spacer question.

[thekawaii]

hi i have S13 with stock suspension, But im gonna get KTS coilovers later.

I have Modex KS05 wheels, 16 inch, 8 inch wide, +35 offset.zerothread?id=157229

I want to put 225/50/16 on front, and 245/50/16 on the rear, i just wonder what wheel spacer i need to fit those.....

is 8 mm (5/16") enough? something like this :

edit: i forgot. I must not roll my fenders....

That will work perfect. I am running 8mm spacers up front myself, just to flush up my 16x7+32s a bit more. BTW, you need to post pics of your car/tires/flushness and all that jazz after you get it all mounted up. I want to see how well 245s fit on an 8", because I am thinking abot running some out back. Also, please don't skimp on tires. You have some nice looking wheels, but without good rubber, it's gonna be worthless.

just run 225s all around so you can rotate

first remember more width does not equal more grip in a straight line

second remember that 240-250 like the other thread said you were looking for isnt enough for a wider tire no matter what

ive got to get on msn more so i can talk to you, anyway run the 215/50/16 or 225/50/16 all around and youll be fine

and of course you know how i feel about the avons, available in both sizes

I am thinking of Hankook Ventus Z212

you don't like my 245 idea? stagger. stagger stagger

[nismofly]

you dont need it need it need it

since you dont need it, itll be just for looks if you do get it, and then youll regret it cause you cant rotate tires, and youll have understeer

[thekawaii]

man it looks so good on 245.

Anyway, I thought wider tire will not give anymore grib, but tire will last longer....? since there's lots of stress on rear tire, i thought i'd be nice to have wider tire like stock (195 front, 205 rear)

[naed240sx]

Stock does not come with a stagger.

[thekawaii]

"I must not roll my fenders...."

Why, pray tell.

[thekawaii]

i have body work going on, if i roll my fender, it'll crack bondo.

[nismofly]

i think you might be getting roll and pull confused

[thekawaii]

I know what pulling is. but pulling the fender out look kinda weird.

huh? a wider tire will not last any longer than a set that can be rotated. you are totally underestimating the benefit of rotating your tires.
