fn's wheels fitment 17x10 on s13 (need help)

[s14gj]

i want to do 17x10 5zigen fn's on my s13 (front and back)
i don't know what offset to use on the car. i have seen other s13 with 17x10
up front.

i have 30mm front fenders in the front and 50mm out back. i also have 25mm
project kick wheel spacers on back.

help me out.
thanks

+12 all around... -13 rear :bigok: ... what size tires are you gonna run?

[!Zar!]

Don't be dumb. Go 17x9 +15 in the front and 17x10 +12. You will need a roller and a small pull. Depending on tire size.

[Gjohnson7]

Not sure why you want 17 x 10 up front, but it's not my car. Have you checked out the wheel fittment thread. I would spend sometime looking at that thread and go from there.

roller and small pull????? i have 30mm front fenders and 50mm back over fenders. my stock backs are cut out.

[Bushido]

why would you go 17x9 up front if you have overfenders... you got nothing to worry about with 17x10 up front, fitment wise.
FN's look wack, but at least the 10's have cool concave spokes.

[s14gj]

just don't know if i should do +12 or +25 in front??

[drifxtfx1]

+12 in front

You're more likely to kill your tierods when driving. Unless this car was made to sit and look pretty.

He could get a spacer to fill out the fenders if he wished. You don't gain tons of space up front anyways.

Better bust out the hammer.

[s14gj]

thanks for the info. guess i'll buy a pair of 17x10 +12 and try them.

unless he upgraded already right?

s14gj: what offsets are in those pics?

[!Zar!]

Upgraded his tierods? I would hope he would replace those busted ass stock pieces before trying to swing with such wide tires.

I was talking about aftermarket. Fuck oem.

Aftermarket ones will break eventually after rocking such wide tires in the front.

[Bushido]

s14gj,

you got 30mm overs, what are you worried about?
17x10+25 is going to be sunk as shit and hit the coilover.

17x10+12 add a 20-25mm spacer. stretch 225/40's
hammer the fender wells where the wheel rubs.
upgrade to peak pro outer/inner tie rods.

!Zar! is right about the wheel not being the ideal size, but you can make it work if you deem it worth the look of the concave spokes, i think its worth it. If you're going to rock FN's like everyone else, at least do it with style.

[!Zar!]

Does nobody listen when I say the tierods will break. Aftermarket or not.

Ugh I give up.

[Bushido]

gotta pay to play.

[!Zar!]

True. I'm all for that. But this isn't one of those cases imo.

But like I said. The OP prob won't even track the car so it's cool.

[liv2drift045]

sorry to hear yours [tierods] busted !zar! as im assuming thats why you're so positive they will... i rocked this setup up front for a year or so no 2 different cars,(my sil-80 and my cefiro) one w/ after market ends/ one w/ stock...neither failed me..guess im just lucky

OP dont expect not to get some negativity when you post up questions like this... its advice...whether or not you choose to take heed is up to you...

is !zar! right that you MAY damage tie rods/ends rocking 10j's up front... possibly, but others on this site myself included have done it w/ no trouble

[!Zar!]

I'm not saying it's impossible.

Just that many people on this board have had issues with such large wheel.

I'm not against it 100% I'm putting 10j's on the front on another one of my cars.

17x10 fns 20mm fenders front 50mm rear + 30mm kics spacer

[a_ahmed]

If I'm not mistaken Don from pdm racing runs 17x10 +12 5zigens with a spacer that gives him an effective offset of +4 + he hammered everything about which then let him fit a 275/40/17.

[amplifi3d]

Don't listen to everyone else in this thread. If your going to get FN's get the concave look. Don't be a god damn pussy. You dont need to hammer anything in your well to make them fit, just be sure to get a decent tire.

You also don't need tie rods, i drifted my car for a good 6 months with none and never had a problem. NO BROKEN TIE RODS. Unless your full locking all the time you wont have a problem.

[TheSquidd]

I actually agree with Mr. Neg Rep ^^ there.

You people are some straight up pussycats.

Rock 17x10 +12, and space to fit. Jack your car up, turn lock to lock, make sure there's no rubbing or binding of the tie rods, if there's binding add a bumpstop or upgrade your rods, if there's rubbing hammer it.

17x9 is soooo 2004.

[vvtisupra]

i ran 17X10 +12 with a 10 mm spacer in the front running 235/40/17 federals which are alil wider than your normal tire

[a_ahmed]

Remember bbtisupra, (at least from ur pix) u have an s14, fitting bigger wheels and tires up front on an s14 is easier than on s13...

[Flybert]

That guy zar doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. Run the 17x10's up front in +12 offset. You might need a small spacer to clear your coilovers. And don't worry about breaking tie rods unless you're drifting on stock s13 tie rods.

17x10 fns 20mm fenders front 50mm rear + 30mm kics spacer

hey can you give us more shots of your car? please and thank you!

[s14gj]

wow lot of info.

i would like to see more pic of that pink s13 coupe.

my grenade wheels are a 17x9 with a +20 offset with 25mm back wheel spacers.
(i'll be selling them soon!!!)

i have megan racing inner and outter tierods. but i'm going to buy better ones. (any help on what brand i should get)

i would not rock a 17x9 fn's only 10's

[OptionZero]

SPL owns your world

[Flybert]

SPL setup with z32 rods is nice. I also like teins if you are on a budget. I've used both and have never bent either with over 25 drift events under my belt.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Fronts a lil hard on S13 just cuz the fender wells a lil smaller than the 14. Youll have a lot of banging to give you room full locked. I was running 17x10 +12 all around. Depending on the suspension and how low/slammed it is, youll need atleast an 8mm spacer effectively making the front into a +4. As far as your rear, just cuz they were 50mm fenders doesnt mean they are sitting 50mm exactly, so cant tell you how much spacer to run. Figured atleast a 25-30mm spacer and it should be close enough. Also, with the rears, itll depend on size tires. Front, no butts and ifs, you gotta go small. I was running undersized tires (in reference to stock diameters) 235/40 17s. Helps with full lock turns, keeps the tires away from the inner fender well and from eating the wheel well harness boot.

[fliprayzin240sx]

heres 17x10 +12 all around on an s14

http://www.zilvia.net/f/vbpicgallery.php?do=big&p=1399

Oh yah, thats also before the 25mm spacers in the rears...:doh:
Rear fenders are pulled enough that I cleared a 10.5J -8mm and the rims sat right where the fender lip ends.

[s14gj]

any pic of 10" fn's on a s13 in front?

[lflkajfj12123]

just run a spacer, make sure theres no rubbing at full lock, and relocate the wiring in the upper wheel well to the engine bay, bust your hammer out if needed

[s14gj]

cool i had to relocate my wiring along time ago.



anyone pics!!!!!!!!

17x10 on s13

[DudeYourSoOOJDM]

Dude has no clue what he's talking about. I was drifting on stock tie rods until Top Drift Rd 1 of this year. 30 something events, 5 years on STOCK tie rods.

[300hp owen]

concave 10's all around is the ONLY way to rock FNs, definitely.
go with +12 and run whatever tire and spacer you need to fit it all in there.
thats about it.
you would never want the +25 offset unless you wanted to run super wide tires out back.
go for +12 all around.
yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

[s14gj]

cool where do you think best place to buy fn's at?

as soon as i sell my wheels now i can buy a full set.

[KA24DESOneThree]

SPL is the best place to buy FNs.

[s14gj]

Yea, you're probably right...

[Chernobyl]

BTW, here's my input:

Get the 17x10 +12 for the front. Use a small spacer if needed. Stretch that same 225 on it. Replace tie rods when necessary.

Edit: You may need to get the hammer out and make some clearance in the wheel well, depending on caster settings.

He doesn't want 9.5 wheels.

[s14gj]

i can't tell what wheels are in your sig

[SMOCAN]

I'm well aware he doesnt want 9.5s, just a reference in around what it will look like with stock fenders, its not hard to imagine them being 10s with say a +25, because thats basically the equivilant. I liked little things like this to help me choose sizes, even if it wasnt the exact specs. Just trying to help... guess not

ha wow, glad i get neg rep'd for trying to help... guess i'll just never post because everyone else is perfect, thanksss!

[BOROSUN]

this is meatay! 275 front and 295 rear 17x10. lots of inner fender massaging.

dang no one wants to buy my gernade wheels!!!!!!
and i don't think i'm asking to much for them

$800 for them shipped.
shipping cost is around $70-$80

so $720 for a set of grenades.

[racepar1]

Don't be dumb. Go 17x9 +15 in the front and 17x10 +12. You will need a roller and a small pull. Depending on tire size.

Why the hell would you want skinnier tires in the front?????? Even tire width on all 4 gives the car a more balanced feel. It also make the car easier to rotate through the center of the corner, has more responsive turn in, and makes it easier to throttle steer. How about instead of staggering your tire sizes to make the car more stable you actually spend the time and money to LEARN TO DRIVE and SET UP YOUR SUSPENSION! I bet you stretch your tires like a dumbass to look cool don't you?

[TheSquidd]

Never said smaller tires.

I could run 215's on a 9 and 10. And the stretch on the rear tire would give me much less grip than the front.

You're a tool, aren't you?

[racepar1]

You're a tool, aren't you?

I'm a tool? I'm not the one following the popular (and gay) trend of running staggered wheels and tires and stretching the tires to look "cool". Not one racecar on the face of the earth has stretched tires and the vast majority of touring cars do not run staggered tire sizes. So before you decide to call someone a "tool" you might wanna think about what a "tool" really is, anyone who goes against the popular trends and uses their own brain and experience to establish their opinions is not a "tool".

[ROIDMONKEY]

ok slow down guys .
this is making me confuse . i think im getting the ROTA P45R on 17 i dont like the sticking out wheels on the rear i want it to look flat but use at least 245( or bigger) on the rear. wich offset is the "ideal" on a 91 coupe? +12.+25+30+40? wich one please?
the less offset the whell stick out more? and the bigger the offset the wheel inside more?
thanks

Lower the offset number, the more it "sticks out".
Higher the offset number, the more is "sinks in".

91 coupe, 17x9.5? Depends, what amount of camber are you running? What body modifications do you want to do?

Super safe:
17x9.5 +25, this SHOULD clear coilovers with a few mm to spare. You might need 1-2 degrees of camber to fit well, depending on what body modification you want to do. Roll fenders, pull fenders, wide fenders etc. This is pretty safe though.

Good fitment:
17x9.5 +12 clears coilovers easy, you can run decent tires on these. to fit, add some camber up front and roll it, then pull the rear fender a little and roll it.

Either way will fit. If it were me, it'd be 17x9.5 +12 and 18x9.5 +12 rear, camber and stretched tires to fit. But then again I make cars that handle like shit.

Im running the hanabi's from falken right now , the are 17x9 20+ on the rear , they do stick out just a bit . i did some rolling and also have TEIN HE and adjustable camber . forgot the numbers but i took it to get aligment. anyway , if the hanabi i have are 20+ guess the 30+ is the offset im looking for then . im still have a bit to play on teh rear (coilover space clearance)
here is a pic with the hanabi's 17x9 20+ 235/45/17, had 245/65/17 before but ride was very hard

[TheSquidd]

Seems like you already have your car "flush".

Once you know what sizes work for you, you just use that as a point of reference for whatever wheels you buy afterwards.

Use a "wheel offset calculator" to compare new wheels to old ones to see the difference in sizes.

wtf are you clamoring about.

[s14gj]

still need to sell my grenade wheels. so i can get some fn's
how wide should i run a tires on a 10 inch wheels
thinking about a 225

[KA24DESOneThree]

I am on racepar1's side, hardcore.

Unless it's ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, do NOT stagger. Doing so only makes you a bandwaggoning poseur who wants a stretch like the Jones'. I'll be passing you, by the way, as you overheat your generic 225s and have to back off the throttle coming into corners.

If I had 10s, I'd be running 275s. If I had 10.5s, I'd be running 275s.

What you have to understand is that these people are either drifters or wannabe drifters and will follow the drifting trend. That trend is stretched tires to fit wide wheels and a stagger, sometimes because they're pushing a lot of power, but usually because they're after the staggered look. Drifting judges judge on showiness as well as driving because... umm... well, I don't get it but whatever.

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about.

its not even worth explaining.

but, in the intrest of breaking my face on my keyboard.

A large part of "showiness" is speed. I have 240whp and 255/35/18s in the back, a 350hp car with 255s on the back won't be able to put huge a difference on me while drifting. where as two 300hp cars equally matched the car with the larger rear size would absolutely run away from the smaller sized tire.

Front tires matter extremely little after initiation, and larger tires become an issue because you deal with steering lock issues. so 235s it is.

Hence the 235/255 stagger I run. and the 215/275 stagger I've seen people win events with.



About road racing

Generally the people who preach about not staggering tire size on 240sxs are autocrossers or boner jam lapping day fags who drive around a track at 7/10ths and then jerk off to their know nothing buddies about how they got squirrelly coming out of whatever 30mph corner.

Every Fast 240 staggers.

right


I think hes talking abotu staggering wheel size.

In that case cars that run on actual TRACKS not auto-x usually run nearly identical wheel sizes and never stagger tires more than 2 width ranges off, typically compound has more to do with this as well as other factors.

You wll not find a road racer stretching tires, its about as useful putting wooden tires on. theres some good thread out there on how road racers setup their cars, most drift cars are not good road cars, espeically ones built by fan boys with overly stiff spring rates and 2 ways lsds with 'baller' 18 inch chrome wheels on stretched tires.

you won't find that shit on a real race car. sorry.

[vvtisupra]

Thats funny cuz i heard the Hankook S15 kept the same suspension and diff and just changed tire size. I also heard tha tsome of the porsche cup cars run spools.

Staggered only benefits the car if its set up for more grip in the rear Its more important to have a balance. It also depends on the preference of the driver. If the driver prefers more over steer they might run less of a stagger and maybe even a little stretch or smaller sidewall.

And saying drift cars doesn't make good grip cars is vague. It depends on what kind of cars are on the track. to me whenever I go to the track it always seems like drift cars are more equipped than the normal speed trials driver. And stiff spring rates is all relative to a track's surface. Again as long as the track surface allows it and the car remains balanced then spring rate won't matter as long as the shocks are valved properly for the track.

Many people get the misconception that drift cars are built completely different than a grip car, but if you think about it the overall objective is the same. Both are looking for a balanced car with a rigid chassis to allow the suspension tuning work the way it was intended for. And again you can always change the driving style to way a car is set up.

Also, remember running a 1.5 way diff versus 2 way diff only changes during decceleration. on decel the 1.5 way cuts response by half. But most diffs are installed from the factory setting which makes the clutch packs about 50% lock to begin with. So most diffs aren't even that aggressive. And I'm not sure about other people but for grip driving i rev match on decel so when it actually is decelerating i don't feel a big force dragging against my car.

Anyways I know a few people that take their drift cars onto the grip tracks and the only thing they change is tire size and they kick ass. I've seen a person run 235 federal 595ss in the front and 255 Avon R compound tires in the rear kick ass on streets , then drove over to oval and drifted the whole course.

maybe at disney land.

I can drift my car on drag radials, does that make it a drift car?\


honestly though I hear you on stretchin the front tires slightly for more oversteer, thats how my car is currently setup, Im just poor right now and cant afford to go to at least a 235 in the front. I like oversteer, its more fun in a grip car IMO. Nuetral is better for time though

rears are 245, but im moving to 255. with a brick contact patch for traction at near 440whp

[vvtisupra]

I run only 1 deg of camber in the rear to get the most of my 235's and im only on stock sr at stock boost. And you want less side wall in the rear or stretch to get over steer. It allows less roll and has your rear repsond faster than the front. I see it more on awd cars and fwd cars.

[FCDRIFT]

this thread is gay

[steve shadows]

yoru car is orange and slow

[KA24DESOneThree]

Ace is an autocrosser, as is Don at PDM. Considering how much 305s cost to run, both for the tire and for a wheel of the right offset to run them, I would put cost of fitting 305s up front as the reason for the stagger. Of course, it's only a 10-section-width difference front and rear, so the grip differential is fairly low. I think it's possible, though, but you'd need the budget or the skill of Jason Rhoades to make it so.

I understand staggering in an autocross environment with high horsepower because the propensity for wheelspin is increased at lower speeds where the power is more "real." There are guys with 250whp running 305s in the back, and that's with freakin' R-compounds. Notice that the stagger is also relatively miniscule, especially for the AWD cars.

My daily used to have a 235 on 7.5/255 on 8.5 stagger and it felt like utter crap. It hooked up decently, but it pushed too much and I couldn't toss it the way I wanted to. Now it has 235s all around on 9s and it feels really nice and wheelspin isn't really an issue. It's a lot more agile than my brother's M3 on 225 on 7.5/245 on 8.5 stagger as well.

Front tires matter little to drifters, but a shit ton to us grip guys, which is the choir I'm preaching to.

Ask ANYONE who's been on the track with me what level I drive my car and see if there are any answers of 7/10. There won't be, I don't even drive that sedately on the street.

I don't think anyone was discussing car setup. I drifted my car with my grip settings and gripped with my drift settings. Granted, I was never serious about drift but whatever.

Wow, so everything D/E Faggots tell me not to do, a car that acutally move fast does.


SHOCKING.


SHOCKING.


Steveshadows can't even keep his shit on the road and then blames it on tires.

Understeer into snap oversteer would probably look fast to people that don't know anything.

but its not fast.

NismoFreakS14 (01:44:02 am): well no shit... a 2600 lb. 240 is more agile than a 3100 lb. lard boat M3

lolz, your 240 prolly falls into stevezies "oversprung" catagory too.

NismoFreak needs to work on his reading skills. Notice I said "my daily," not "my S13." My daily is a '94 325iS, my brother's M3 is a '96. Oh, and my S13 is (at most) 2150lbs, not 2600lbs. Get your facts right.

... and you're basing your assumption that I understeer then snap into oversteer on what? Oh yeah... nothing.

Oh, and it's not driver's education. It's open lapping. There's no difference between it and time trials in terms of speed for some of us.

Your sig really explains everything.

ROFL.

Enjuku car weighs 2350, bullshit on broke S13 owner scaling 2150.

i know this is a really old thread - but have a question on FN01R-C, 17x7 +35 4lug with z32 30mm calipers (turbo?). i searched, but i couldn't find anyone with this.... anyone with success with this without spacers? i saw someone on another forum with the 26mm calipers (non turbo?)

i found lotsa people with 8J/9J, but no one with 7J (yea yea, i know its a pussy setup)

help is appreciated before i start buying rotors, etc. (sorta already bought the calipers)
