will mb battles fit on an s13?

[okinawa drift]

ok so im stummped, i ordered some 17x9.5 +15 offset mb battles, i KNOW they will fit the rear but will the fit the front without rubbing on my coilovers or anything else?

i plan to go 225/45/17 all the way around, someone with mb battles let me know if it fits, pleease!

thanks!

Why would you order something that you are unsure if they will fit or not?

+15 offset will not rub your coilovers. The only thing that it'll probably rub is the fender depending on the height of your car.

Oh and on another note... The MB's are 5 lug btw just in case you didn't already know.

ohh ok, sweet, yeah i know they are 5 lug, i didn't exactly order them, the shop ordered them just because i told them too, lol.. but thanks for the reply man!

look at the last page of my build thread. they fit.

they also hit coilovers in the front. Parts Shop Max coils. a 3mm spacer fixed that.

pics are ALL over my thread. granted i rub with 245/45/17, but i like manly tires..

SEARCH next time.

seriously.

Yes. They do. This is my buddy David's car. 17x9.5+15 with 235/40/17 tires.

^^ nice.

i would not go with a 45 sidewall though. go with 235/40 like the car above me. with a 45 you will run into many more rubbing issues

225/45 is ew.

Make sure you relocate your harness and roll your fenders, they will fit.

[Jdmstyles]

It just depends what coils you have really. Some are thicker and wider than others, which means it's possible that they may rub as mrgreeneyes stated.

Get the Weapons. Battles are becoming the new 962s.

[240lookis]

well its because weapons have no concave and only come in 9J.

[okinawa drift]

thanks for all the input guys, i have stance gr+ pros, so hopefully they don't rub on them, i'de be pissed.. cuz they are like brand new.. and also i would go with a 40 sideway, but im not gonna be able to SLAM my car due to my driveway being f***ed up so i think 45 would be an ok fitment.. but damn.. your friends hatch looks good..

[okinawa drift]

heres 225/45

[OM3GA]

Yes. They do. This is my buddy David's car. 17x9.5+15 with 235/40/17 tires.

thats odd. My name is David and I have that same tire size!

17x9.5 all the way around 235 40 17 (go with that tire size trust me i ran 225 45 first.)

[Jdmstyles]

^ I like it.

215/45 f 225/45

215/45 are about the same as a 235/40 after stretch. but seriously f*** 45 series sidewalls especially in the front.

215.40.17 all around.

[SR24DET]

Dave (OM3GA) wins with the best wheel fitment. BUt I was wondering how they dont rub when you hit a bump while driving. They do right? They have to.

[BIGTIMER_240]

Heres mine hehe

[adrianfromthecastle]

I vote 215/40 or at least 225/40 up front.

Keep the 225/45 sidewalls for the rear imho

[Ohio_S13]

I have MB Battles that size and I went with 235/40/17 all around, rolled/pulled fenders, and I run -2 degrees of camber in the front -1.5 degrees rear. You should clear your coilovers fine but you will have to work on the inner fender in the front to stop any scraping.I will post a pic later.

[Ohio_S13]

I just realized that I don't have any pics showing the fitment of these wheels. They do stick out about 1/2 inch in the rear.

[johntheisland]

can you guys post your alignment settings? I want to get 9.5 +17 but not sure if I can run a grip alignment on stock fender with roll

[Ohio_S13]

My stats are -2 camber front and -1.5 camber rear.

[johntheisland]

Thanks for the info ohios13, you car looks real clean. Do you track your car? what size and offset is the rim?

Sorry for the many questions, trying to find out because I might pickup these 17x9.5 +17 work xd9 and not sure if I could get it to fit on my stock fender with too much roll and too much camber since I'm tracking the car

I auto-x with my car, but I used 17x9 +15 5zigen FNs with 235/40/17 tires all around for that. These wheels are 17X9.5 +15 but fit ok because I have my fenders rolled and pulled (pretty big pull in front/small pull in rear). With that size you should be ok.

For the track you could add more camber but my set-up was more for the street and launching at the start of an auto-x course.
