91 240sx wheel and tire combo.

[180sx Dreams]

What is the perfect wheel and tire specs that would fill out the fenders on a 91' 240? I want it to fill out the fender as much as possible, but I don't want them to be too big that the front tires scrape the inside of the front fenders when turning. Some one give me a good size and specs. PLEASE!

Use the search button, or actually get out and measure your car. Your question depends on what, if any type of modification you are willing to do to your fenders.

[180sx Dreams]

none at all actually.

a 15x7 with 0 offset will fill all perfectly. a 15x7.5 with -5 offset, (below) with a little fender roll will look the best in rear!

[180sx Dreams]

I want a nice lip in the back. any suggestions for that?

[naed240sx]

buy wheels with a nice lip?

[180sx Dreams]

like what offset would it be? I want the wheels to seat flush with the body u kno?

[naed240sx]

Have you read the wheel/tire FAQs? An offset making a 7" wheel would not make an 8" wheel flush. Flushness also has to deal with what size tire you are using. Lip size depends on wheel design as much as offset does. Learn about what offset is, measure the tolerances on your car, and do the math.

impossible to have flush wheels without doing fender modifications.

i'm not sure what you mean but that isn't even close to correct!

[chmercer]

nope, im right. if you dont roll your fenders, its going to suck, always.

[cdlong]

flush is an opinion. like for example, i would say 15x7 +0 on an S13 would stick out.

like it's been said before, do some research and some math and figure it out for yourself.

[chmercer]

flush

anything else, just plain isnt.

note - this can NOT be acchieved without rolling your fenders. if you dont roll your fenders, it will always be sunken by at the very least a cm.

[Juujai]

it can be flush but it will be high off the ground. rolling fenders is necessary when it's dropped hard

it depends how much neg camber you decide to run. but lip design is based on wheel design. look around for pictures of how you want the wheel to look like but raise/lower offset more/less camber to your liking.

some things you may need if you want flush flush, fender roll/maybe pull, front camber plates, rear upper control arms and stretched tires. camber and fender modifications can fit almost any wheels.

if you're not willing to do any of that you go with higher offset wheels if that satisfies you that is. anything under 40 offset

btw (thread jack) chmercer do you know why those japanese guys run more camber in the rear than front or more in front than rear. for example the black pimp van. i know it gets more lip but why not lower offset in the front with more camber? or higher offset/smaller width in rear so it's more proportional

that's why i said "flush" is an opinion. i don't call that flush, that sticks out beyond the body of the car. flushness can also include the tire, it doesn't need to be stretched. like i said, it's an opinion.

the reason they run more camber in the rear is suspension design. with a strut, you can only run so much camber. multilink designs gain more camber through the suspension travel and can be set up to run a lot morewithout too much effort.

[Juujai]

well there's like 2 flushes i think. the tip of the wheel lined up parallel to the fender at any cost IE bashing, pulling, forcing, neg camber, wide fenders, flares whatever else.

and then there's regular flush that's just get close to the fender doesn't really need to line up can put a bigger tire oem style.

yeah but i've seen some people run like 6-7degs camber in front and like 2 in rear

and then some people run like 6-7 in rear and close to stock in front. i don't really get what's the point why not max camber in both front and rear? or go conservative in front and rear instead of doing it half asz? like the red super made s14 has it proportional, and the bn rx7 fd has a lot in front and lesser in rear.
