265/40/17 or 255/40/17...how did you clear - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

KoukiMnster · 10-13-2011, 12:22 PM

Is anyone running a non staggered 265/40/17 or a 255/40/17 on their S14? How the fuck did u clear the coilovers? Big spacer? Please post what works and what doesn't, want to know before i make the jump.

ino20 · 10-13-2011, 12:49 PM

i ran 255/40/17 and 275/40/17 w/rpf1 17x9.5 +38 off set, i have a 20mm spacer all around

JSimpson · 10-13-2011, 12:50 PM

9.5in and 10.5 in Volk LE37 25mm spacer all around. 255/i forget/18, 275/35/18

97240sxSR20 · 10-13-2011, 12:51 PM

This would all depend on the offset of the wheel or yes spacers, and then once it clears that you would have to worry about the fender.

JSimpson · 10-13-2011, 02:53 PM

look at the back of your rims, it should say an ET number. That is your offset. I assume you have higher offset wheels if they wont clear the coilover. Thus get 1.5 or 2 inch spacers and roll and flare with a bat until they dont hit fender. If your on stock front fenders get 1.5 inch spacers (38mm) if your on +20 or +30mm fenders get 2 inch spacers (50mm)

idahotuner · 10-23-2011, 06:11 PM

I got some new 275/40/17 F's for a good deal if your interested

Brok3n_RB25 · 10-23-2011, 07:19 PM

255/40/17 BFG kdw 2's clear by about a business card in the front at -2.5 degrees of camber or less. The backs clear under -2.0 degrees of camber by about a business card, also. I don't have any issues rubbing the coils anymore. I did when I had a more aggressive camber setup.

RBX28DETT · 11-01-2011, 07:51 PM

i got fn's 17x10 with +12 255-40-17s no problems with coilovers o camber but rear quarter panels rolled the hell out.. as long as you get 20+ or less offset youll be fine.

I test fitted my 255 40's on my Battles (17x9.5 +15) and it doesn't fit under my rolled fenders (gonna need a small pull). How much camber are you running ATM?

Got any pictures?

RBX28DETT · 11-05-2011, 10:32 AM

No pics. but i had to pull the rear fenders to the point were the top has a crease and edge comes out about 2inches.. so a small pull wont be enough.

Tenchuu · 11-06-2011, 01:06 AM

255/40/17 on a 17x10+18, i need a bit more of a pull in the back. front is rolled also, clears fine with a -.5 camber up front.

I ran a 245/45/17 on 17x9+28 all around with a 8ish mm spacer before that.

xclusive_s · 11-13-2011, 06:07 PM

spacers, fender roll and depending on your offset of the wheels

Seraphim38 · 11-13-2011, 06:36 PM

as said above, it depends on your wheel offset. I am running 17x9 (+35?) RPF1 fronts with 235/40/17 Falken Azenis RT615 tires and had to run a small spacer to clear the coilovers. The rears are 17x9.5 (also +35 I think) RPF1s with Nitto NT05 275/40/17s with no spacer and a slight pull/roll. I hope to switch to NT05 255/40/17 fronts and move up to 17x10 +18 RPF1s in the rear, and then it'll be happier. Fenders are rolled but stock for now. I will probably move to a widebody setup in the spring.

*fliprayzin240sx* · 11-13-2011, 07:04 PM

Like Tenchuu posted up...heres my old S14 with 17x10 +18 RPF1s on 255/40-17 Nitto NT01s all around.

dreaMervaj · 12-05-2011, 01:52 PM

255 40's on Battles (17x9.5 +15) and it's rubbing in the front. I'm not sure what camber is at ATM. Would a 5mm slip on spacer make it clear? Damn....

4-20sx · 12-05-2011, 02:08 PM

well im running 18x9.5 +15 with 245/35/18 up fronts (clears my z brakes and my fender really well) and my rears im running 18x10.5 +18 with 265/36/18. I needed to roll my rear fenders slightly but came out sweet....

to get an understanding of this...check out www.rimtuck.com...it will show you the offsets on each car and wheels.

eddieflo · 12-05-2011, 02:19 PM

17x9 +35 on 5mm spacer all around on my s14. 235/45/17 on all four wheels.

koukistylejdm · 12-17-2012, 01:40 PM

my rpf1 18x9.5 ET +15 rubbed on my coilovers i needed 7mm spacers and it still credit card flush

Wheel-Trade · 12-20-2012, 08:51 PM

Love the RPF1!

beems240sx · 12-26-2012, 02:59 PM

i ran 17x9.5 +12 255/40r17 falken rt-615k with only a roll. cleared everything just fine full lock to lock.

s13conv · 02-16-2013, 01:31 PM

You guys should also mention how much negative camber F&R you had to run to get them to fit.

vehicle336 · 02-16-2013, 08:15 PM

First off, old thread, second, no one makes a 265/40/17-sized tire. It doesn't exist. Third, thread necromancy, mmmmmm
