Tire size for 18x9.5 +35 all around? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

UfoZ8myCow · 12-22-2006, 12:45 PM

Im picking up my set of Sportmax 006s next week, 18x9.5 +35 all around...

I have stock fenders (just rolled). How will the fitment on these be? What size tires do you guys suggest for them? I am on Tein S Techs right now. Suggestions?

Sorry for the noob questions, but thanks in advance guys.

McRussellPants · 12-22-2006, 12:55 PM

that'll be a fine pile of melted spoons you'll have for yourself sir.

UfoZ8myCow · 12-22-2006, 12:59 PM

In English please- you know I dont speak Spanish!

Dousan_PG · 12-22-2006, 01:00 PM

plastic lips
cheap quality
spells sportmax all the way!

tire size?
245/40/18 is fine

adstudio3d · 12-22-2006, 01:21 PM

don't forget spacers, you're going to hit your springs... get a decent set of adaptors so your wheels don't touch your springs.
my friend needed 25mm spacers with the 18x8.5 006's

smelly240 · 12-22-2006, 01:28 PM

wow - i just checked out your cardomain - you might want to lower your car before getting more wheels... and do something about them sticking out.

sportmax are crappy wheels with crappy fitment and they're cheap potmetal garbage and they weigh like 29lbs per wheel

my friend needed 25mm spacers with the 18x8.5 006's, you may have to get 50mm spacers to make the fronts fit... you should get wide front fenders or they are going to stick out

Sportmax, Rota, ADR are all crap.

18's in such craptastic sizing is even worse.

Worse than a primered s13fb rocking 15x 6's.

WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE

You're kidding me rite?

LOL

HyperTek · 12-22-2006, 03:02 PM

here is 225/40/18 on a scion in the rear

id go 235/45/18 or like dousan suggested 245/40

UfoZ8myCow · 12-22-2006, 03:16 PM

Meh- the car is a daily beater... I dont care to spend the money on a really nice set of wheels. I was just wondering about the fitment (are they gonna stick out, rub, etc).

The pics on my cardomain are old... I havent had a chance to update Ive been too busy.

Bushido · 12-22-2006, 04:26 PM

do you have an s13 or s14?
for s13 you're going to need a 20mm spacer at least in the front = +15 or lower (+15 might not clear your coilovers, depends on what you're running, might have to go to +12 or less) plus roll and mild pull as well as a few degrees negative camber.
for the rear i'd do 20mm spacers as well. you're going to need a slight pull and 3-4 edgrees of camber along with a stretched sidewall.
you're gonna need to go lowww for this to look halfway decent.

UfoZ8myCow · 12-22-2006, 05:13 PM

Hmm... I might pass up on the wheels then.

I just want something nice looking for my S13, but Im not so much into the old school thing anymore, I want some nice (Cheap) 17s or 18s with decent lip to them. Any other suggestions besides the cheap ass Sportmax's??

smelly240 · 12-22-2006, 05:29 PM

FN's are cheap - or you can save your money for wheels that arent the suck...

Id buy some used FNs if someone was selling em, but havent seen any yet. I dont want to spend much money on this car, if Im going to buy baller wheels itll be on my other car.

The Dude · 12-22-2006, 07:50 PM

I can see how you'd want to save your money to put "baller" wheels on your Camry. Makes sense.

smelly240 · 12-22-2006, 08:15 PM

its a turbo camry - so it kinda does... just sportmax still blow.

the 3s swap is def cool - and once again... sportmax blow.

The Dude · 12-22-2006, 08:17 PM

Turbo Camry eh?

At least its different than the 40853053083583083 modded S13s out there... And can outperform most M3s.

mm ok. cool?

OptionZero · 12-22-2006, 11:27 PM

show us some pix of your camry at the track! ahahaha

yokotas13 · 12-22-2006, 11:31 PM

track pics or ban

or a video beating an M3 driven by Raven R1 would suffice

OptionZero · 12-22-2006, 11:33 PM

Oh wait, I think he means he can run a 14 at the quarter mile and that makes his car an "m3-beater"

UfoZ8myCow · 12-23-2006, 12:13 AM

Actually, it runs low 12s in the quarter... But thats not what I built it for. I built it to road race.

Dont get mad guys, Im just here to learn some shit about my S13, not defend my Camry. If you dont like it, fuck off. My car, my money. I built it for me, not for anyone else.

staygold24 · 12-23-2006, 12:25 AM

dont mean to jack your thread but didnt wanna start my own. how much of a spacer would be needed for the 17x9 +35 on an s14?

JSpecBnr32 · 12-23-2006, 12:28 AM

i suggest 225/40/18 all around, 25mm bolt on spacers all around so it would equal out to 18x9.5 +10, with slightly rolled fenders and a little bit of negative camber

McRussellPants · 12-23-2006, 12:31 AM

lol at FNs being baller wheels
lol at turbo camry
lol at sportmax.

LB.Motoring · 12-23-2006, 12:45 AM
