mikez97 · 11-10-2008, 06:12 AM

for a miata

Brentbohn · 11-10-2008, 06:16 AM

mikez97 · 11-10-2008, 06:18 AM

Brentbohn · 11-10-2008, 06:40 AM

so any pics of a 18 with 42 offset on a s14? going to buy today unless convinced otherwise

*ziptiedae86* · 11-10-2008, 07:01 AM

2 people have already told you NO THEY WILL NOT BE FLUSH, you just aren't listening.

Look at the Wheel Whore thread previously posted and see what specs you like.

I am running 18x10s +32 in the rear (much wider and lower offset than what you're going to waste your money on) and my rears aren't perfectly flush. I would need to roll my fenders and get a 10mm spacer to make it flush.

Brentbohn · 11-10-2008, 07:07 AM

what are u running up front

*fliprayzin240sx* · 11-10-2008, 07:10 AM

18x7.5 +42? Yah itll be flush....

on an ACCORD!!!

Brentbohn · 11-10-2008, 07:13 AM

are you serious? because tirerack doesn't recommend super aggressive fitment that requires suspension modifications, fender modifications and stretched tires.

a 7.5" +42mm is going to look like shit. go browse the wheel fitment thread.

Because theyre fucking stupid?!?! Like already stated for the 489579485938th time...go look in the wheel thread and take your picking. If you dont, then fuck it, go enjoy your sunken ass fitting wheels and dont bitch at us when it looks like shit.

Your car, your money, your decision.

That size and offset is weak. You'll buy them, install them, be ridiculed by your peers, try to sell them for half of what you paid for them, then buy the right wheel. Save your money, by the right wheels the first time.

Tirerack uses a guide book that does not take into account anything other than an OE fitment. Simple. They want the car to remain as close to stock as possible to eliminate possibility of clearance issues. For example if your car had coilovers, those wheels wouldn't come close to fitting.

After all this time of people showing off the correct sizes/offsets, you should know better than to follow anything but that. Search this forum and realize that what you want is at least an 18x9, +20.

mr_kill_666 · 11-10-2008, 02:34 PM

people let him get the wheels, like he said he wants us to convince him. pssssh its ur lame s14 so YOU decide on how u want it to look. and if your avatar is a pic of ur car than i would have to say poor zenki!

.......
damn i cant let the poor zenki suffer, go buy some cheap sportmax 006.
front: 225/40r18 federals 595 on sportmax 006 8.5x18" +35 ( add a 15 or 20 mm spacer for fitment.)
rear: 235/40r18 federals 595 on sportmax 006 9.5x18" +35 ( add a 10 or 15 mm spacer for flushness look)

tires: under 400 shipped
wheels: under 670 shipped
spacers: 100 a pair
tuner lugs: 40 shipped

actual love for your s14.... priceless!!

Brentbohn · 11-10-2008, 08:10 PM

cant i run 25 mm spacers and still be lookin good with 42

aznpoopy · 11-11-2008, 07:59 AM

#1 no, that fitment (7.5 +17mm) still sucks

#2 even if you did get it flush (with a 50+mm spacer), flush 7.5 wheels look stupid because they are too narrow

Ineedparts · 11-11-2008, 11:15 AM

You can run spacers to make it look good. If you found some wheels that you love then get them, you can use spacers to make them sit more flush.

*fliprayzin240sx* · 11-12-2008, 11:08 AM

If your gonna spend money on rims, why dont you do it right and buy something that would actually look good on the car without fucking spacers? Spacers are stupid because its another piece on a car that can fucking fail and break. Get the right size and stop fucking around with dumb shit.

PS: I got a feeling you're pretty much assed out because you already bought ubber gay rims with these sizings...

Maiku240sxS14 · 11-12-2008, 02:55 PM

^ I'm with him...why waste money?! do it right the first time!

BoostedCoupe · 11-12-2008, 03:12 PM

7.5 +42 = FAIL!!! simple 240 math

i stand corrected, i iz sorry.

but what is the offset?
and wheel specs?

chad b. · 11-27-2008, 11:42 PM

To my knowledge, the largest wheel/tire that you can properly run on an s14 in the rear is a 9.5" width, +38 with a 275/40. This is a 17" setup. For the front, I would run an 8.5" width with a 22-25 offset. This is a PROPER setup meaning the tire AND wheel are in the fender well with just enough clearance for coilovers.

LOL, obviously your knowledge is very small and limited. That is not the largest rim/tire combo you can run. GSRACER has already squeezed in way larger than that on his old stock body s14.

Like above, you might want to check this out. http://zilvia.net/f/chat/129865-whee...re-thread.html

Yea, and here is your boy GSRACERS quote about his car. Try again smart ass.

"20 by 11+ 30 with the first pull on 305-25-20's with some camber. I have since pulled the rears an additional 15mm"

so you can roll the fender and still have it be in the fender well. you can also run camber and have it be in the fender well.

"proper" doesn't mean anything

Your 'knowledge' is horrible. Proper means flush, a 9.5", +38 is anything but flush, maybe you meant to say +18 or +8.

Your a TOOL.

work meister s1

18 by 10 +18
18 by 11 +18

275 fronts
305 rears

stock fenders and quarters

That's what he's runing and been running. Till he threw a widebody on it and coverted it to a kouki not to long ago. Anyhow, the 20's was for fun. He's not my boy, but I do respect the guy. You never said anything about rolling fenders, or stretching them, your exact words are "This is a PROPER setup meaning the tire AND wheel are in the fender well with just enough clearance for coilovers." There are plenty of people on this fourm that run way bigger rims with lower offsets on STOCK BODY cars that go by your standards of being "PROPER".
