im specifically looking for tire/spacer/overfender size
hes running cr kais in 18x9.5 and overs. to my knowledge all the overfenders are the same, 50mm. i dont understand how hes got a 9.5 w/ overs and still be flush..unless he has like a huge spacer, but it doesnt appear that the spacers are too huge on the close up shots.

over are 30mm not 50.
it's the offset, also people never notice that most
wide wheels with low offset are running alot of camber.
with correct stock camber most of those setup will stick out.

there is almost no camber on those wheels, thats why they sit flush
thats how they should be lol

I have 17x9 CR Kai and they are exactly flush with +17 and no spacer....
18x9.5 come in +12, +20, +30, +38
Based upon how much they "cave in" toward the center, I would guess they are +12
Even then, that would make them stick out only about 17mm more than mine (add 12.7 mm if 9.5 wide, +17, then add 5mm more bc +12)
However, they sit flush with the overfenders...
If the overfenders are 30mm, my guess is they are +12mm with a 10 mm spacer
But, if you look at the 3rd picture, I think you can see the spacer in there....it looks it might be thicker than 10 though....so maybe +20mm with like a 20-25mm spacer

The kais look like 18x9.5 +12 and the over fenders are 30mm.
That's how mine looks like on my hatch. I'm sure S14 allow wider wheels in the rear so he might be using a 10mm spacer.
You can actually bulge out the overfender to make it blister out more by squeezing it together.

I think your setup is fine as it is,but if you like ad a 5mm spacer....
you might have to adjust the camber a little or roll and slightly pull the fenders a little.
BTW:If I'm not mistaken,did you buy that car from SFL?

I get these type of email all the time.
"I want a set of wheel that's
1. big lip
2. no rubbing
3. no damages
4. don't have to camber
5. don't have to roll fenders.
6. clear z brake and coilover
and I want it cheap as possible.
my reply "make it fit" there are no short cut.

well those wheels fit on my stockbodied s14 with just a rear roll. i want to run overfenders and 295's on that 10in rear. i have cusco ruca so i could increase positive camber on the rear, camber is pretty negative right now..just unsure on spacer size
thanks

well if your unsure of spacing size
try installing the wide fender with your current set up. then measure how sunken the wheels are then buy the correct size spacer.
problem solved

The thing with over fenders is that they can be "bowed" when you install it. You can bow it out to give you more than 30mm or you can stretch and bow it in so itll be less than 30mm. Always buy the rims first with tires, put it on, then put the fenders on so you itll be FITTED properly.
