Question about rims fitting my S13

[S13xCrazy]

Hey guys i was wondering if rims with these specs:- 18"x9.5" +20 - 18"x9.5" +35 would fit my 91 240 coupe with stock suspension?I know your gonna say go with suspension first, but thats coming for christmas. Thanks in advance guys!

1.) Why the hell is this in 240sx general?

2.) They will fit, but only if you run a very low profile and stretched tire.

3.) 18s suck on s13s if you are at all interested in the way your car performs.

I have 18X10 +30 on the rear of my s13 w/ stock suspension.

Tires are 255/45/18

They fit fine... I rolled the fenders slightly since the tires were rubbing a little bit.



ALSO, coming from someone who has 18's...... I WOULD NOT recommend them. I don't like them anymore.

Your's don't really fit though, no offence. They stick out a lot, and if you were any lower they would ram straight into the fenders under compression. With more camber and 245s they could be pulled off better.

In addition, your tire diameter is WAY larger than stock.

Everyone who is new to 240's always wants to get 18" wheels at first, and the people who actually do get them end up regretting it later on.

I got right ones 17s, but almost got 245/40 17, but went with 235/40 17. 245 would have been little too big. NICO wheel/tire forum helped me a lot.

Can a mod start moving these threads to Wheels/Tires/Suspension or give me mod priveledges so that I can do so?

I see soooo many wheel and suspension questions asked in 240sx general.

^^ Give him previlege...

The only reason I got 18's was because that is the only size the wheels I wanted came in. Now I wish I would've gotten the same wheels in a different finish and in 17's.

I loved them at first, but now after not driving my car for 3 months, when I look at it, I just think

You live and learn.

Yes, so we can stop hearing the beeeching.

i got a set of 18s..mm 18s suck, definitely.it came with the car so i cant bish, but it still sucks.18x8.5, 225/45 rear and 225/40 front.i went with 225/45 rear since thats all there was avail in a hurry for cheap.

Yoko ES100 rear and Kuhmo ASX front.wow, i cant say how much ASX sucks. :rollz:i hate how my car handles now.. pirelli tires that came with the car that was worn down to the slicks seems to handle 10x better than the ASX tires.

the rears are okay.. but the high profile sucks.

all in all, 18s suck ***, dont get em.

Word, I'll take the honors as well.

Everyone hates on 18's, but I personally like them on s13's. I know they arent anything optimal for performance, but I think they look good for street/show purposes. Not everyone wants their 240 to be a damn track car. Seriously, you cant hate on this car.

[babowc]

mm..they're pretttty darn stretched tires.i hate it! :Pi just hate how high my 18s make my car sit..they're all pretty good gap wise and all, but me.h.. 18s are overkill even for a street car.maybe a show car not to mention the crazy tire prices.

[94_240sx]

Seriously, you cant hate on this car.

LMGT4s look nice on any car. Sometimes LMGT4s+tires will cost way more than actual car though...

[whiterps13]

not to mention the crazy tire prices.

Thats the only negative I can think of.

[whiterps13]

I agree. But, theyre 18's so 99% of NICOnauts will call them rice or overkill. I feel like Im preaching to the choir so I'll just go retreat to my cave.

Moved

Feel free to contact a Mod/Admin to have them moved.

Watch me

Sky high, uneven ride height, and totally boring.

By the way, 18s suck because you can't have wide wheels and still maintain stock or smaller rolling diameter, because good tire choices just aren't available. This means that you end up ****ing over your already too-high gearing, and making it impossible to have a low car without rubbing your fender tubs like mad.

Moved

Thanks!

[amolao]

Keep it old school, guys....the car was engineered to roll on 16 inch tires.

I still remember how much I loved to see 510's sporting nice 15' Libra's.....

[naed240sx]

Wait... what?

I HATE YOU.

ok, sorry....15'/16's depending of the year.....

[naed240sx]

ok, sorry....15'/16's depending of the year.....

Wait, so that was a serious remark?

UGHHHH. The car was also engineered pre 1990 and marketed towards women here in the US. Your reasoning infers that from a performance point of view the car is perfect to begin with? This makes me laugh hard and want to kick you in the face.

I suppose that my coilovers are a waste of money and aren't helping the car to handle any better because it was designed with 1.9kg/mm springs in mind?

Once again, UGGHHH

How dem 19'z sittin' so steezin'!

it was just engineered with that in mind.not saying it wont improve the quality/handling of the car by adding aftermarket parts.

the suspension set from factory was designed with the 15"/16" wheels in mind, although it may not be the ideal setting, thats what it was designed on.

lol, why are you overreacting so much?

[naed240sx]

not saying it wont improve the quality/handling of the car by adding aftermarket parts.

Then why the hell did he mention that? He was INFERING that 15s/16s are the absolute best for performance because that is how the car was designed

So then why mention it at all? It was of no relevance to this thread.

lol, why are you overreacting so much?

Because people thinking that the car can't be improved or should be left alone because they think that it was engineered for absolute performance domination piss me off.

1. he didnt say it was the absolute best option, he said the car was ENGINEERED to roll on 15/16. he never mentioned it was the best option.2. he didnt, you did. suspension wise, that is.3. lol its you again, thinking that, noone mentioned anything about the car not being able to be improved.

If that's not what he was trying to say then why the **** did he even post it? It wouldn't make any sense in the context of the thread. It would be like me saying "I like to food" in the middle of this thread. Totally irrelevant comment if this is the case.
