Hey Fellas,

Will a 275/30 tire fit a s14? The tire is on a 9.5" rim? Will it fit if the fenders rolled? Anyone have this set up?


Thanks

With the right offset and camber settings it will fit in the rear. 275 up front would require a LOT of work. Who the fxck requires a 275 in front anyways?

Will it fit in the REAR if the rim has a 45 offset?

NO, not without a bagillion degrees of camber and pulled fenders.

9.5 +45 will fit..but not sure about tire

i suck at this wheel math BUT ill give a shot. i am not sure if i am right....


r33 GTR is 9" +30
fits fine in rear (with a tad of camber)

.5 inch=12mm

45mm-30mm=15mm

so you are about the same place (3mm sunk more?)

tires..NO i dont think will fit. i think you'll rub suspension and fender...not sure though. 275 is ridiculous.

on my s14 i have 18x9" rims up front with 225/40/18 Yokohama Avids and the wheels have a +6 offset. It fits, but it does stick out about 1/4 inch. with my 12mm overfenders, there's no prob.
On the rears, I have 18x10" with 235/40/18 with +11 offset. Fenders are rolled. No prob. I like the super stretched tire look of JDM cars.
for your situation, I guess it'll fit depending on what brand of tires, since some tires seem to run a bit wider then others, and also what offset you have. upfront, 275's...probably not.

yea, not sure if i was clear..... the rim will fit but with a 275 on there, not without some work.

I have 265's on my s14 and they fit fine. My car is not lowered (yet). 275's should fit with the right offset and rolled fenders of course. Might get some rubbing if the car is lowered.

17x10 +45 with a 275/40 tire fits perfectly fine in the rear of my S14. Im only running -2.1 of camber. 275/30? Im guessing this is for a 19 inch rim. So my figures might not be able to help you.

how do you guys not have rubbing in the front, ive got 8" rims in front +35 with 5mm spacer, and its lowered about 1.5-1.7 in front and it rubs just on slight cornering with 235/40/17's

it only rubbed with the 5mm spacer, but not without the spacer

for one, a 235 is pretty large for an 8" wide tire....im assuming it hit the fender when you had teh spacers on there...
