18x11J -17 by 18x13J -3

18x11J -17 by 18x13J -3

ive searched and i cant find pictures , i see people selling them but no pictures the closest ive seen are on glebs car and those are 13's in the rear

im trying to fit that on a s14
i realize i will have to run overfenders , but im not sure if they need to 50 . or will 70 be to much for them

im thinking i can run a 50mm with enough camber but not sure

any suggestions

Seriously, why would you want to run 18x11 -17 up front? You do realize that its not possible with out you heavily altering the inner fender well right? You can pretty much kiss turning/full-lock goodbye...pushing 10js up front is a pain in the ass enough and is probably the largest you can go. Wiring harness relocation and busting out a big hammer to tap out where it rubs fixes the issue.

But just to entertain your question, you'd need atleast 50mm fenders up front (good luck finding them), camber and stretched tires. Rears, might as well go with 70mms if you can find them (doubtful tho). Most rear over fenders are 50mm that can pushed out a bit.

I just went from 9's up front to 10.5's and I can feel the difference. I was sliding it a little and it feels like it reacts a tad slower when I transfer and let the steering wheel spin in my hands, it might just be in my head and I'm sure playing with the caster could help but theres probably a good reason nobody runs 11" + up front. If your set on in plan on a lot, and I mean a lot of hammer work. Just be a man and run them on stock fenders and call it a day, they only stick out 11mm's more than my fronts, just run a more aggressive stretch

o ok which is why i asked but understandable , ill find the rims in a diffrent size , the 70mm rears arent that hard to get as you think , as far as the front 50mm ive only seen the blister kit for that , but i see what you mean about inner wall, i juss wasnt sure if i could to it or not even with the spacers
