you'll be ok with a 215 or 225, 2 camber, roll. check out the master guide for wheels thread.

Did your car come with a ca18 or sr20 stock?

let him have his JDM talk,its not gonna hurt you or your car any.

Lava · 11-08-2005, 07:04 PM

camber the front and rear?
so i gotta roll the fenders for sure? dam

rolling is SUPER easy... you might be thinking you dont want to pull, but a roll is just bending up that little lip on the fender.

I have had 215/50-17's stretched onto a 9" but normally run a 225/45-17 on them the 215's werent so bad since they were pretty tall, I am afraid to put a 215/45-17 on the 9's because I dont want to debead one but I might test fit one to see how it looks. a 225 is a good stretch on a 9" and should give good fender clearance

^thats nothing. people in sd run 215s on it easy. rbs14 runs 205s on 9inch wide.

theicecreamdan · 11-09-2005, 05:29 PM

cuz 10mm is such a huge difference.

I have but a 225 on a 10" before so I know it will work its the rim design on my falken hanabi's though its got one hug drop so it can be mounted front or reverse mount and so there isnt as much rim there to hold the tire on as say a reverse mount wheel with a big lip that has no drop in the front only on the rear as soon as I run out of 225's I will be running the 215's so its only a matter of time till I run them, just seems right when I am about to put them on I get another set of 225's so I run those. I have had the 215/50's on for a long time with no troubles so I know they will go on and be fine just a little more piece of mind with the 225's

17x9 +24 shouldn't be hard to fit on the stock fenders.

I've seen pics of the 17x9 +20 FN01s and they were sunken in just a little with some camber. With almost no camber, they'll be flush with fender. Not Mex style flush though, just flush flush with fender.
