rocking 13'' dubs?

Post by **ride4lame** » Mon Dec 01, 2003 5:29 pm

Ok, i found a deal on some enkei's but they are 13" by 5.5I know they aren't wide, but they are gonnabe used if get them as drift wheels, for rear only, so it doesn;t matter that much because i am not that good. But anyway, my main concern is will 13 inch wheels make it over the stock rear brakes? It seems like it should but i wanna make sure.Thanks ahead for all the :help

i would think so, thats only one inch less from the radius compared to the stock 15" steelies and they seem to have a fair amount of room. id find a better source than me tho

15 inch rims are so cheap and junk tires that fit them are so plentiful and widely availible it wouldn't be any cheaper to drift on smaller wheels with more tire slop. Pro-drifters use large rims with small tire aspect ratio's because the stiffer sidewall allows for tires to break loose more predictably. I think 16 inch rims are the best compromise between cost, weight and performance characteristics.

probably will fit but wouldn't be very cool. There's no use for them unless your rocking a geo.

lol, I would love to see an s13 go ghetto like that. It would probably look like complete *** though.

This guy Stanbo at one of the drift meets i went to was running a significantly smaller overall tire diamiter. S13s alrealy ride close to the ground and the smaller diamiter wheels made it sit even lower. Needless to say, i had to help lift the car up off the floor jack after the wheels were put on :pface

Sure it works, but i think its worth it to practice with the correct tire diamiter so its the same weather your at the track or if you decide to slip in a quick drift in a empty parking lot on your way home from work. The 240 can drift really good with stock sized wheels, a stock motor, a LSD, and someone who puts in the practice time
