s14 tire size fitment help?

[blueshark123]

im tryin to get some rims for my s14 and i would like to know if these rims will fit with out a pull or roll the sizes are 17x9 +24mm offset with 235/40r/17 and for the rear they are 17x10.5 +27mm offset with 255/40r/17 the rear wheel well has the lip bent up but has no pull or roll. thank u in advance

In the rear you will need a pull for sure. The front you SHOLD be fine though you might need a roll at most. but im 90% sure you're fine on the front, 100% positive you need a pull on the rear.

[blueshark123]

what if i go for 17x9 all around also i cant roll front cause they are fiberglass fenders

[blueshark123]

well the front are also 20mm wider thenstock so i should be good for the front

the front will be sunken in a tad bit. On stock fender im going 18x9 +0 and 18x10+10 with pull in the rear. you might want to check out some wheel fitment threads on the forum. http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=129865 I'm going to be running some very agressive fitment. on stock fender if I were to run 235/40 in front I would probably do that a 18x9+12.

If i were you and wanted to fit 235/40/17 and have a conservative setup I would run on a stock body:

17x9 +15 235/40
17x10 +25 255/40

very conservative fitment would be 17x9 +20 and 17x10+30, with -1 camber all around.

I believe the very conservative setup would be more for people who care about handling and are aiming for time attack. Though i'd go beefier tires if it was time attack. I'm not an expert and too lazy to type, maybe someone can correct me.

what tires would u recommend if i ran the 17x9 27mm offset for front and rear i

[EDacIouSX]

that depends on what you want. normally I think you want more traction in the rear. I would not go 9 in the rear though and I would personally run staggered. If you are going for performance I can't help you there unfortunately...

[blueshark123]

i dont have stock fenders cause i have a s15 conversion done

[blueshark123]

i want staggered but they only have the rim 17x9 or 17x10.5 and i domt want to pull my rear fenders cause it just got itpainted and the rims arre for performance not just looks cause im doing 1/4 miles

You're referring to mustang wheels.

The fronts should clear but it will be tight, depending on what coilover it might rub.

The rears you'll need a pull.

[blueshark123]

i got stock suspension for now im just gonna end up going 17x9 all around with a slight stretch on the tires then later upgrade does anybody have pics of the mustang rims on there car.

something no one ever seems to consider around these places is the effect of running such low offsets has on how the car handles.....you're massive increasing stock scrub radius, and decreasing the wheel rate of the spring.

anyways thats a pretty aggressive rear wheel, definately going to have to work those rear fenders.

17x10 +33 or +34 basically puts the outside edge of the lip dead nuts even with the outside (vertical) edge of the fender, with no flare at all..in the rear.
17x9 +28 or so does the same in the front.

so if you have + 20mm front fenders then +8 should put your real close to normal flush.....

in zilvia terms you could subtract about 20mm from each of those figures!!

I once tried to explain to my friend that higher offset wheels is actually better for handling and he pretty much said who cares....
