Anyone running a 9" wide +24 (or similar) wheel on an s14?

[24Dee]

If so, any problems with your suspension setup? If Possible, post a picture.

[Dousan_PG]

no easy fit. up front could have a problem w/ coilover but thats about it. should be ok though front and definately a=ok rear. its a decent setup.

[420sx]

i think u need +22 to clear most coilvers. but shox/stut/springs setup should clear fine

[KiDyNomiTe]

I am assuming you are talking about mustang wheels, IIRC they come in 9" +24 and 10" +24. Might need like a 5-10mm spacer to clear some coilovers. Should sit fine in the fenders depending on camber.

Search for mustang wheels to see pics of fitment.

Youuuuu, you're good you!

Yes you are correct those are the correct sizes for the those Bulliitt wheels. I plan on running the 9" +24 all around though. The Bullitt wheels i've seen actually mounted on an s14 are from AznCmb but he's running the oem offset wheels which are +30. I spoke to him and he claims there should be enough space between his MR coilovers and a +24 offset wheel.

I'm just starting to get a grip on understanding coilovers and also relating the information I get off the offset calculator to the setup. But I don't know how to determine if they will clear the coilovers i'm considering without actually seeing them (KTS, MR, & Tein SS)

This is what I hear.

[trsilvias13]

i want to see the billet wheel off the mustang too. i like the look not sure how it looks like on the 240sx. i see most people choose the cobra wheels, but different stroke for different folks.

[justinhustle]

i have pics, i have cusco comp zero 2 coils, front z32 brakes, etc

lol... ok.. can you post your pictures?

[projectRDM]

18x9, +19s on mine. Clearance is fine everywhere. They're Volk CV Pros.

The Bullitt wheels won't clear Z32 brakes without a 5mm spacer, never tried them with coilovers though.

I won't have to worry about that, i'm still using stock brakes. They are sufficient enough for me at this point.

I did eyeball that from the pictures I've seen and thought that they would clear z32 brakes... Guess I was wrong.

thanks!


you have any pictures of your car you can post up?

[OptionZero]

17x9 +25 is minimum front clearance for coilovers on an S14. Go from there.

[Siizzzoooo]

18x9 +20 up front up mine, clears easily

Gram Light 57S Pro

[revat619]

17x9 + 5 up front for me (R33 gt-r w/ 25mm spacer) clears all day.

soon to be running 18x9.5 +12 upfront. clears easily as well.

[Giant Robot]

depends on Coilovers too....

i.e. 18x9 +24 fit on my Cusco Comp Zero 2's, but they didnt fit on my Tanabe Sustec Pro DD's and sure as hell didnt fit on Tein HE's on my friends car

[OptionZero]

i was going off GR6's (nzo's old car?)

[240trainee]

I plan on fitting some of these to my car, replicas go for like $500 on ebay, can't beat that, lol. beat ass S13 with full 300zx and bullit wheels. uuummmmmmmm :rawk:

[ZK]

What's with you S14 guys and Mustang wheels...

I don't like the way any of stock Mustang wheels look.

[ghambino]

Its not always about looks. If it gets the job done, thats all that matters sometimes.

[neilio85]

Just got my r33's on 17x9 +30 with about an 8mm spacer on the front. Spacer was needed to clear coilovers, but I just need to take out my fender lining because its rubbing. Here's a few pics.

All comes down to a matter of opinion. I really like some of these Ford wheels, and for the sizing, it's kind of hard to beat the price on a brand new wheel.

The most important thing though is the fact that the roads in and around NYC are the worst i've ever seen (FL, LA, Vegas, San Fran, PA). The last thing I want to do is buy and wait 3-4 months for a set of expensive 57pro's (like I orignally wanted) only to seriously fuck them up driving on these roads.

Looks nice. No spacer in the rear though? The pictures are little dark, do you have any shots of the it in better lighting or during the day time? Just curious to see if I might need to roll my fenders or stretch my tires a tiny bit in the rear to get a 9" +24 wheel back there.

what kind of c/o's are you running?

[KOUKI KA-T]

I technically own 17x9 +22 front and rear on mine, if Rays would just get them to me. (been over 3 months) :sadwavey:
Maybe I'll have pics for you soon, I have KTS coilovers and there's plenty of room to fit a 9" with a decent tire, I'll be running 245-40's all around on mine.

I have a few somewhere, I'll dig around for them.

[neilio85]

No spacers on the rear yet. I still have to order longer studs on the back, but I might have to roll the rear fender if the spacer goes on putting the back at a +22 offset and I'm running 235/45 series tires. The coilovers are megan racing by the way and I'll try to get some daytime pics for you soon.

Good shit, get those pics up if you can?


How do you like those MR coilovers for daily driving?

[p11driver]

i have 17x9 +22 upfront and tanabe coilovers, front is pretty low and fits fine.

Yea I came across your thread of when you got those rims before I started this thread.


What sizes out back? any fender work?

[bimmerlover]

These are my Mustang wheels, 18x9 +26 all around.

Cobra wheels are dope too. What's your suspension and tire size setup? That looks like it could be stock height?

Any problem with rubbing or anything?

[neilio85]

Coilovers are fine for me on daily driving. They are my first experience with aftermarket suspension I love it. I have them set pretty hard right now just because of the rubbing issue but if you were too get them you would not be dissappointed. The price is awesome too.

[JVD]

See sig for info on my setup. Megan racing coils as well. More pics coming soon. Just got a new camera!

[sw20>>s14]

bimmerlove, you go to csm? ive never seen your car...what is your suspension setup? those wheels look pretty good...i remember you were trying to sell them a while back, good thing you kept them...

[bimmerlover]

No, I don't go to CSM. I just figured it would be a good place to take pictures. I'm running Tanabe DF210's with KYB AGX's. Not exactly coilovers; just wanted to show how 9" wide rims look with that offset.

[SpeedMonkeyInc]

Cobra replicas, 17x9 +24 front and 17x10.5 +27 rear. The wheels fit great, but I put too much tire in front. I went with 235/45/17 and I should have done 235/40s. I needed a 5mm spacer for the tire to clear my Tein HEs. Sorry, no photos of the rear yet because I have no way of blacking out the license plate on this computer.

Ha thanks. I used the [img] tags but it didn't work? I wonder if Yahoo's hosting prevents it?

[OptionZero]

what spec tires you decide on in the end for the rear, and any fender mods (roll/pull?)

I'm thinking the exact same set of wheels since they're so damn cheap..but don't worry, they're goin on a white car so it 'll look different

[SequenceGarage]

D2 Coilovers

17x9 +20 clears no problem

17x9 +37 cleared with a 10mm spacer but only when the coilover was bolted up in such a way so that the hub was in a position for maximum positive camber possible. In other words the upper bolt is all the way towards the outside of the elongated hole on the shock bracket, with it all the way in (another 2~ degrees of camber) the wheel would rub on the coilover. Also, if the suspension is too low the tire and rim would hit the spring perch and locking collar.
