Sportmax 962 Flush look possible?

[obarrera]

I want my wheels to look flush but im not sure if it's possible with my wheels, I have sportmaxes, I believe the sizes are:
BACK 17x9, +35 offset 4x114.3.
FRONT 17x8, +35 offset 4x114.3.

I am getting megan racing coilovers, spacers, and rolling the fenders. I read bout spacers and some people don't reccomend them, I wanted to get 20mm or 25mm spacers, probably 25mm for back 20mm for front, now would that be too dangerous?

Please don't bash, that's why im asking before buying.lol

Also, what kind of tires would be best?

I couldn't find much info on this, seems like most people that have the flush look have work wheels or similar on there cars, and I can't afford that right now.

- Flush is a relative term. What is "flush" to you? With a 17x8+35 / 17x9+35, I'd say you'd need at least a 15mm to be around where "flush" on stock fender S13 would be...but again, outer position of the wheel is determined by a lot of variables such as tire brand, tire size, camber, ride height, etc.

- Spacers are "safe" as long as you use them properly. Make sure you torque to proper specs, and use extended studs where necessary. A 5mm sandwich spacer is usually "safe" on stock studs, but anything larger that is a sandwich spacer should use extended studs. Bolt on spacers (that incorporate the stud into it) usually start at around 15mm, so if you're using a 15mm+ then a bolt on spacer won't require new wheel studs.

- What kind of tires would be best is a very relative question. Price wise? Performance wise? What size should you run?

I'd say if you are on a Sportmax budget, then Federal SS595 are the obvious choice (contact CITY TIRE ONLINE (http://www.citytireonline.com) for a good deal)

Tire size maybe....215/45/17 all around? 215/40 F 215/45/ R? 215/45 F 235/40 R? I dunno with lack of details hard to say what would be "best."

[silsx13]

I've been running 962s on my S13 for a long time now with this setup:

Front: 15mm spacer w/a 5mm spacer sandwiched (between the spacer and hub) and a 3mm spacer on top
Offset = +12
Tire size: 215/45/17 or 225/45/17 Federal 595RS

Rear: 15mm spacer w/a 5mm spacer sandwiched
Offset = +15
Tire size: 225/45/17 Federal 595RS

Here's a pic:
14335

This is a "reverse" stagger where instead of the rears sticking out more than the fronts, it's the total opposite! I know it probably goes against the grain in terms of "preferred" wheel aesthetics but it's hardly noticeable unless you look really close or are really picky.

I haven't had any problems (i.e. vibration, wheel shimmy, etc.) running this wheel setup- I just check to make sure the spacers are torqued down to correct specs before and after doing a drifting event or after driving a lot of miles.

Hope that helps. :D

[Bushido]

rule of thumb on 9j = get as close to +15 on stock fenders as you can.

[pinkarrowsnow]

big spacers i have a 20mm in the front of my 962's so it makes it +15 its pretty flush

[TheWayItGoes909]

holy crap thats alot of spacers!

[obarrera]

Awsome, thanks a lot for the info. Here is the look I want, I think the fenders are actually pulled a little instead of rolled? I want the top end of the rear tires to be inside the fender. I don't want to sit flush on the fender with no roll or pull, I want it to sit flush after the pull of the fender, sorry if it's not clear enough.lol
When I say what kind of tires would be best,
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a348/obarrera/flushlook.jpg
the question is what kind of tires would
give me this look ^^^ :)
silsxs13, it looks sik man! but I do want the staggered look on mine though.
Thanks everyone for the help!

[ayuaddict]

ask matej.

the only person to ever make sportmaxes look good.

old pic of his car.

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b342/ayuaddict/sx_23.jpg

[HyperTek]

or leetheslacker, who painted his white, look way better

[awesomenick]

True. Matej's car was sick with those, it's still sick. I think so at least.

http://i37.tinypic.com/14lsjg4.jpg

Sick. I just saw some old pics of his car with meshies while I was looking for that one. Weird. :snoop:

[obarrera]

That looks friggen sik..i forgot bout that car..

I've seen leetheslacker's car too, I'll see which look I like best, I don't think leetheslacker has his fenders rolled or pulled, does he?

[Marcus]

wow that does look good.

kinda sucks about the 8s though, but i would run a 205/40 up front and a 215/40 rear. the 205s will stretch nicely over 9s, but then you'd need like 195s up front and thats gay. then, i would get a 30mil up front and a 20mil rear. and its just as safe as anyone else's stretch/spacers.

call up part shop max. they usually stock spacers. (they're in sd)

[markyboi]

i had 17x9 +35 on my s13 before

i went with 225/45 for the tires along with 25mm spacers all around.

rolled rear fenders, 20mm fender on the front

Marcus, where in SD is this place at, do you have there info?

markyboi, your car looks sick, do you plan on dropping it a little more? some more negative camber would look cool

[240trainee]

Looks great, props to you for that.

[Bushido]

i don't care that these wheels are heavy as shit and low quality.

they are a classic 5 spoke design that looks great when rocked properly, as matej and blanco have shown.

[1slowS13]

i actually got to fit a 17x9 +35 on the front of my s13 just with a 215/45, its a tad bit high but good for daily driving. ill take a picture once i find my camera

[wh0aitznic0]

Damn, blanco's car looks like my coupe in hatch form. Oh yeah, I have some weaksauce Spec V's on mine as well. :(

[240trainee]

Yea, I mean, why the fuck not.

[1slowS13]

i thought there were a whole grip of people not being able to fit them because of clearance issues with their coils/struts

[1slowS13]

only picture i have.. this is actually 006 series

word. they look sick like that. and at that point the brand of the wheel becomes secondary to its fitment. if it looks hard as hell, people wont notice right away that they're 962s.


op: part shop max is in miramar..poweredbymax.net

[GhettoIced-t]

i don't care that these wheels are heavy as shit and low quality.

Yeah i thought the same way, and if i drift into a curb i could replace all 4 for the cost of just one Work Wheel.

I rock 17x9's +35 20mm in spacers up front and 30mm's in the rear with a roll and pull...on an s13

they have an aggresive look and the uninitiated think i paid big bills for them:hsdance:

[obarrera]

Sick, I didn't think there were people with these kinda set ups, Ghettoiced-t you got some pics?

I don't care bout heaviness right now either, I only use my car to cruise around anyway....for now. So just as long it looks good

blanco, nice dude!

Yo 962 peoples! Glad to have found this thread.. Got a couple questions I have 17x9 +35 all around gold 962s. On a s13!

1) I have a 10mm spacer in the front and the tire is already sticking out. HOW do you guys have like 30mm spacers and are bearly sticking out? My tread of the tire is showing a little already..

2) I had a guy at a tire store mount a 215/45 on a 17x9 wheel it looked like it could bearly fit on it and if it didnt have like 40 psi it would just start hitting the curb on the edges. Wheel looked way too big.

3) My coilover gets hit on the driver side but not the passenger for some reason.. using a 10mm spacer. The tire sticks out to where the fender is over the tread a little bit already. I am considering selling the 2 fronts and getting the 17x7 front with staggered. If i could make this setup work and not have my wheels sticking out like crazy LMK!!

4) Also with a 225/45 up front I have to gut the inner fender cover to make it not rub. Any thoughts?

Oh, just to share this.. the passenger side doesn't stick out as much as the driver side. it clears the coilover on passenger side but not driver. I figure somethings gotta be bent?

Please help!

You need a larger spacer. Mine are 18x9.5 and i have 20mm spacers in the front.

[KenSR20]

It already sticks out bad.. So just pull the shit out of the fenders? lol I guess I will try another brand of tire to see if I can handle putting a 215 on these wheels.. looks like it has two lips on it after it compared to a 225 heh Guess I will try a 15mm front and maybe a 20 rear

[kid270r]

i use to rock 962's also... ive have someone run me off a the side hitting a curb and not a thing happened but a lil scrap..

Who did you guys go through to get your sportmaxs?

[KenSR20]

blanco u do anything to your fenders? Or set camber to just go in up top so its under the fender? So weird.. I have 10mm in the front and i can tell my wheels stick out more than yours.. Maybe I need to drop to 215/45 all around also.. im at 225/45 now rubbin like crazy in front

I can't tell...are these 18 inch stagger... or 17 inch?? It looks killer though

my fenders are rolled. Camber in front is set to -3, rear is whatever (no rucas). post pics so we know what you're talking about.

my guess is you need to set ur camber correctly.

oh and 10mm spacer is not enough to clear your coilovers you need bigger ones.

Will these spacers work for the 962? My car is like 45 mins away and dont feel like driving there to find out. It has to have space for the original studs in the wheel then the studs on the spacer are the actual studs for your lug nuts..

no. original studs will hit the wheel pad.

[KenSR20]

So people are using 30mm spacers and huge studs i am assuming? Crazy.. Thanks!

[sidewaysAZN]

i have 17x7 962's. nothin crazy here. would 25mm spacer all around be fine? oh. what brands do you guys preffer?

[d r i f t swift]

So people are using 30mm spacers and huge studs i am assuming? Crazy.. Thanks!


wheel adapters/ or bolt on spacers whatever you want to call them you wont need longer studs.. with sandwich style spacers you might or might not need longer studs depending on how thick your spacers are

[dori_sil8t]

i remeber the day i seen these beast come out... " oh shit i got pick those up"
came on this site and a few others, local too and everyone was rockn them.. so i cried and went back to the drawing board.
ps matej car was dope as sea weed.

[whiterps13]

Sea weed sucks.
Shits nasty.

[KenSR20]

Cant use bolt on adapter with these wheels there is no room for the stud in the wheel. From what I have been told I have not taken my wheel off to know exactly. Err.. Just thought of something so I guess people are using smaller studs in the hub to the bolt on spacer and then the original studs for the wheel? If these style spacers work i need to know because I prefer them! Ty!

[pinkarrowsnow]

For the person asking the spacer question just trim your stock studs so they dont hit thats what i did if you change wheels ever just get new studs they arent expensive.

[KenSR20]

LOL I feel dumb thanks for the info I think finals are rotten my brain!

[ZX88]

blanco u do anything to your fenders? Or set camber to just go in up top so its under the fender? So weird.. I have 10mm in the front and i can tell my wheels stick out more than yours.. Maybe I need to drop to 215/45 all around also.. im at 225/45 now rubbin like crazy in front

225 will rub like crazy in the front with no camber at least mine do. just got some 215/40 federals hopefully ill be good.

[KenSR20]

225 will rub like crazy in the front with no camber at least mine do. just got some 215/40 federals hopefully ill be good.

I think I am going ot keep that size and camber in and do a 25mm spacer all around. I will get pics up soon. Thanks blanco for assisting me!

[KenSR20]

I just don't want some crazy negative camber.. its a daily driver so i don't want to slam it down and not beable to pull in my own driveway. Hmm..How does any of you all's cars drive with this max negative camber in the front? Tires im sure are destroyed early also.. =/

[BillWatcher]

I'm at 5.5 degrees all around and it drives fine, I also have camber plates, but you could reach 4.6 degrees with factory setup in the rear at least. And that is not bad either, just make sure you get it properly aligned. Not being able to go in some driveways is just apart of the game if you want the lowness. :X

[ayuaddict]

what the fuck.

anything over 35mm or so will not need the relief space things in wheel.

just get >35mm spacers.

you wont be close to flush with anything less anyways.

[markyboi]

25mm spacers will work on 962 without the oe studs hitting the wheel

[1slowS13]

^only on the front

i had to trim my rear wheel studs down, i had 25mm spacers all around

Why would you want to run no camber?:ughd:

Camber really doesn't hurt tires like you think it would. Toe is what kills tires. Just make sure you're aligned and you rotate your tires.

[Silvia_Drift]

The wheels stick out the same on both sides on my car but on my last coupe, one side stuck out further than the other. I think the camber settings were different on both sides or something.

The tire size in the back is 225/45/R17 and 215/45/R17 in the front.

[markyboi]

^only on the front

i had to trim my rear wheel studs down, i had 25mm spacers all around

[KenSR20]

looks good doesn't seem to be too big of a camber either if so not noticeable.. How much of a fender roll or pull u think this requires?

[Unique]

thats with the rear inner lips rolled and slighty pulled its not even noticeable.

Shit, I forgot I made this thread

Here's the set up I think im gonna go with, 18X9.5 all around with 50mm spacers for the rears, and 25mm spacers on front, what do you all think about these spacers, these are the only ones i've seen, I can't find 50mm spacers anywhere else!eBay Motors: 4x114.3 50mm WHEEL ADAPTERS SPACERS ALTIMA 240SX SENTRA (item 250341752434 end time Dec-18-08 17:48:30 PST) (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4x114-3-50mm-WHEEL-ADAPTERS-SPACERS-ALTIMA-240SX-SENTRA_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a1205Q7c66Q 3a2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a1Q7c29 3Q3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZi tem250341752434QQitemZ250341752434QQptZMotorsQ5fCa rQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories)

Im finally gonna order the wheels next week hopefully, the spacers, new tires, etc, I'll post pics when I get my set up finished

[unlegendary]

alright Obarrera, I know your probably stoked about getting your first new set of wheels but please do not be one of those guys that resell their wheels just because they found out that they did not do enough research and sell their wheels for only 1/4 of what they paid for.

I do not know why this thread was made, there is a somewhat controlled thread on wheel fitment and it is a stickied thread. Hell, go to the for sale section and see what people are running and I can guarantee that 50mm spacers are NOT needed to be flush. The only reason that I see spacers are needed is for miscalculations in future setups such as buying BBKs or a set from Z32s.

Here to make sure I am not the expert here obarrera, go to your local aftermarket car business maybe such as Speed Alliance, Sinful Enhancements, and maybe even High End Performance and ask for their suggestions of wheels for the best price (wheels that will not get cracked when accidentally going through a pot hole), tires, tire sizes, whatever, and include if you wanted to buy BBKs in the future if you do not already have any or something that clear Z32s.

[obarrera]

I already have Sportmaxes, and im happy with them, but they're 17's, in silver, I want 18's in gold, I have never had any problems with them, gone trhough pot holes, no cracks, I even went over a big ass rock one day on the freeway, nothing happened to the wheel, I don't see why I would be selling them. Deep dish wheels are ridiculously pricey, and I'd rather spend a few hundred on 962's, and spend the rest on my engine, then spend thousands on a set of wheels.
If YOU don't like sportmaxes, it's cool, I respect your decision, but I really like the look of them, the only reason why I considered getting other wheels is because of the width, but im cool with a 9.5 wheel..
And im not buying the spacers for them to be flush, my rears almost look flush right now with NO spacers at all, and they're only 9" wide, I know 50mm spacers are not needed for this. I just want them to stick out and pull & roll the fenders.

[wh0aitznic0]

I have 962's 17x9 with 20mm spacers up front and 18x9.5 with 25mm spacers in the back. Would I need to trim my stock studs a few threads to not smack the wheel's center portion when I put them on ?

[1slowS13]

^yes

but if you go 25mm around, you only need to trim the rear..

for my car, the rear studs stuck out more than the front.. mearsure them if you have to!

[95 maxima se]

i made my choice in rims now thanx you guyz!! sexy cars

[repda916]

so if i was to put these rims on my stock coupe, i would need 25mm spacers, leave the front studs, and cut the rear ones?

[wh0aitznic0]

^yes

but if you go 25mm around, you only need to trim the rear..

for my car, the rear studs stuck out more than the front.. mearsure them if you have to!

what the fuck.

anything over 35mm or so will not need the relief space things in wheel.

just get >35mm spacers.

you wont be close to flush with anything less anyways.

Thanks. So if I get a 5mm sandwich for my front to make it effective 25mm spacer and two 5mm sandwich spacers in this order (hub>sandwich>bolt-in>sandwich>wheel) to make it 35mm, I won't need to trim my studs ? It's just that I'm not a fan of burning bridges that's all. Still on factory studs as far as I know.

[iLagX]

Here is my set up.
225/40-18 all around.

[Slideways^Jordan]

I really like the sportmax series of rims dont get me wrong here!!! but their not really all that great with the offsets and staggered size combo. But that's just my opinion I would definatly rock them if i only had around 400 bux to spend on wheels but this is what I rock... Gramlight 57d Pro luminous yellow son.

Pictures that had NOTHING to do with this Thread deleted

[wisDOMination]

no. original studs will hit the wheel pad.
actually, they'll clear
by looking at the url of that pic, it says its 25mil spacers
iirc, with 15mm, they dont clear
but with 20 nd up, they clear

[Geezy]

My car back in its cooler days.

9.5Jx18 +35 all around.
215/35's.
38mm spacer up front, 50mm in the rear.

Hope that helps.

[Matej]

4-lug, Megan Street coilovers, whatever camber I got after lowering the car, and whatever the cheapest tires I found were. :)

[gsxr141]

18x9.5 and 18x7.5 with 265/35's and 225/40's. lowered on tein basics with a little more room to go. rear camber is roughly -4. next time i'll go with at least a 8.5 up front, and 25mm spacers all around.

did you fuk with the pillow ball mounts at all? (asking for number)
are the collars adjusted all the way down?

[Matej]

In those pictures, I believe I had one bottom collar removed all around. And I adjusted the camber plates to as negative as they go.

[CrimsonRockett]

Enough with this thread.

We already have a wheel fitment thread.

No use having a thread specifically for one wheel(that's crappy anyway).
