wheel fitment ? help please

[kuppler8]

ok im going to be getting a set of wheels, in the next week or two. i have decided on the enkie rpf1's, but my question is that id like to try and run 18x10.5 +15 all the way around, my big concern is rubbing, and if that size will clear my coil overs (stance gr+) in the front. mini tubs in the front isnt a concern if need be, i have a welding/fab shop at my disposal, and yes im well aware i will need over fenders. id like to fit the front with as little strech and camber as nessicary. im sure theres a post in one of the many wheel fitment threads but when you work 70+ hours a week you dont have time to scroll through close to 100 page. anyways any help or insight would be greatly apreciated thanks.

first off, read the wheel fitment whore thread. just cuz you work alot doesn't entitle you to get spoon fed. i know for a fact that there is a member with 10.5j rpf1s all around (with overfenders). you should also mention what car you have. s13? s14? tubs are for sure a good idea though. as are over fenders. it is possible though and will look sick as all hell.
(ill be nice and just tell you to check pg 69 of the wheel whore thread.)

sorry, if you're gonna work on cars, u gotta do research first. take a day off and do it

[Bushido]

you'll be able to run 10.5's all around, but be prepared to modify the fender wells, whether that be with a hammer or replacing the tubs. 18x10.5's on the front are gonna feel real heavy, esp with big tires.

you're gonna have to stretch the tires a bit if you care about appearance, unless you go with a zg type overfender.

good luck!

10.5J +15 will be tough to fit. You got alot of angles to worry about. Yes the fenders will need to worked on but thats the least of your worries. Finding aftermarket fenders wide enough to fit it will be interesting. Then, like bushido already stated, kiss your full lock good bye. Itll rub all over the inside of the fender well. Hammering where it rubs or better yet, dont slam the car so low so you have a bit more room. Then finally, 10.5j +15 more than likely wont clear the coilovers. Then again, it all depednds on the coilover and the rim itself. Not all coilovers have the same strut diameter and not all rim companies measure their rims the same way.

I had a set of 17x10 +12 FN01s up front with 235/40 tires. I had to add an 8mm spacer to clear my MR coilover. My current car right now has a set of RPF01 17x10 +18, I had to slip on 5mm (3mm would have been enough) to clear my Aragosta coilover.

I was looking for info on the same myself, so I know exactly where to find these buried deep in their respective threads, lol... These may not answer your questions precisely, but I hope they help at least...

18x10.5 +15 front and rear with a 3mm slip on spacer in the front
235 40 18 tires
-4 camber front, -1 camber rear
adjusted a little positive castor in the front
stock fenderzzzz
Rubbed a little, not as crazy as I thought though. I see alot of setups on here that rub worse.
Old pics, now running big spacers overs and rockin fresh black paint.

And

Here is mine:

YOUR CHASSIS: s13

WHEELS: Enkei RPF1 17x9.5f 17x10r +18


TIRES: 255/40/17f 275/40/17r

MISC DETAILS: stock engine.

PURPOSE OF CAR: My driving is primarily in the mountains, on/offramps, etc.. some autocross and road racing later this year.

I am working to bring it lower. There have been many clearance issues in the past and probably many more to come. I'm surprised there hasn't been more talk in this thread about clearance tips.

I am going to add more rear camber and drop it. it hardly has any negative camber at all. I just pulled my fenders and put the wheels on, didn't really mess with any settings yet in the back, besides toe.

I have about 1mm clearance right here when the wheel is turning.

and here also, but I will probably remove or relocate the window washer fluid crap.

comes close here too.

Any tips anyone? I have bonked out a whole lot of rubbing areas in my wheel wells with a sledgehammer, relocated the harnesses and bonked in that lip at the top and back of the front wheel wells. No hammering or anything else was necessary in the rear, except the fender pull.

And more...
Did some work on my 240, played with the alignment some more, here are the results.

http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c195/Kinematics/93coupe2/IMG_0562.jpg

front camber is now at -3, rear is at -2.5ish? I have no way to measure beyond making it equal on both sides, so I am not sure of the exact amount.

I put the rear down another .5 inches.. I think I have room to drop the car another inch all around. Then I will probably be satisfied with the right height.
