels will usually clear coils, clear pbm and stance but megans wont. Ive had all those coils with GTR wheels.


That was with no spacer, I later added a 30mil, with no pull just a roll

[2jzaristo1]

What size tires should i run on 18x9.5 +15 battles on my s14? I want to stay super slammed and still have tire performance and not massive under-steer. Also with the battles whats the best size spacer to run all the way around for semi poke? I was planning on 15mm in the front and 20-25 mm in the rear, just a bit unsure, any help would be appreciated thanks.

I used to run 225/40 on my 9.5 te's and I really liked it. You could do 215 but I think it's too much of a stretch.

[1gr8bar10der]

Just got mine mounted today. Sumitomo HTR Zlll 235/40 on 10.5" rim going on the rear of my S13 coupe. Mild stretch with no problem at all
