help plz wheel fitment issue

[danew604]

ok i am thinking of picking a set of work equips
they are
18x10 -20 up front
18x12 -20 in the rear

i have a 30mm front overfender
and a 50 mm rear overfender that is still in japan

will it fit? i searched for awhile some ppl are running specs thats close... but i guess i should just pick it up and if it doesnt fit i should just pick up some fender flares too? lol

Assuming you have an S13...

If you already have flush wheels on your stock body, use that to determine the difference in size.

Camber will add or subtract about 5mm for each degree. -1 degree of camber = 5mm less offset.

Front should fit fine with about 3-4 degrees of camber. Every chassis is different. Hope you don't plan on doing any aggressive driving though with those HUGE wheels, you're going to need to compensate for them. Stronger arms and stuff. Solid rack bushings. New rack maybe.

My guess is the rears will fit but you're going to be running some aggressive camber and you'll want to stretch the tires pretty heavily.

If they don't fit, it'll probably be only a few mm off. Just jack up the car, grab some newspaper, put it on the top of your tire about 1/2" thick, disconnect the rear suspension, use a heat gun on the fender to get it hot and drop the car on the tire. Should bend out the fiberglass to fit.

I say no, give them to me!

That's pretty agressive, you can probably fit it though.

Front
18x9 w/15 offset fits nicely in the front with a bit of inner clearance and nice flushness to the fender. I think about -2degrees camber. Not really an agressive fit, but looks good.

Your wheels are going to stick out an additional 48mm, which is 18mm further than your overfenders are adding. You can probably tuck it in with more camber and a moderate stretch. I don't think you'll have inner clearance issues at all.

18x10 w/25 offset fits in the rear with good flushness and -2/-3 degrees camber.

Your wheels will stick out an additional 70mm, which is 20mm further than your overfenders are adding. Definately go with a big stretch and prepare for maxing your camber out. Inner clearance not an issue.
