Wheel Fitments on S13?

[TRUENOCOUPE]

15X7.5 -3
15X7.5 +11
Tires 205-50-15

How does this fit on the S13?

Too wide? Rubbing? Too small?

Im looking for wheels that it sits right by the fender. I hate tractor skinny looking rims. Thanks

the -3 will need lots of camber
my +5 was at least -3.5 degress and i didnt have my fenders rolled and it would rub on drifting

+11 should be like -3 degrees

for those you MUST get your fenders rolled.
tire size is excellent

Thanks Aaron, Those rims are off my 86. My White 86 is gone. Crash.

The Silvia fenders seems to be wider than the 240's. Will this help?
Thinking of going Silvia front end conversion but It ain't worth it IMO. I can spend the money on something else wisely.

Thanks.

silvia is about same but just light and flimsy comared w/ USDM 240sx front fenders
the offsets will be about same thought

i wouldnt go silvia face. hit something and then need a new fender $$$
bleh its just looks.

anyways, you can run those wheels
get there fenders rolled FOR SURE and you'll fit them. a little tweaking is ok too.

you goign to be at buttonwillow? i cant wait for that event! woot woot

[TRUENOCOUPE]

I want a nice set of 3 inch lip with good fitment wheel offset.

I might head out to Buttonwillow if I get an LSD.

Even if I can find a stock LSD is good enough for me.

Suggestion for LSD?

ill be up in nor cal august 2nd so if you want me to grab it for you and drop it off, i should be able to. doing some auto-x w/ some friends in monterey area. i gotta go meet up w/ pchio and nekoball todrop off some stuff (bay area) as well. all over the state hahahaha

[TRUENOCOUPE]

I have a friend that has VLSD for $300 bucks.

What else do I need to fit this right in?

(Yes, Im lazy to do some searching.)

Thanks

s13 or s14 vlsd?
s14 i've no clue
i think s13 w/ abs you need a different drive shaft? i forget...

[TRUENOCOUPE]

S13. Came off from Jspec S13. (not sam)

[Dousan_PG]

hmm should bolt right up
if it came off a ABS model might have difference? but not sure.
otherwise will bolt up..oh! one thing
depends.
if its 5 star side flange, you'll need 5 star axles..(J30 works or JDM s13).

if its 6 bolt sides it will bolt right up

rear cover should be 4 bolt so that bolts up a-ok to USDM subframe.

i wouldnt go silvia face. hit something and then need a new fender $$$

not necessarily. pop-ups kill your Cd at night, and there's less mechanical parts to potentially break. lighter as well.

[Dousan_PG]

i wasnt talking about weight or mechanical
i was talking about $$$
truenocoupe is a drifter. drift into something and be out a headlight/fender/bumper for qiute some time if you cant get one

if you are daily driver go for it.


it has nothing to do with 'what can break driving around'

also silvia face headlights are RHD aimed so more reason to stay popup!

[Jsquared]

yeah, didn't think of it from that perspective... even though i'm getting into drift my car is still primarily daily-driver/grip.

aiming for RHD isn't too hard to fix, esp. if you can do moderate fabrication.
