S13 RB Wheel/Tire setup?

[USMCgetsome]

So i want to bump my ride to some 18's but wondering what u guys are using on your rb setup? 18x8 18x9 like some 225's? My 17's hang as it is right now but just curious to see what u guys are using.

i run 5 lug 300zx Z32 rims for daily, then i have some Tenzo R 18x7.5's ill probably never use.

Anything bigger than 16s and say goodbye to straight forward acceleration grip.

r33 GT-R wheels, re-01's out back, proxxes up front. yeah they are 17x9 on all 4's.

[Darius]

18x9 in front and 18x10 out back

[USMCgetsome]

what tire sizes205,216,225 on those 18's

[240z4u]

18x9.5 on the back with 265/35/18s, had 275/35/18s. Car will not hookup with this combo at ALL. No, I didn't have garbage tires.

I am going to run something along the lines of 16x9.5 in the back this summer and sell my 18 inch wheels. Its a waste. They look good, but not functional in the least bit.

thanks! that is what i needed to know before i went getting new wheels and tires. i'm going to get some 17x9 and 17x10's.

[240z4u]

Your making a wise choice. Besides, you can get drag radials for 17s as well.

Personally.. I'd go with 8's max up front with stock fenders... my GT-R wheels need spacers to clear my strut, sure you can order better offsets of AM wheels, but they are hella fat, also I had to beat my fender well a bit on the firewall side for clearance. Oh yeah, I've got roller fenders as well. With 2-3 degrees of neg camber.

I'm running volk se37's 17x8.5 front and 17x9.5 rear with 245/45 front and 255/40 rear nitto 555's. Not real happy with the tires but they were on the wheels when I got 'em and are almost new...

[lilskyline240]

im running 17x8's in the front and 17x10's with 255's in the rear. Nitto 555's. i have yet to drive my Rb but ima guess ima still get severe spin

I have 17x8.5 Rota D2s all the way around.

big difference between s13 and s14 chassis then. running the same wheels with no spacers. 255 F, 275 R. minor roll in the rears and thats it. camber settings are within factory spec in the front, a little more negative in the rear (i think -2.5 or -3, but that is a limitation of the factory arm adjustment, not fitment)

hmmm makes me curious on what im going to need to do to run 18x10's in the back on my s13, anyone running 18x10 on your s13? if so what was required to fit it ?

[lilskyline240]

18's look rediculous on an s13. Too big IMO. 17's are as big as u should go.

[matafied]

to each his own dude! they look rediculous on a stock s13 yes, but some people like the look. i plan on running a staggered setup

[Kansei240sx]

I am jealous... I have the Z32 wheels up front and the widest thing i can fit BARELY with a 25mm hubcentric spacer is freakin 215s. They sit just barely flush outside the fender and about half an inch away from my struts.

I dont see how you're fitting 245's and 8 inch rims with stock fenders on these things and getting clearance, i guess Z32 rims just suck for S13's up front.

Then again, i dont like them that much anyways, i need new rims. 16 is as big as ill go though.

[Sil240]

I have 18*8.5 Buddy club P2'sWith G-force sport 225's all around.Went with same so that I can rotate my wheels.

I have Z32's as track wheels, even though my car only sees the garage lol

[RB_Seth]

im not sure if youve seen this tread before, but theres alot of different setups in there zerothread/265282

I run 18x8.5 with 225/45? fronts and 18x9.5 255/35 in the rear. I still have to roll all my fenders to go lower, also had to bend up a lip on the frame rail in the front, i havent changed anything in the rear for fitment.

[HxC_Nismo]

im running z32tt 16x8.5 in the rear with 255/50/16 with stock suspension and the 16x7.5 in the front with 3mm spacers and 225/50/16 bfg g-force sports tires all around and another set of z32tt rear wheels with mickey thompson 255-50-16 drag radials for the strip. and this setup i rarely spin when i shift into 2nd and 3rd and im puting down 370rwhp.

[rbosacco]

i have a s13 car with 17x9's all the way around with 235 45's up front and 275 40's in the back.

[lucky7]

im dumb. i have 225/45's all around. do yourself a huge favor, DONT run 225's in the rear. they dont do much. :lol:
