Need info on max Wheel/Tire combo without rubbing

[Red]

Sup All

If I could get some info on the MAX Wheel/Tire combo I can have without my wheel's rubbing

I see alot of 235-40-18 (front) and 265-40-18 (rear) tires on on the web for our 240's

[Nismos14]

235's in the front may rub without spacers and 265 will rub in the back without spacers

Depends on the car and offset. S13's won't support those widths without flares. I've seen numerous S14's with those widths, no flares. Of course if HA coilovers are run you bite into width as well, so it depends on the set-up.

What is off-set anyways i'm kinda lame when it comes to Wheels and Tires.

you can search zilvia for offset stuff otherwise go to tirerack and look at their stuff

http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/offset.htm

also, 19s seem real big for the 240, so it kinda depends on if you are going for the big wheel look (which is fine) or pure performance. &nbsp;I'd stick with 16-18&quot; wheels for this tire outside diameter. &nbsp;Also, most people seem to like what they have and 16-18 is most common.

since we are on the topic. &nbsp;wil 17x7 or 17x8 fit my s13 w/o spacers? &nbsp;i'm thinking about either getting 17x7 or 17x8 or 16x7, but i don't know which is the best choice

[AJ]

all of those should fit with the right offset.

why do you want such huge wheels? it'll just make you slower
