Post your wheels and tire setup

[NiteKids]

I'm just curious what everyone is running here for wheels and tires set up. Please state diameter and how wide your wheels are also tires size. Oh yes and also kind of wheels you have. I guess I'll start.

Hey, do your southern ways mesh hit your front calipers?

[Dousan_PG]

nope
30mm front bolt on spacer. its always on. clearanceis a non issue. and oh i require -3.5 neg camber front. but thats' primarily for the addiction i have. addiction to drifting

[Digity]

Sweet, I thought i was the only one with a wierd offset using a spacer, i have that same width and offset using the Longchamps XR4s in the fronts, do you have pics of your setup?

hahha thanks. i plan to sell em tho hahaha and get something wider.

my new rims setup would probably be 17x8.5 17x9.5..i dunno but 9.5 in the rear. too bad the typhoons only go up to 9

[Bliss]

If you guys have pictures, could you post/link to them? It looks like there some nice rims on some nice, and I'm sure not so nice :D , cars here. Oh, and BTW, hello Zilvia.net.

[NiteKids]

You should have got the typhoons atleat 9 out in the back instead of your 8's all around. Yeah 9 wasn't exaclty as wide as I wanted but it will do. Some time I'm going to go down to Alta and find a nice set of 5 lug wheels for the back. My typhoons rubber in the rear is wearing out hella fast. I saw some nice 18x10 super advans at Alta taht I liked that I slap on the rear for awhile.

Techno Speed Z-2

17x9 +32 other offset option +38, +41H, +45 +22H
17x10 +22 other offset option +45

super Advans: 17x9.5 +24!!!!
BLITZ: 17x9/17x10 +22!!!!

just use a little neg. camber and roll your fenders slightly for good measure... Those options would look siiiiick!!!

[Dousan_PG]

i still love the kei office 17x10 +12
that's SICK. damn so sexy with such offset. mm mm mmmmm
fender flares rock. wide fenders.

[pruto]

300zx tt wheels

front 16x7.5 +45 with 1/4" spacer 225/50/ZR16
rear 16x8.5 +35 with 1/8" spacer 245/45/ZR16

tires are yokohama avs intermediate

cheap, wide wheels =) bad offset tho, good all purpose wheels


here is what i have lined up for future drifting (still waiting on LSD)

front 16x7 +31 advan SA3 205/55/16
rear 15x7 +0 steelies 205/50/15 (don't ask, looks ghetto, you guys can make fun of it at the RS-R event)

that's some sick camber.. how do u achieve neg 3.5 precicly ..camber bolts?...camber plates?

[DoriftoSlut]

+30 on those if you go with them (noooo don't conform!!) Hehehe. Don't be a pussy; get wide fenders or fender rolling if it is needed! Looks awesome, and not many people do it in the US (b/c NO ONE here gets good offset whees nowadays...):rolleyes:

[mrmephistopheles]

S14 SE 16x6.5 +35?
I dunno the offset. I just know that they clear my Z brakes and coilovers.
The tires.. are nothing special. I picked them up for free at the dealership.

My dream wheels are R33 GTR.

[christopher]

Stock for now,


I have a set of mismatched 16" 5zigen N1 Becketts sitting in their boxes next to my couch right now. Without the car running they function better as end tables than wheels.

Need tires for 'em still.

[huntz0r]

7-spoke S13 stock alloys
front 195/60-15 Dunlop SP Sport A2
rear 195/60-15 Dunlop H Touring

Probably going to replace the rears with Sport A2's in a few months.

[Dousan_PG]

oh i picked up some centerlines (full set-dirt cheap)..er..i THINK they are 15x8.5 -6 i have to remeasure

lip is 5". back is 4.5"
i suck at math

tires were 205/60/15 iirc

anyways, someone calculate for me.

also, they look like SSR MKI.

they stick out about 1.5" w/ -4 camber. no worries, its for my next car :) sick.

[Zemus]

I have

Front: American Racing Rims 15x7 with Kumho 711 215/50/15s +40 offset
Back: American Racing Rims 15x7 with Kumho 711 215/50/15s +40 offset

Soon to be painted back with a silver lip. should look awesome
Somthing like this i hope

[AKADriver]

Tried taking the center caps off? Just IMO, those old AR 5-spokes look strangely good with no center caps, especially if you paint them to get rid of the machined finish. They come out kinda looking like Regamaster Evo's...

I used to have them off but with a silver rim and under the cap is black it looks funny, but once i paint them, the caps are coming off, which will make the wheels look, MUCH better

You still have stock tires? If you do i would be very suprised, after 10 or so years i would be suprised tires would still be able to performe well.

I ordered the same setup, except w +27 offset in the front (someone at Auto Imaging said that it was recommended)...w/ ES100s same size.

I seen your set up. Looks good!

[Carisma•FR]

Work Ewing Mesh, 15x7 +15 offset front & back wrapped with 205/60/15 crappy Michellins

Looks perfect in the back with rolled fenders and a little neg camber. The front tires stick out like 1/4" over the fenders but no rubbing since my front is not that low.;)

[Dousan_PG]

are you sure its +15?
sound like it would be lower offset if it sticks out w/ a tad of neg camber

i use 15x7.5 +17 and it doesnt stick out. and my friend had 15x7 +10 and didnt stick out. hmm interesting

I'm sure it's +15 cause it's labeled on the back of each rims. The front has almost 0 degree camber (visually) ever since I dropped the car with Eibach sportlines. I'll need to dial in some neg camber (~-2) to make the front wheels tuck in a little more.

In retrospect, should have gone wider all around, but oh well. I'm thinking of going with 205's next time to get that "streched" feel.

[CoasTek240]

what does it mean when u say "roll the fenders"

is it just crimping the inner lip on the fender well?...

also what type of spacers do ya'll have..?
do u reccomedn the pdm ones...
