Would i have problems fitting these rims?

[Future_gohan]

My car is lowered about 4in, maybe 3 1/2? I wanna put 18in axis rims on it. I"m waiting for my 5lug hubs to come in, but anyway.

The fronts are 18x8.5 +8 wrapped in 255 35 18's and the rears are 18x9 +12 245 45 18's.

Will i have problems with this rim and tire setup on my 240sx? will i need spacers in the front to turn fully etc? I know i'll have to tuck my harness in the fenders..

ummm why are you putting the wider tire on the skinnier wheel?

IMO I would put 225 on the 8" and 235's on the 9" but that's me.

Other wise yea that should fit but you will have to roll your fenders in the rear.

I had really s***ty camber on the fronts, and so my 225's wore to s***, and at the time all i could get were 255's. honestly i like the setup the way it is.

i figured i'd have to roll my fenders..which i'll end up using a hammer on. -_-;

So, your putting the wider tire on the skinnier rim in the front? Uh, that wouldnt be smart. If you are worried about fitment, then you definately want to start off on the right foot and put the wider in the rear. 255 in the front with a 3 - 4 inch drop???? I wonder why no one has posted to this. Your theory doesnt make sense.

My rims are currently on my nissan 300zx. So the fitment and tires are on there for the way i have it setup. I can change the tires around anytime but for now i'd like to keep them the same..

[Future_gohan]

And its a wider rim but its also a smaller side wall. so it looks smaller.

[Future_gohan]

just find someone with a fender roller..... i heard its really easy in fact.. someone asked my brother to borrow his and he said, only if you roll the fenders on my bro's 240 first.... (the kid had never touched on before) and he did perfect...

give it a shot! dont let other people hate on your wheel brand/design choice either man... its good to be different... conformity sucks!

Keep on Rockin!

Oh, however im running 225 in the front and 245's in the back.. witha 2 1/2 or so drop... and its pretty tight with rolled fenders... i'd just find someone with those size wheels and see how they fit before making the buy.

I already own the rims, and the tires, and the 5 lug hubs. I just haven't done it yet.

Idk, I guess i'll find out next week i hope.

[joshpaulminer]

take pics man i really want to see how this turns out... im crossing my fingers in your favor

[Future_gohan]

Well I'm trying to get everything figured out first I need to mount tires on my stock z32 wheels and take my axis rims of the z32. then i'll be doing the swap.

I'll be using Ichiba in the front and s14 in the rears.

Wouldnt it be cool if NICO had a section for questions like this one? Regarding wheels. tires, & suspension?
