i have a question to all you cats out there that have ran or are running 10" wide wheels in the front. more specifically anyone with s14 but anyone with some input would be awesome. so my question did you have to modify the inner fender area to get the full lock-to-lock steering and if you did how did you go about modifying the inside of the fender?

p.s. the wheels are 18x10 +10 with 235/40/18 if that helps anyone

thanks everyone

this is one of those cases where if you need to ask how...you probably shouldn't do it

but if you insist, you'll probably need to do something like this dude:

dosent need tubbed fenders

only hammer

tubbed front fenders makes no sense if you look at how the wheel travels

the only part that needs to be enlarged is the area up front, like where the stock coolant tank sits. just smash it up with a hammer

235/40s are savage big for the front of an S-chassis.


225/40 Maximum.

1010 tires says 235 is taller than 265/35

I should have said is "savage tall".

i was planning on just hammerin the piss out of it but i just wanted to know if anyone did anything different.

i was planning on 225/40 but went with 235s cuz the streets in seattle can be kinda sketchy and didn't want to pop a bead on any crazy potholes.

chmercer do you have any pics that i can see of your ride and maybe the fender?
