265/40/17 or 255/40/17...how did you clear
 

Is anyone running a non staggered 265/40/17 or a 255/40/17 on their S14? How the fuck did u clear the coilovers? Big spacer? Please post what works and what doesn't, want to know before i make the jump.

i ran 255/40/17 and 275/40/17 w/rpf1 17x9.5 +38 off set, i have a 20mm spacer all around

9.5in and 10.5 in Volk LE37 25mm spacer all around. 255/i forget/18, 275/35/18

This would all depend on the offset of the wheel or yes spacers, and then once it clears that you would have to worry about the fender.

look at the back of your rims, it should say an ET number. That is your offset. I assume you have higher offset wheels if they wont clear the coilover. Thus get 1.5 or 2 inch spacers and roll and flare with a bat until they dont hit fender. If your on stock front fenders get 1.5 inch spacers (38mm) if your on +20 or +30mm fenders get 2 inch spacers (50mm)

I got some new 275/40/17 F's for a good deal if your interested

255/40/17 BFG kdw 2's clear by about a business card in the front at -2.5 degrees of camber or less. The backs clear under -2.0 degrees of camber by about a business card, also. I don't have any issues rubbing the coils anymore. I did when I had a more aggressive camber setup.

i got fn's 17x10 with +12 255-40-17s no problems with coilovers o camber but rear quarter panels rolled the hell out.. as long as you get 20+ or less offset youll be fine.:mepoke:

I test fitted my 255 40's on my Battles (17x9.5 +15) and it doesn't fit under my rolled fenders (gonna need a small pull). How much camber are you running ATM?

Got any pictures?

No pics. but i had to pull the rear fenders to the point were the top has a crease and edge comes out about 2inches.. so a small pull wont be enough.

255/40/17 on a 17x10+18, i need a bit more of a pull in the back. front is rolled also, clears fine with a -.5 camber up front.

I ran a 245/45/17 on 17x9+28 all around with a 8ish mm spacer before that.

spacers, fender roll and depending on your offset of the wheels

as said above, it depends on your wheel offset. I am running 17x9 (+35?) RPF1 fronts with 235/40/17 Falken Azenis RT615 tires and had to run a small spacer to clear the coilovers. The rears are 17x9.5 (also +35 I think) RPF1s with Nitto NT05 275/40/17s with no spacer and a slight pull/roll. I hope to switch to NT05 255/40/17 fronts and move up to 17x10 +18 RPF1s in the rear, and then it'll be happier. Fenders are rolled but stock for now. I will probably move to a widebody setup in the spring.

Like Tenchuu posted up...heres my old S14 with 17x10 +18 RPF1s on 255/40-17 Nitto NT01s all around.

255 40's on Battles (17x9.5 +15) and it's rubbing in the front. I'm not sure what camber is at ATM. Would a 5mm slip on spacer make it clear? Damn....

well im running 18x9.5 +15 with 245/35/18 up fronts (clears my z brakes and my fender really well) and my rears im running 18x10.5 +18 with 265/36/18. I needed to roll my rear fenders slightly but came out sweet....

to get an understanding of this...check out www.rimtuck.com...it will show you the offsets on each car and wheels.

17x9 +35 on 5mm spacer all around on my s14. 235/45/17 on all four wheels.

my rpf1 18x9.5 ET +15 rubbed on my coilovers i needed 7mm spacers and it still credit card flush

Love the RPF1!

i ran 17x9.5 +12 255/40r17 falken rt-615k with only a roll. cleared everything just fine full lock to lock.

You guys should also mention how much negative camber F&R you had to run to get them to fit.

First off, old thread, second, no one makes a 265/40/17-sized tire. It doesn't exist. Third, thread necromancy, mmmmmm

Ever hear of Bridgestone, Michelin, Goodyear, or Federal?
