The 18x10 P45R2's only come in +20 offset. Plenty run 18x10 up front. But don't mistake that to say that it's easy. Cuz it ain't. But then again... neither is pimpin'.

You're gonna need spacers up front to clear whatever coilover you've got, unless you have Megans with their extended bracket. You probably want like a... 7mm slip on spacer (at least) to bring you to a +13 offset on that wheel. Any wider spacer will need to be a hubcentric bolt-on one. Then stretch on some 235/40/18's. Roll fenders, dial in negative camber that you're happy with and go from there before you start doing a fender pull.

If you wanna run wider tires up front, you're gonna need to beat the hell out of your inner wheel well walls to keep from rubbing.

Post pics when you're done. I love those wheels.

Thanks i will post pic i have the p45r3 already, im going to order p45r2 today should have them by next week.

but i really dont want to have spacers i think im going with 9.5 then..
but by ten would look killer on front .

The 18x9.5+15's should clear coilovers just fine. The 18x10+20.'s would clear if you had Megans with extended brackets.

But you're going 18x9.5 and 18x12? Holy Porsche stagger, Batman....

Usually I just stay out of threads like this but I'm drunk so what the f***...

a 235 tire fits square on an 8" wide rim, putting it on a 10" wide rim is tacky, pathetic and potentially dangerous. Mounting absurdly wide rims with absurdly skinny tires and titty-f*** camber just so they'll clear the fenders is about as gay as NOS stickers, 3 foot tall whale tale wings and lambo doors, and generates about the same level of increase in vehicle performance, all the while being much more hazardous. How the hell is it that the S-chassis community, which prides itself on tasteful, performance oriented modification has completely given itself over to this juvenile s***? And when the f*** will we get over it?

Strong words? maybe, but someone had to say it

HAHAHAHAHAHA OMG can i use that as my sig!?!?! thats funny hahaha

^^^Go for it.

You're joking, right? I dunno, man. I get what you're saying but I think you're giving this community a little too much credit. 240's have "Hoon" written all over them, IMO. Who cares? And really, all this stretching talk really just comes from my assumption that he's trying to fit this under stock fenders. Who knows? Maybe he's already widebodied.

235/40 on an 18x10

Not for everybody, but I wouldn't sweat it, personally.

You wanna complain about a stretch? You should probably be more concerned with what he plans to mount on that 18x12+20...lol

If it were me though, I'd do the 18x9.5's up front and the 18x10's in the rear wrapped in sticky 235/255 rubber. But thats not what he asked. I guess it depends on what kinda power you're making, but I'm more used to seeing 350Z's fit those 18x12's with no problems. Its alot of work, kinda overkill on S-Chassis and I don't even wanna think about the understeer that stagger is gonna produce. But whatever... Not my car.

forgot to say i dont have stock panels anymore, rear i have 40mm dmax and front are ebay 30mm chepos i can fit them p45r3 on rear and p45r2 x10 in front, was planing to run a 295/35 but its to tall on back next set of tires are going to be 295/30 current size on my x12 are 285/35 they look sweet but i want more footprint on the rear. front i know i can fit a 275 with no problem, and how do i kno. wmy bro has a pair of mustang gt500 18x10 et24 so on my front p45r2 im going to fit a 265 or the most of stretch ill do will be a 255 and that's to much in my opinion. and i will have to add a spacer like simmode1 said to avoid some wheel to coilover rubbing

Yeah you're probably right, like I said, I'd been drinking lol. Notice the level of swearing goes up with the alcohol intake as well

yeah looks less outlandish then I was picturing.

I'd worry about the stagger a lot more on an S13 than an S14. S13's tend to understeer a bit more for some reason, not sure if its down to weight distribution or suspension design, but having driven both, the S14 is definitely the more neutral of the two. I'd actually be nervous about driving an S14 with some power at speed without a bit more tire out back. Being unexpectedly sideways at high speed going into a corner is not my cup of tea.

For me, my ideal setup, which I'm planning to run when my tax return comes in next spring, is a 17x8 +25 with a 245/40 up front and a 17x10 with a 275/40 in the rear. Should leave me plenty of wiggle room in the wheel wells without having to mess with the fenders to much and a decent amount of rubber on the road as well. I'm planning to do some track days with 250-300 to the wheels in the near future so I'm looking for some grip.

[madsx]

this are going to be my dd wheels not for the track. i'm going to get 17 on the future for the track. its not like i race on the way to work or when im going to get a burger, lol well sometimes. 250 300 its what i have on my sr, need more grip current 18x9 dont grip at all .. still on the search for the 17" ...

[madsx]

have my wheels on already but cant find how to post picture.. ha!
