s13 on 18"s? (Attn: viceroy)

[CKAMC]

So I am browsing the wheel section again ...works...rays...jline...

and I notice that there hardly are any 17"'s available anymore.

i know that 18's look good on S14's but on a S13? IDK just doesn't seem to flow well... its like a small girl with big feet.

there is the argument that 18 inch performance tires are harder to come by than 17's...never had a problem getting 17's but I have yet to explore 18inch land.

Car is partly show but mainly track...you know make the car look decent while out there trying to send it to an early grave.

The ONLY wheels that looked good that were 18"s were Equips on a Kouki... all the coupes I have seen run 17's.

I am bored and dont feel like going out and about right now... so I decided I need to start a poll :keke:

[PS13SILVIA]

I think 18" rims look good on S13's but to make it look even better IMO you need sides, f/r bumpers then 18's start to look smaller and the car balances out more....

Here a pic of mine for reference its rollin on stock G35c 18's with 225/40/18 all around with TEIN owering springs, still need to get coilovers so I can lower it some more:

voted for 18's. they look good, only if done right tho. they need a good wheel with a good offset, car HAS to be lowered/slammed and some aero

This is my favortie S13 on 18's thats pimp, whats the specs of your rims and tires.....and what make of rims are those?

[lilredstiffy]

hey guys there is a 100 page thread

with dozens of s13s on 18s.

why do we need a poll or more pictures?

[koukimonster139]

aero = 18's
no aero/oem aero = 17's

same goes for s14 blah blah blah

there rota for sure...vs1's i think...as for the size its..in the how low can you go thread

[chmercer]

i hate 17s, looks stupid with aero, giant tires, etc. imo. 225/35/18, 245/35/18, etc. all smaller or the same size as normal 17 tires. 245/35 front 285/30 rear (what i will be running next set of tires) is smaller than oem.

any wheel looks good with good fitment, 18 19 20, but 17s with aero, either you have to run a big sidewall tire, or the car is like touching the road, to get good fitment.

I have a bad eye for wheel size difference between 17 and 18's and when I do see 18's they usually look like shit except for that red coupe :drool:

15's and 16's look a like to me.

thx chmercer... always good info from you!

[smelly240]

17s with wimpy aero - 18s with crazy mofo aero... big honkin monster aero - 18fr 19 rr

[ichibausa]

People please post pic of your 18" and offset. I voted 18" with Aero.

[Kaizen.]

I rather look big than small :naughty:

[Team Rootbeer]

but 17s with aero, either you have to run a big sidewall tire, or the car is like touching the road, to get good fitment.

i like the 17s with low low aero, but only on zenki s14. like BH style
and no aggresive style aero (bn, Origin aggressive, etc.) with 17s for sure.

[McRussellPants]

17 or 17/18 on a coupe.
17/18 on a hatch.

18in fronts generally look donk unless on BN or 326 aero.

Anything is gonna look like ass if you suck at wheel fitment or are otherwise faking the funk.

The classiest thing about 17in fronts, is you can cheap out and burn 17s in the back and not have your car look like asspile with 18F/17R.

Polls in polls (http://www.zilvia.net/f/forumdisplay.php?f=12) FTW!

[hitman]

ya 18f/17r stagger isnt too sick lol sometimes you see 18/15 super tight

[ejkisela]

To the track 17fr 18r, at the track 17 fr 17 r. Right now I am 17/17 Stich mesh. Have two extra 17 inch for the track, Work VS mesh and Stich 1 piece mesh.

[origin_s135]

there rota for sure...vs1's i think...as for the size its..in the how low can you go thread

those aren't rota's. those are the work vs-xx.

[Ritz S14]

those aren't rota's. those are the work vs-xx.


lol..

Work Termist TM1.

That Rota thing was a joke.

[big_schaf]

^you got me then haha

[mr_240sx]

imho
17's with stock body or stock aero
18's with aftermarket aero

they both look aweful if the wrong offset.

heres some 18's on mine.

[CKAMC]

seen 17f 18r and looks a bit interesting but not something I would go for right off the bat.

in fact I think the car I like the most is on 18's

http://www.hipposleek.co.jp/d-pad_s13/image/main.jpg

debating about these two other aero body's as well...

[azndummie]

Iono i seem to like the 17's on s13's better but 18's do look tight on aftermarket aero. I'd still stick with 17's though

[JSpecBnr32]

well 18's look sick for street and cruisin and shit, from my experience i could never go as low as i wanted with 18's up front on an s13 without rubbing everywhere at full lock this is with 225/40/18's on 18x9.5 +9, at events i usually drift with 17's up front its just more practical no rubbage, on my current coupe though im doing some serious inner fender well mods to be able to run 18's the way i want! 215/40/18's on 18x10's up front here i come!!

[markyboi]

depends on the aero...17's look good on oem aero or non agressive aero

[s13silady]

18's for sure with aero... i put 17's with 40 series tires on my car, and my aero touched the ground haha.. im running 18's now... picture of my car in sig for reference. gotta lower it a tad more though.

[JesusFreakDrifter]

i saw an s13 on xd9 it was red, are there anymore on these forums, i would love to see some tuck'n

[nothingfancy]

i have 19x8's all way around on my 92 coupe. looks good and rides pretty good

i have 19x8's all way around on my 92 coupe. looks good and rides pretty good
i would like to see this as well.

************************************************

as for this post i think 17's in the front and 18's in the rear. 18's will fit in front for s13's but you have alot more room with 17's in the front!

[EDacIouSX]

i think anythign over 18 is just too big. i got flamed like -50 times for saying 18s are a little big on s13 and 19s are too big on s14s... lol. anyway i think 18s are ok on s13s. What is more important is the width of the rim IMO. I'll vote 18s on s13...


edit: Someone keeps fucking negative repping me because i think 19s and 20s is too big to go on a s14 and that 18s are a little bit big on s13s. fucking some people on zilvia honestly. whoever this is your a faggot and your gay for thinking 20s on a s14 looks good

[s14kouki44]

17's...the only time i've liked 18's on an s13 was when it had an origin body kit

[CKAMC]

when its all said and done the hotness will be 17 fronts and 18 backs
