i also bought the set of coilovers, so i can manage the front wheels with some camber, but in the back..
so i need recomendations, buy overfenders or pull the oem fender?

[ILoveMyRHS13]

There are plenty of options.

1) Smaller tire.
2) More camber.
3) Roll/pull the fenders.
4) Lower the car.
5) All of the above.

If you need overfenders for fucking Rotas, you've done something wrong.

wheels & tires specs:

Rota P45R
17x9 +12 235/40
17x9.5 +12 255/40

[ThatGuy]

Lower, mild camber, roll.

No overfenders needed.

qft........

how much i can pull the oem rear fender?

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Quite a bit.

Don't bother until you've lowered the car, though.

[ThatGuy]

Enough to make a 9.5" fit with some camber.

Have you even bothered to browse the "Wheel Fitment Thread"?

[mattack69]

Lower, mild camber, roll.

No overfenders needed.

That's what she said, but srsly listen to Thatguy! :2f2f:

[whiterps13]

Jesus dude, maybe its because youre running fucking balloon tires.
Lower, camber, stretched tires, rolled fenders. You should be running a 225/40 or something like that.
Heres my setup, 18x9.5 +15 on 215/40's. Same wheels, decently low, camber, rolled fenders.

[initial240sx]

[kalypso123]

real talk.

If you want to run that big of a tire you generally need to run much less aggressive size/offsets, at least for the back.

I run the same tires sizes with a 17x9 +22 in front and 17x9.5 +38 in back. It's not hellajdmflush, but it's good enough, doesn't rub, and I can put power down just fine at autox and track days.

another question, if i measure the 9J wheel from the front lip to the back lip, the tape measure 10J and with the 9.5J - 10.5J, is this right? or it has a mistake?

you dont measure the outside. only the inside of the rim. the lip itself is half an inch thin on both sides. measure with the end of the tape measure pressed on the inside of the rim. achieved only with the tire off of course.
hope that helps.

[Nick_04K]

Exact same specs on my car. No need for overs at all. Sell the meaty tires for cash to get some 215/40 or something like that. That is the sizes everyone else with a 9j and offset like that use.

[jspecusa]

you'll need adjustable rear upper control arm to adjust more camber.
you are warned that you'll have tire wear problem on the inside if you have alot of camber.
price to pay to look good.

[aled]

Oh Lol.

But, yeah...what everyone else said.

do you have pics of your car?

[Lovely Idol Inc.]

One of the Lovely Idol cars runs 9.5 up front with 215/35 and 10.5 out back with 235/40, slight roll, just let the car camber in as it wanted to when it was slammed.


They will fit just fine on your car

[kuelee]

Be honest with you, its your car. U dont have to listen to all these assholes. Just how zilvians are... Bunch of dicks.. Get fenders if you want. If its your DD dont fucken camber shit out of it. But its up to you, your car remember..

[OBEEWON]

You can fit that as is, you dont even need to sell those tires.

Just remember:

sin = o/h cos = a/h tan = o/a

[midnite]

coilovers and roll your fenders man....better yet let me take those wheels off your hands you dont know what your doing lol

[Nick_04K]

do you have pics of your car?

Not used to posting pics up here, ill give it a whirl for you tomorrow though.

[fckillerbee]

have you even seen our wheel fitment thread????

why is this thread still going?????

[Dazzla]

You won't need RUCAS for those either.

[initial240sx]

i bought those wheels, base on the wheel fitment thread... so i dont know why they're out of the car about inch and a half

[Lovely Idol Inc.]

If you lower your car and push the front camber in a little they won't stick out

[initial240sx]

done, without overfenders or pull fenders, thanks to all..

Coilovers
Roll Fenders
Adjust Camber on the front
RUCA for the back, i still have to buy RUCA... but with the lowering and the oem camber on the back, it looks better now..

The lower you go, the better they will fit.....more or less anyway
