Wheel Fitment Question Thread - Page 101 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

slower than you · 03-21-2014, 10:24 AM

I don't know for sure and don't know if anyone knows, but I would guess probably 15x7.5 0 offset or so. Probably 195/60/15. Might even be 14's.

jalgo3 · 03-21-2014, 10:45 AM

I drive a 96 s14 zenki i just got a set of wheel 18x10 +12 all around what would be the best tire size would these sit flush or would i need a spacer? Before i get flamed im new to this whole thing so im trying to get as much info as possible and yes i have searched around maybe im over looking it but i cant find what im looking for. anyone have pictures of a close offset and wheel size please post. Also include tires size!

Sorry, perhaps I should've been a bit more detailed on that one. I was asking what your favorite source for wheels, where a company has great customer service & wheels @ a good price.

If you do, just see what their specs are if its not listed already...PMing the person who posted it up never hurts...

There is a lot of planning involved to achieve the look you want, there's no question about that. I'll do some more research and return to the thread once I've made a decision. I simply want maximum contact patch with an aggressive look. I would like to avoid using spacers, I can deal with rolling/pulling of the fenders.

I also should've mentioned that the car will be driven at the track often.

I'll keep searching in the meantime...

Can someone answer me this what will i need to do to run a 18x10 +12 all around with maybe a 225/40

Well, atleast you know what you want to do out of it. Personally, for a set of square, meaty track wheels, I'd go 17x9.5 +22 (ish) and slap some 255/40-17 Nitto NT01 for grip. Should be good enough to get 0* camber in the rear and get away with some pull.

225/40 will be fine.

You need to spend some time doing more research. Here is a good place to start. http://rimtuck.com/

I know the 225 40 wouldnt be a problem but rimtuck seems to give me less search results everytime i search a wheel size but i know the 18x10 will fit its just how will they fit with the +12 offset will they poke or am i going to be tucking rim and need spacers to flush it im def. Doing my research its just hard when everyone is running mostly negative offsets...

cody_sir · 03-23-2014, 04:45 PM

hey guys so I found some wheels that I might be purchasing however they are a little wider than my original plan for the front. It will be going on an s14.

My fenders will be rolled but I dont want to pull... the rears are 18.10.5+6 with a 225/40 probably and the fronts are 18x10 +12 with a probably a 215/40 or 225/40.

The rear setup im sure will work with just a roll and lots of camber but the front is what im not to sure of...

Does anybody know for sure if it will work up front just a roll and more camber?

Im in the same boat as you 18x10 +12 all around i found a guy running 18x12 +15 with a 5mm spacer so we should be good but idk yet when i get mine on ill let you know a little more but 215 is a little risky for me on a 18x10 lowest ill go is a 225 just for the fact it has a little more contact around the rim plus i would hate to see that 215 blow out fast if your driving crazy

From the looks of the picture, it doesnt look like they welded/sealed the inner and outer fender back together. You'll get shit/waster getting inside your car.

Here's a good step by step of the process...

Should I go 215/40 f and 215/45 r or 215/45 f 225/45 r?

Would a 215/45 up front cause rubbing issues?

THIS is EXACTLY what I was looking for! What are the specs as it shows in this photo?

How much stretch you run makes a difference. Back will need a pull or some camber, or combination of both. And what size fenders in the front? Shouldn't be extremely difficult

Not sure what size fenders is up front (traded for this ride). What tire size would you prefer for the best least hassle fit?

It really all depends on how low the car is and how much camber you want to run. It will be flush unless you run a lot of camber.

Confuzedd · 03-25-2014, 01:02 PM

Would 18x9.5 +23 Mb battles fit on a s14 zenki or should I have gone with a +15 offset ?

*fliprayzin240sx* · 03-25-2014, 07:26 PM

May or may rub the front strut/coilover...depends on what you have.

+15 Battles don't need spacers. You'll fit those, and maybe need 5mm or 10mm, but you'll have to run some stretch, and get rid of that OE camber in back. 17x9+15's with 225-40's fit tight. These are 17x9+15's with 225's and a slight adjustment with Isis knock off's coils

245 rear would work good. 215 or 225 up front depending on how wide you think your fenders are. 35 or 40 sidewall depending on how low you want to take it. Check out some other s14's http://rimtuck.com/search/datasheet&...&sort=4&page=3

cmercer89 · 03-27-2014, 12:34 AM

Does anyone know if xxr 530 18x8.75 +20 on the front, and 18x9.75 +20 on the rear will give a flush look? If not how far do you think it will stick out passed the fender?

*fliprayzin240sx* · 03-27-2014, 07:39 PM

Depends on your definition of flush. Front probably wont poke out but the rear close to stock ride height will poke out some.

NordicMistBB6 · 03-28-2014, 06:55 AM

s13 coupe here. im just curious if an 18x11 et11 will fit out back with just a pull, id rather not run an over. if anyone has a picture of their car running something similar id appreciate it.

Steve5405 · 03-28-2014, 05:26 PM

Hard with +11. You'd need a massive pull, lots of camber and stretch to make that happen.

jalgo3 · 03-28-2014, 08:54 PM

Lots of work for 18x11 +11this pic is with -1

But of course with some over fenders you can work wonders

You shouldnt have any problems i was gonna run a 16x10 -45 all around but even tho 18s r a diff story im still running 18x10 +12 with a 225/40 there working out quiet well i even had to run a spacer so you should have no problems!

I'm Redline · 03-30-2014, 07:58 AM

Heard the term 0-Disc from Allen Hsu from Work Wheels. Can anyone enlighten me to exactly what this means as to wheel fitment on S Chassis, and better yet, SHOW some photos on '95-'96 zenkis or fastbacks?

*fliprayzin240sx* · 03-31-2014, 08:56 PM

Work wheels has 3 Disc face differences when it comes to their multi-piece wheels: O-Disc, A-Disc, R-Disc and now a T-Disc. Difference between the 4 is basically brake clearance and amount of lip possible with each wheel. O-disc if you want the most amount of lip possible but the catch is you have the least amount of brake clearance. T-Disc gives you the most brake clearance but you have the least amount lip. Basically, the more brake clearance you get, the less lip you'll have. You'd need to go to a lower offset to get the same amount of lip.

Just to understand, I'll use a 18x10 VS-XX w/ 112mm lips:
O-disc +7
A-disc +0
R-disc -17
T-disc -22

They are all the same width, same lip amount but the offsets are completely different between the 4 faces.
If you need a T-disc but you need similar offset as the +7 O-disc, you'd need to get +4 or +9 R-disc but instead of getting 112mm lips, you'd only get 87mm.
