Widest front wheels on stock fenders?

[d k]

Whats up guys?

Just curious what are the widest wheels you can get up front on stock S14 fenders rolled and pulled?

Planning on running about -2.5 - -3.5 camber.

Will probably be better equipt to answer your question. After you search of course.

And in the spirit of helping, I run a 17x9 with +14 offset in the front of my S13 with no issues, no rolling and no crazy camber. So at the very least you can run that size as, to my understanding, an S14 has a bit more space.Also running that much negative camber up front really is not neccessary with the proper tire size and wheel offset. Unless you really like buying tires.

My rears fit the fronts just fine 9.5 +18 with 255s I could go wider with a spacer I suppose

Ok, thats what I was really looking for. I have searched of course...

Anyway, I only run that much camber because of tracking the car.

So running the 9.5's in the front and going wider with a spacer, is it feasible to be able to run a 10" wheel in the front??? ($1,000,000 question).

My question is why do need 10' wide front tires on your 240? Are you running some sort of AWD system?

Larger tires and rims result in more parisitic drag and it robs power from your car.

Also if you run 10' wide stock (rolled and pulled) front fenders then you will only pull it off by useing smaller and smaller rubber. A 9.5 with 255 will work but 10 will need 245 and this will decrease your rubber contact patch therefore decreasing potential traction.

Any one else feel this way or am I the only one?

why won't the 255's work with the 10" rim? I am hoping to get 265's in the front but that might be pushing it... so if I can get 255's with the 10", then I would be content...you're right about parasitic drag, but I have enough power to make up for it... just need max front grip and also part of the time the car will be on slicks, so the only ones available are 265 width. Hoping I won't have to go with over fenders *if I dont have to*Search is pretty much useless for some reason....Thank you though.

I've seen people run 275 on a 10 inch rim with a pull... it was a pretty serious one though. I agree, if you have enough power you loose front wheel grip from the lift... I think aceinhole wanted to run 315s so you're not too far off

Thats because no one answers or asks these silly questions.

But yea why exactly do you need 10' wheels?This time I am not trying to be a duoche.

I would love to find out your motive
