Wheel/Tire Size Problem

[Dhayes9]

I know that this topic is covered in other posts but i just wanted to be certian when purchasing wheels for my specific application. I will be buying FN01's for my 89' s13 with 20mm front over fenders and a 1 1/4" roll and pulled rear fenders. I will be runnimg Stance GR+Pro coilovers. I am most likely going to buy 17" wheels and am looking for help with offset, width, stud extension and spacers (do i need them with the recomended wheel sizes), and tire size. any help is VERY much appericated and i am open to ANY other suggestions.

17x9 with 0 offset on the front and 17x10 +12 offset rear wth no spacers or longer wheel lugs needed. Unless you are running 4-lug still then forget about kid.

You're welcome!!

at least...

as for tires, i'd do 225/45 235/45 (for stretch) or 235/45 245/45

and ddgsxr504 is right about the 4 lug part, they dont carry that size in 4 lug. So I hope you have a 5 lug swap already.

Man... you guys and your rubber band sized tires..

If you go 225 Front 235 rear I would go 50 series not 45.

235mm is 9.25 inch, 245 is slighly wider, If you go 235 front I would do 255 rear (255= 10.01 inch) which is still a slight stretch. So is 235 up front for that matter.

Ya i have already got my 5 lug conversion and im lookin at the R32 brake set up from my nismo. The most that i want the wheels to stick out tho is an inch in the rear. thanks for all of the good info guys.

use a 225/40 and 235/40****ing measuring sucks compared to doing.anything bigger, it gets bouncy from the sidewall flex

How much inset/dish/concave-ness is the +12 gonna give me in the rear?

enough. The 10" ones are the one with concave. All others that are less dont have the concave. Theres only 2 faces, ones with concave, and ones w/o concave.

I see, thanks for the clarification.

Hmmm... Just got off the phone with 5Zigen and they said the lowest offset they make for the 17x9 is +15. so, does that i would just need to run that with a 15mm spacer in th front?

to make it +0.... yes

[Dhayes9]

So does that also mean extended studs?

[yokota180sx]

seach god damnit

every question you have asked has been answered in the last 2 weeksI know, i answered like damn near all of them

[Dhayes9]

I have seen tons of posts that say that extended studs are needed when using spacers yet i didnt see any specifics relative to a 15mm spacer coupled with the thickness of the FNO1 (which 5Zigen "doesnt know") which is why i am asking AFTER doing my research before even creating thisd thread.

[ddgsxr504]

Yes you will need longer wheel studs. Anything else?

[Dhayes9]

I think thats about all. Thanks for all the help guys.
