What's your ideal wheel size for a 'vert?

[whitelines13]

So what is it ..17" or maybe 18" ..got any pics with wheels on a vert .thanks

[JSvert240sx]

mine with 18's:

I felt there really wasn't enough tire on them, and plan on switchin to 17's

[adrianfromthecastle]

i dont think s13's should go bigger than 17's.. just my opinion

[Rey78]

On 1 car, I've got:18x9.5 with 275x35x18 REARS18x8.5f with 225x40x18 FRONTSOnly modification is I had the rear 1/4s rolled with an Eastwood tool

On the other car I have:19x9.5 with 255x35x19 ALL AROUND (Time Attack Style)The modifications include:Custom METAL wide body (Skyline/WRX style)

Pretty much, anything goes

[Schnorchel]

Vert has a sleek & slim profile, so I think 17s look best. You know what I mean? I think most vert guys who go for aftermarket rims get 17s.

This car has 17x7...zer...01864

[madcowvert]

imo 17's

[BOOMSHAKALAKA]

I was originally going for 16's but I will be getting 17's instead.

[whitelines13]

16s look smaller and 17s will also work better if you drop your car because 16s will go lower more... which is not good sometimes.

your welcome man i just gald we got it working....

[Eikon]

my car on 18's. Just needs to be lowered. 18's are a little big for the car... but not bad. 19's might be over the line for size..

[slownslurious]

17x9 +27 for the front is the max I'd do on stock fenders and anything near a decent ride height. for the rears you can stuff 17x10 +29 or so. roll the lips all around, it will look good.

[krash]

yo topless is that "240sx" avatar pic my pic? cuz if it is i feel like a cool photographer person haha

[BOOMSHAKALAKA]

haha yea it is...hope you didn't mind or anything. I really liked how you took the pic and decided to add my own touches to it.

[krash]

naw its cool. like i said, i feel like a cool photographer person now lol

[TIMELSS_vert]

depends, 18s are needed if you are going to kit the car, but if you are going to keep stock body, or a simple lip thensick nasty 16's maybe 17's, but thats just the ricer side talk

[BOOMSHAKALAKA]

I'm going to be getting a kit from Version: Select or Origin later on. I'm still probably going to get 17's.

[BOOMSHAKALAKA]

.

[jrsink]

its all about coilovers (suspension)...well, and sidewall size too.around here everybody has 18 on their 240 in tampa now, but i think the best s13's have 15's on em dropped to hell! i have 16x7 but no suspension...

[94_240sx]

The thing is Version Select or Origin kits are bit wild, so you should get massive 18s, otherwise your car will end up looking like this.

True...ill probabnly get the wheel setup of the ones I posted earlier...BTW what are they? I mean the offsets?

FNs have 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 and buch of different offsets.

You have to do some research and know what you want to do like staggered setup, stretched tires...etc. But before that... IMO you don't want to put too wild bodykit on the vert. Since we don't have hardtop, it looks kinda weird with having fat bottom. You know what I mean? I rather go for subtle/mild bodykit and keep the car's slim looking. Besides if you want 18s, 5 lug conversion is like 95% required and your brakes will look tiny inside of wheel. If not, there's a chance you can find a good set of 17 inch 4 lug rims.

BTW, you can see how neko punch's car has been transformed here.

Yea lately I've been looking into all that stuff because you can't just say "hey im gonna put 18's on my ride and it'll look good." I realized there's more to it than that. As for the bodykit, you're right...i'm still looking around...it doesn't need anything too extravagant, something simple. I was hopeing somebody could photoshop those pics for me so I could see how it would look on a convertible. And i'm gonna do a 5 lug conversion later on.

I am running a 18x9+20 fr and 18x10+12 rear. It is a little extreme for my taste, but it looks good. I plan on buying some grenades for the vert and switching the wheels I have on my vert to my s14 since they look better on there.

Be sure to post pics of how it looks.

[DeXteR]

here's my vert with sportmax 962's:



sorry my ugly mug has to be in it. it's the best picture i could find with the wheels.

anyways 17x7 in front wrapped with 205/45-17 and 17x9 in rear wrapped with 255/40-17. i love them except i wish the fronts had a deeper offset.

[BOOMSHAKALAKA]

^ Hey those look pretty good. You are right though about the front needing a deeper offset. All you needed were some coilovers.

[DeXteR]

yeah that picture was pre-suicidal deer (actually that was on my and my wife's honeymoon.... i had a lot of plans for modifying the vert including coil-overs, but now i need to start all over.
