Trying to figure out this wheel fitment...

[LaMaR-]

IDK much about wheel fitment, but trying to learn offsets and stuff..

Stock S13 coupe Dropped on Coils...Was thinking about going with 30mm rear overs but might wanna go with 50mm if these wheels would fit.

Specs are

18x9+28 18x11+18 what would I need to make them fit?

Use the offset calculator.Itll tell you how much the new wheels will stick out.

P.S Can a mod put the offset calculator in the Ultimate sticky cuz i think its gonna help a bunch of noobs in the future.

[S14toRPS13]

Just looking at those numbers I can tell you you're not even close to being flushed with a 50mm overfender. Try a negative offset and use the wheel offset calculator.

Just from looking at the sizes:

Front's will rub coilovers without at least a 8-10mm spacer.Rears will fit under stock body with a slight pull, stretched tire, and a few degrees of negative camber.

You don't need widebody to fit those. They'll fit under stock fenders just fine.

As for spacers, 5-7mm is the safety limit for slip-on spacers on stock studs. Past that and you'll want hubcentric bolt-on spacers. With 18x9+28, you might be able to make them fit with a 7mm slip-on spacer, but it'll be close...

i would get a 15mm bolt on spacer for the fronts making the wheels clear and be more flush.id test mount the 11's and see how much poke there is with your current alignment. what size tire do you want to run and how much camber do you want to run? based on that, we can figure out if you need 30mm overs or not.

11's under a stock fender! LOL!

Yeah right, unless you want it to look like garbage.

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Here's an 18x12 -5 with a MASSIVE pull and a big tire stretch.



Your 18x11s will stick out about an inch less, which is STILL sticking out from that fender pull. Are you really sure you want something like that?

Here's the link to that dude's thread:zer...age=1

[240lookis]

dude 11s in the back are totally doable with work.ive seen a bunch of people fit 18x10.5 +15 te's in the back with a roll and slight pull and 245/40. if you did 245/35 and got a fender roller to do a nice pull, you could fit the 11s out back with -3 camber.

EDIT: and to az89 - those 12 -5 will stick out 36mm more than the 11 +18. get your facts straight.

18x11+18 will poke out about as much as Enkei RPF1 18x10.5+18, but it will be .5 inches closer to the rear suspension. No problems here, just modest rolling/pulling/camber needed.

18x10.5+17

18x11+10

Okay, I'm sorry, 1.4 inches. Still would look horrible with a pulled stock fender. Not to mention stupid as you'd have to run a very stretched tire, also stupid. And who the hell would put a 245 on a 10.5" wide wheel? Retard.



Wow, that looks really stupid.

[Gabes13]

18x11+18 would be sunken w/ 50mm overs

AZ, don't turn this into an anti-stretch argument.

My two cents: I'm putting a 225 on a 10" if it makes anyone's butthole sore.

Many ppl would disagree with you. Besides, the purpose of the pic was to display the amount of poke the OP would be dealing with, not to advocate tire stretching or not. That car has -2 degree of negative camber, which isn't too bad.

If you want to run wider tires, you'll want to pull the fenders more, like in the other pic I showed.

THIS. I understand people like form over function, but come on, at least have the tires KINDA fit.

Sorry for stating my opinion, you're right this isn't a debate on looks. /rant from me

[simmode1]

I totally get ya. I'm not a fan of big stretches either, but I understand its appeal and purpose. I just wanted the OP to have a good idea of what he's in for...

[neverlift]

lol I had to pull my fenders for 225 55 16 16x7+12(no pics)

you can fit fairly low offset wheels under stock fenders all day. 195 60 15 on 15x8-42 check sig and go into the buy my wheels link for pics

[KC240SR]

I like how AZ is talking s*** on these cars that have amazing fitment and his wheels look like some FWD offset cheapies.

[redhb240SXS13]

Pretty sure AZ's wheels are SSR MS-1's, not exactly what i would call cheap.

Were you reffering to the pic of where my car was wrecked? Cause the fender bent outward, thus giving my wheels the "sunken" look.

Lets see some pics of your car hot stuff!

You know AZ, I've probably clicked on your "if you like turtles" link in your sig 5 times.....

And I always forget it just kicks you off.
