[Obbie1]

car - 95 240sx sesuspension - megan street coilovers/extended studs, spacers availablepurpose - drag race, autox, daily driven.

i currently have FD wheels with 255 MT ET street radials on the back. but i'm lookin for some aftermarket wheels to replace them with the azenis

i'm lookin for somethin like these. but i also want a decent size lip if possibleor

but i dont want to do anything other than roll the fenders. are you able to fit 275s on a 17x*something wheel with the stock body?

only pic from the side

and yes i need tires that wide and sticky

thanks, -Robbie

no one here run these kind've tires that can help out?

[naed240sx]

Not gonna fit with mild camber and only a roll. Pull your damn fenders. A proper pull doesn't even look very flared. The only fender pulls that look bad are the people that flare it out and up, but this gives no extra wheel room. Pull them out only, and they will look practically stock. Nobody can even tell that mine are pulled, and they are pulled out about 3/4 inch.

Anways mounting 275's on s14s is cake. I've seen it done on the front with 305 rears. Run a relatively high offset and you will be fine.

[Obbie1]

305s, really? how high of an offset? i would love to have 295 or 305s on the back. that would help tremendously. i just dont want any crazy camber that will eat the tire away, or any flares or widebody crap

and as for "pulling the fender" i guess that's a different tool all together than a fender roller?

[DJButton]

A fender roller can pull and roll the fenders, just do it the right way with heat and very slowly and you'll be all set. 305's go easy on the back of an S14, seconded. 17X10+30 give or take, slight pull and roll and done.

NOW, to make an example of you, a little negative camber is not tire eating, it's lots of toe, I don't care what you've heard or who's told you, forget it, they are wrong. Running lots of camber will kill the tires though, naturally. EDITED for clarification.

[naed240sx]

nah you can pull fenders with the same tool as a fender roller.

And DJ:Camber can kill tires too, just not as quickly as wacked out toe settings can. To think somebody can run whatever camber settings they want and not wear tires is ignorant. Take it from me, I've had like 20+ alignments on my s13's, so I'm pretty knowledgeable about this stuff.

Yeah, I should have been more clear on that, I meant running a little camber isn't going to kill your tires, like running the same amount of toe will. Obviously -13 degrees will eat tires up like no tomorrow. But most people think running a few degrees of negative camber is going to kill tires like they're on a D1 car.

i'm running a 17x9 +26 all the way around w/ my S14. I have a 245/40 up front, and a 275/40 MT ET Radial out back. its flush as can be and sexy as hell!

[Obbie1]

are you using any spacers? care to post some up close pics?

[Largekid]

i actually had some 5mm spacers on w/ the old rims and took them off to put these on, as soon as I get my camera fixed/borrow one, i'll post some pics up. I was stoked when I put the car back on the ground! I may need a slight roll out back for when I am launching, but for now it looks good!

This is very close to the exact same set up i'm thinking about running, i'd love to see some pics!

[Largekid]

I dont know why I look at this, but since its back from the dead...deffinatly need a fender roll/pull out back, the front is perfect.
