Wheel fitment help for my S14

[Jon-S14]

I just bought some 18x9, 18x10, +15 all 4 wheels. I have a 97 s14 with megan street C/O's and I wanna know what kinda tires I can run with just a fender roll and maybe a minor pull? I've tried searching but not many people have the same offsets as me and on the same car.

I'm thinking of running either 265-275/35 for the rears and 235-245/35-40 for the fronts. Would I be running into any problems using the wider tires? I also dont want to run any more than -2 degrees for camber. Will these tire sizes clear my coilovers?

While I'm at it, which of the tire choices would you pick?
- Falken rt-615
- Falken FK-452
- Kuhmo MX
- Dunlop Direzza star spec
- Dunlop Direzza DZ101

You're gonna need overfenders to run 265/35R18 in the rear.

As far as tire choices go, what were you looking to get out of the tire?

why's that? I run 17x10 +18 with pulled fenders 275's, he has a tad less offset but also running less tire than me.

out of that list, RT-615's that's what I use

How much did you pull and camber?

I'm looking for a tire with maximum grip for street and rainy days

Out of the 5 tires you mention the Dunlop Star Spec Z1 will be the best choice. They are the most expensive of the set though. If you are not doing too many track days and still need something to drive spirited but also need good wet traction I would lean towards a good UHP rather than an extreme or max summer tire with good wet traction such as the Yokohama S.Drive.

Pull doesn't have to be huge, you can fit a 315 under a pulled fender easily with enough camber, a 265 is nothing. As long as the toe is dead on you're fine.

it really depends how much you're dropped

on my s14 which is dropped 1.5" in the front

i have tons of wheel gap, about 2 skinny fingers, and i'm runing 235/40 in the front

as for the rear, 265/275 should fit fine.

and if you care about rolling diameter, i think a 35 aspect ratio tire, would be better,

How much did you pull and camber?

I pulled em till the fenders flared with -2 in the rear and -3 up front

Good to know thanks! I just remembered that I can't have my car that low because of my exhaust... it hangs super low. But if I can fit them with no problems then I'm all good.

^^^Get better exhaust hangers and bend the hangers to pull the exhaust closer to the body...

Which one of these choices would have the best wet traction? It rains quite a bit over here.
