Okay, I'm looking at a pair of WORK equip wheels 18x10.5, 5x114.3 with -22 offset. I have a stock body 91 240sx fastback and wondering how wide these wheels will stick out and what mm over-fenders are needed or unless fenders rolled/pulled. These are mainly for the rear.

You're going to need a pretty serious widebody. I have 8" wide rims with 0 offset and they stick out quite a bit. I think you will need AT LEAST 50mm over fenders to make them fit. Even then you might be pushing it.

it depends on how low the car is. if your slammed you can fit those under the stock fender with a nice pull.

Hmmm, are you reffering to the 8" wide, 0 offset or referring to the 10.5 wide, -22 offsettings?

Guess I'll have to pay for the price of wanting mega-lippage. Thanks, I'll see what happens.

you are going to hate it with out wide fenders. that is WAY to much negatve off set to run on a 10.5 wide rim especially if you are doing it on a S13.

rear: 18x10 -13, plenty of camber (no rucas), 245/35pic doesn't look like much camber for some reason

You have a pretty decent pull, but his rims are going to be a half inch wider and have -9 degrees more offset thats almost 3/4 inch more exposed tire if my math is right which means with out an extreme pull and some good camber it will look rediculous(sp) IMHO

i could pull the fender out more to fit that but that is in overfender range. best idea is to get 30mm fenders and just push them in to fit the wheel before attaching them. i'll be getting overfenders soon to get rid of the camber.

DAYUMN, -22 is gonna hurt my car, -13 already looks good enough on yours with that pull, and I suppose that maxed?

wait, what do you mean - are you going to push in the overfender? 18 x 10 all around? wats the front

very nice, that is examplary of how wheels can transform an entire car.

I want to ask what wheels those are, but even if you told me I dont want to copy you. I want some dayton spokes. with the jdm skirts and aero bumper.

that would be truly unique

when you mount the fender you can bow it out or push it in if you need more or less clearance, the fiberglass isn't totally rigid. push both sides in towards the wheel well and it'll bow out and be wider, or go out from the wheel well and it won't stick out as far. my friend has 18x13 -15 with a 295 on his s14 with version select 30mm overfenders, tucking rim too.

front is 18x9 +0, if i had any camber adjustment i'd put more negative cause it rubs a bit. work emitz. the drivers side of my car is pulled a bit more but it looks like **** cause it was wrecked at some point and there's a crap load of bondo on the rear 1/4 that started coming off when i was pulling it. i did my pulling with a 4 lb hammer and a torch so it's not all the great.
