Wondering what everyone thought on this setup:
S14 - Coilovers with a mild drop.
Varrstoens 2.2.1 - 18x9.5 +12 225/40/18 (Front)
18.10.5 +15 245/40/18 (Rear)

Would any fender work be needed? I know camber places a part, how much camber do you think I would need? Would there by any understeer? Thanks.

+20 offset

You could run a 15mm spacer on top of that depending on your tire sizes.

8.75 +20 with a 15mm spacer = 8.75 +5

That should fit your S14A fine with 225/40s. You just need to roll your fenders (flatten the fender lip).

Guy in there running the 9.75 +15 (effective) which is almost the same as your setup with 15mm spacers 8.75 +5 (effective)
As far as outer clearance anyway.

Anyone running 9.5-10j up front with max angle knuckles? I'm looking to do that but I'm not sure if I'm going to run into clearance issues w lca or tie rods. My knuckles aren't installed yet so I can't really measure or get a sense of how it will work out.
Thanks

5 posts up is a link to exactly what it will look like. Pictured is 9.75 +15 which will have almost the same outside look as what you're looking to run.

I really like how my 215/40s fit on my 9's. There's only a little wheel bite at full lock and under spring compression.

IMO it will look a little funny with more stretch in the rear. If I were doing 245's in the rear I would do a 235 in the fronts both being 35 for the profile. The stretch would be even for the most part and a 40 is just too tall again just my opinion. Also depends on what chassis you have.

I have questions about why I put a leave with offset spacers to +5.?, and what happens if I leave +10? are deep inside?, or touch with coilovers? sorry for asking much about it, thanks

Simply put, no. The rears would sit flush on a stock body s14 with a roll/pull, and on the rear of an s13 with pull and lots of camber.

With 50mm overs, the rear will need spacers most likely, and you will have miles of space on the front. I'm not sure you can get spacers big enough to make the front flush with 50mm overs.


Which at the end of the day won't matter since you aren't low enough to have any kind of fitment anyway.

I dont think that the difference between 10 and 9 will be so visible.
So if i choose profile 40 with 245, when the tyre stretch the profile will be little lower?
I bought them with 285/45 the car looks like a truck with those tyres

I've read through this whole thread just want some reassurance before I purchase.

Current setup:

16x8 (+10 or +20 not sure..) all around 195/50 ziexs

Wanted:
17x9 +12 up front running a 215/40
17x9.5 +12 in rear, should I run a 215/40 or a 215/45?

As you can see car has roll and slight pull, runs quite a bit of camber as well. Just want to make sure everything will fit fine, and the car is my daily.

Depending on what kind of fitment you're looking for, all of what you said will fit. But it depends on how you want it to fit.

You could run a 45 series but that wouldn't be cool-looking now would it? Plus for a daily, I would be a tad bit more confident going a 225/235 out in the rear.

Input the numbers using the effective offset aka with the spacers on.

9" +18 (20mm spacers)
10" +18 (20mm spacers)

See the difference & compensate with new spacers.



Now go and do the math.

That is correct. When the tire stretches, the lower profile will be even lower when stretched. I would go with a 35 but thats just my preference.

Are you on stock suspension? What chassis do you have? If s13 this is fitment with the 9.75's with a 5mm spacer all around. Will require the spacer in the front to clear coilovers but i used all around because i hate when i see the front sticking out way further with too much camber like a lot of guys on here do. Looks like ass to me.
