I just put those on. On 255/40 NT-05 I was spinning through 3rd. In the cold it would spin in 4th gear.
It's been raining but I will update on that in a few days.

im looking at a set of 17x9 +25 wheels on ebay right now. theyre rotiform twisted 5 knock offs, but im not looking to dump $2000 on wheels. the car is my daily and i have other places that money needs to go at the moment! but yeah, again... I want to run as close to square on the 17x9 +25s on my s13, but without having to modify/pull the crap out of my already rolled fenders! also, will a +25 clear my fortune autos properly? |

FA seems to have tighter clearance than most.
My friend has 500s with 9 +15 and it doesn't clear in front without a spacer. But my koni 86s clear at 17x9 +25 no problem. |

Yeah sorry. I checked with him and he doesn't have to run a spacer but does.
edit: snapped a quick pic of 245s on 17x9 +35. Like I said, doesn't qualify for this thread. Last edited by e1_griego; 01-29-2015 at 02:14 PM.. |

But the entire reason Im posting this, does anyone in this thread have any experience with their inner wheel clearance. The whole point of me buying new wheels is for proper fitment with as square fitment as possible. I dont want to rock a ton of camber because that completely defeats the purpose! So yeah, does anyone know of the wheel to spring clearance on DMax coils is the same as the Fortunes shown above? Actually, one other good question that just came to mind in regards to the photo above... When you mounted your coilovers, did you have the tilt adapaters on the coilover mounts set so you add another degree of camber via the hub itself? Or did you set it outwards to remove camber at the hub? |

I want to say I had it tilted in at the perch for more camber, BUT I don't remember exactly because it's been over a year. And I'm over 3.5 hours away from my s13 at the moment, so I can't go verify.

Buy parts with 5/8" rod ends instead of metric.
That's my $0.02. 17x9 +25 should fit fine, just not with FAs in front, and will take some fender work if you're low. If you run a 235 f/r you should be ok. |

Tried some friends wheels on today, they fit absolutely perfect IMO.
Fronts: 18x9.5 +12 245 40r18 Rear: 18x10.5 +15 275 40r18 The fronts fit perfect with a little camber, sit fender to lip almost and compress up into the fender nicely. Rears could be a tiny bit wider and still be fine. 30mm wide front fenders 50mm rears. |

I would like to go wider but the front was already cambered more than I would have liked it to be. The rear could definitely come out a bit. Plans were to run 18x12 +20 18x9.5 +15 so I think that'd work out depending on tire sizes. It was more cambered than it looks in the pics.

275/40/18? you sure you didn't want to do 35 profile? 40 profile on a 275/18 is quiet tall!
best setup for my S14 so far is what I have now. 18x9.5+15 255/35/18 18x10+38 265/35/18 such grip, so push, much fast cornering and I would suggest you do 255/35/18's in front as well, about same amount of tire patch as 245's, except it fits better so you don't have to have so much camber/rubbing issues. http://www.rimtuck.com/search/thumbn...allf=35&sort=1 check out some pictures of cars with said tire sizes on the link above. useful tool.

You're going to want more gap than that from your coil. Under hard acceleration/squat those tires will hit.

There needs to be more s13s in here!
Anyone have any clearance issues with a 255/40/17 on a 17x9.5 +18 on the front of an s13? Im not worried about the fender, more worried about clearance in the 'tub' of the fender. With the car on the ground it looks pretty close in a few spots haha. |

The rear subframes are nearly identical - except for a couple small reinforcement pieces welded on.

motoman159,
I had 245/40/18's on my 18x9.5+15's in front before..It was too much trouble with fitment and the 255/35/18's fit much better then the 245/40's do. and if the 245/40's are clearing your coilovers right now the 255/35's will deff clear. and as far as brakes goes... My RPF1's clear the 370Z Akebono front brakes with ease(about 15mm gap from spokes to caliper). Good luck finding 3pc wheels that'll clear BBK in 18". one of the reason why I just stayed RPF1's.
