I really would like to hear your opinions on if a really GOOD pull in combination with a little more camber would work.
In this test fit, i just wanted to get an idea on how much i would needed to pull in order to make them work. The following picture shows the suspension not fully settled from jacking it up, so camber is not so negative. :ugh:

Please stick to the topic :coolugh:

any tips or suggestions would be appreciated!

pull/lift to the max around 25mm (paint will crack alittle). some smaller tires. and about -3.2 camber. it should fit. seen it done before.

What size rims are those? I personally have the 17X10 +12 in the rear with a fender pull. Not sure exactly how many mm its pulled but I'm sure it is close to if not more than 25mm and am positive I can pull it further without the annoying dent at the top of the fender. It's only running about -1.5 camber and the fender has been pulled as far down as I'd like. Anyways here is a pic just for an idea and yes I used a heat gun and the paint still cracked.

the rear rims are 18x10.5 -26mm on 265/35 tires, yeah i know the tires are huge
I was somewhat encouraged to do a pull when I saw NI_YON_Zenki's car
he's running a 18x10 -20mm, so i figured we're pretty damn close in wheel specs, but he's also running a 235/40 tire :ugh:

Do NOT pull your fenders like that. At least, not to the point where it looks like gravel.
IMO your car is too clean to be pulling and possibly damaging your quater panel; to get those wheels w/ that tire combo to fit.

Agreed. As long as your DEAD SET on getting these wheels to fit. Know what I mean? There is no turning back once you've pulled your fenders/screwed them up/gone wide body or whatever.
But even if it doesn't work...you have 2 more S14's to try again on :tweak: :)

I personally think you could pull it enough to make them fit, but you'll definitely need some bondo work to smooth it out when it's done. That car is gorgeous, and I'm assuming you don't wanna have to do any paint work on it. If you don't mind that, I think you could pull it, but you'd definitely need like a 245 tire on it, and at least 3.5 degrees of camber, if not more. I honestly don't think the fronts are aggressive enough though, in comparison. Should have gone with something like 9/10 0 offset. Like was posted above though, if you're DEFINITELY gonna make them work, you can always try pulling the fuck out of it and seeing if you can get em under there. If not, you'll need overfenders anyway, and you'll have to cut the quarters up when you put them on, so what the hell.

How much do they stick out in that pic?
I feel your pain. I have some wheels that stuck out 40mm when I bought them. After 20mm pull, camber, stretching, fitment is better but still a little poke. I'm happy.
On my SC,
2 deg neg camber = 5mm that the top of the wheel moves inward
As was said, get an overfender because huge pulls look really bad. They are pretty cheap too unlike the ones for my car.

Ill be doing something similar, only not as crazy. 15 X 8 0offset, im going to pulling on my s13. Its about a 15 or so mm. pull if im not mistaken. I say try for the pull. go slow, use a heat gun. If it dont work you can do one of 2 things:
1. cut off shitty pull job, add fenderflares
2. wide fenders.

3. buy different wheels
15x8 with need-a-fender-pull offset is nuts! I mean- if your fenders are pulled for wheel fitment you pretty much need aero of some type to avoid that muscle car look- and aero with 15s???
And original red s14 poster- there is no way you will pull those fenders enough and any efforts will look like ass. Just too much. Overfenders are the ticket
seen too many people buckle their fenders doing agressive pulls, i was pretty cautious when i rolled mine and opted for camber adjustment and raising the ride height a few mm rather than the gangsta roll
if you guys want fender flares i have several sets here and i'd love to get them on a bunch of cars. i was going to do it myself but wussed out. Sizzoo i sent you a pm already.
tons of dudes have got them from me but i dont have any decent pics mounted on cars for the site. they are identical to the flares JDM rice has on his S13... see clearcorners.com for the famous pics

Why such a wide wheel? Are you planning a KA-T build up? Everyone has allways told me not to go above an 8 inch wide wheel in the front. Otherwise it will handle like ass, but what do I know. The widest wheels I ever had were 15x7.5" -1. and they stuck out from the fenders about 1/2 inch.

Ya seriously, 8" in the front? Thats pussy shit...
Don't try a pull, you won't be satsfied. Get some flares or overfenders. If you're going to pull it, PLEASE use a fender roller and bat/pipe/etc. Bat's and shit are effective fro a mild 15mm pull or so, but would be annoying as fuck to do a pull like yours and you'll end up with gangly ass fenders. $300 isn't very expensive, I think you should just go but some flares/overfenders.

Take a wack at pulling it.
If you rip your inner tub like MA Matt you should be able to get the pull you need without a mega dent.
Just make sure to weld it up so your chassis rigidity doesnt go out the windo.

05-04-2006, 04:31 PM
bro to pull this the amount you need, your gonna need to seperate the inner and outer skin, otherwise the metal wont come out. dont get a different sized rear. that would be crazy weak.
the fender lip that most people roll up, there is body glue in there that holds the unibody together, you need to cut out the lip with a grinding wheel, cut as much out as you can without cutting into the exterior fender. like cut it hella close to the edge, you are trying to remove as much glue as possible. at this point, just roll the fenders like normal. they will be much less rigid than previous with the glue removed, and they will come out way further and with much less effort. roll it where you want it, if you go super slow with it you shouldnt have to repaint, but you might have to anyway.
LMK if any of that didnt make sense
if you fuck it up then whatever, stick some overfenders on top.

the seam is the lip part that most people just roll up and mash into the back side of the fender
PS if you do that method you will want to weld the metal back together from the inside or you will loose a lot of rear rigidity.
here is a pic of somthing similar to what im talking about

wasnt done with roller most likley body hammers etc. as the metal work is slightly choppy in this pic but it shows how far you can go once you seperate the rear seam.

05-04-2006, 07:33 PM
Hey chmercer, once you seperate the metal, wouldnt it make the outer more prone to flexing since its a single sheet metal at that point? Wouldnt it start rolling like the front fenders? I just said fook it on mine and just used bondo to smooth out the spots where the fender flexed back in...

Wide fenders WITHOUT A DOUBT.
I have 18x10.5 + 10 and its a pretty decent pull, but my wheels didnt stick out neeeearly as much as yours do before i did the pull. You're at negative offsets and the same width. It WILL NOT look right with a pull.
IMO, you should either...
A) Get wide fenders and aero and make the wheels fit.
or
B) Sell the wheels and get something less aggressive and keep the clean look.
Done and done.

The only way I think this will work (to the original poster and his 18x10.5 -26) is either custom metal work or like Boxy said, custom pull, smoothed out later by bodywork filling smoothing and sanding.
Reason being is that in my experience, most FRP wide 1/4 panels will not clear those things. My wheels are 18x10.5 -10 and my +50mms barely clear them with a bunch of camber.
I mean unless you keep the car at a 4x4 ride height, I don't see a 50mm fender fitting your -26. Its a 16mm difference from my car, and my fenders are pushed out a lot to bubble them over the tyre so its still flush, but i can dump the car (no fucking lame ass 4x4 shit man, that's so retarded).

^^ S14 fenders are a bit wider than s13. He may be able to squeeze it out by flexing/bowing the FRP fenders like chmercer does.. I'd say do the FRP quarter panels. Pulling it that much makes it look ghetto.
chmercer
05-07-2006, 02:15 AM
yeah it would be no sweat to fit with frp fenders, my wheels stick out 13mm more than thoes and i could bow them out wider. s14 is a little bigger than s13, also i think the general shape of the fenders is more condusive to stretching them. s13s kindof have a box type thing going on on the top of the fenders that is usally extended outward with the overs, like a ledge or somthing. s14 overs just like roll down the side of the fender and are nice and roundy

are those stagered rims or did you just slap on spacers? http://www.cloudynights.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/215146-Vomit.gif I agree with everyone, flare that bitch!

I like metal fenders more than overs, I'm trying to figure out how to pull mine without ending up with that stupid 45 degree bend that everyone who does it with a fender roller gets.

Sooo how many mm were the rear sticking out?
Around 50-60hrs of labor can get you there. This is a 20mm pull on my SC.
(Older pics, machining and more camber has been added since these were taken)

Yeah, I've been working on my rears today. I'd say it ended up about halfway between the Jspec or Maruta body shop pulls I posted and the normal 45 degree fender roller stuff.
Basically I heated up the inner skin and hammered it parralel with the outter skin all the way up to the body crease.
Then I rolled the fender out about 10mm with the roller to the normal curve out to 45 degree style.
Then I moved the roller as high up as possible (about 1/4th above the crease) and went at it for a while, and moved it down until everything was farily straight (also with a little help from a 5lb mini sledge). It still has a little of the curve out at the bottom, but not enough for me to care.
Then I widened everything out and tryed to fade it... and widened the bottom some more.
Its gonna need some filler to look spot on, but overall its good enough for me. One spot had a rock or something stuck in between the skins so I have to fiddle with that. and a couple hammer marks for me to mess with.
I'll get pics of it in rocky road status tommorow, it ended up being about >20 <30mm more than stock.
PS, that SC pull is nice.

Imma have to pull my roomies rears sometime this wk as soon as he gets his rotors for his 5 lugs. Stuffing 18x10 -7mm in the rear, trying to get the fenders wide enough that he wont have to run some stupid amount of offset. So my question is, on a S14, with those rims, would i be better off cutting/seperating the inner fender from the outer or should i roll and pull em together?
