18x10's on a s14a (needs work w/NEW PICS)

new wheels showed up, not very good pic

Looks sick. What rubber you wrappin em in?

^^^ thankz, working on the tire fitment.

Looks sweet Nate. Gonna be insane once the tires are on and ready to roll.

baller! should look good and flush! the silver also looks really good on your car.

those look sweet Nate!!!!!

holy shit! that thing is SICK! wow nice job nate!!!

looks awesome dude!!!

Baller-ific!

thanks everyone, hopefully things work out with the tire clearing might have to do some more rolling and maybe a slight pull.

nate when you get a chance post up the full specs of your old setup and then your new one and I will start figuring out what will work for you!

rim width
offset
tire sizes
camber (you have camber plates in the front right? any adjustability in the rear?)

if it doesn't require a little bit of work then the fitment must have been too weak to begin with! looks like you are on the right track!

old:
18x8.5 et35 w/(15mm spacer in front and 20mm in rear)
215/40
front camber plates max out, stock rear arm and non-adjustable camber plates in rear

new:
18x10 et25 w/(15mm spacer in front and 20mm in rear) need 15mm in front to clear z32 brakes
same camber

im thinking 225/40 or 225/35 in the front and 235/40 for the rear what do you think bone

Nate,
from everything I looked at your tire sizes you are suggesting look good. The only question will really be how well the tires stretch and what the guy's at the shop think about it!

I would stick with the lowest sidewall possiable. Once you get the tires I think you will be able to find a happy medium between ride height and fender rolling that keeps things looking clean and not rubbing.

Jason ran 245's with a +12 offset, so you will be at +10 and +5 with smaller tires so in theory it sounds good to me!

looks pretty sick. now just get some rubber and get it rolling on the street so we can see it in person.

Make sure you get some tires before the cold hits so I can go for a ride.

^^^ i'll try my best lack of funds right now mikester

I'm rolling these same wheels on my miata right now. Gotta love them! 16x8<18x10 though haha. Can't wait to see them wrapped in some rubber and mounted up!

so are you saying i should 225/35 in the front and 235/35 in rear are do you think the 40 series will work instead

40 series should be ok but the 35 would be easier to fit. I had 245/40/18's with a +12 offset so a 235 should work great. I can always help ya roll the fenders if ya need.

I love you... Lol nicely done

I think you will be happier with the look of the 35 series if you can get them. I know that 35 series is usually harder to find.

Damn..... Those wheels look so sick. I can't wait to you see rollin around town on those.

i think i'll go w/ the 40 seires and fab it to fit, but i might need you sprock men to help do some pullin
ever heard of the phonebook method???

just order the tires online should be there friday or early next week

Let me know if ya need help getting everything to fit.

^^^ thanks jason, i will let you know when everything is on the car btw where do you think would be the best place to mount the tire?

I would go with mounting the tire on the rim...anywhere else on the car might look funny and wouldn't be very effective! (jk) Love those rims - should look great on your car.

we always use rod at expert tire... start there and if they don't do stretched tires keep trying someone on the forum ought to be able to hook you up and get it done.

needz work, but for now

Dang Nate, looks sweet. Sorry I missed your call earlier. Give me a call Monday if you need the fender roller. I have a friend using it the end of next week but I can help ya out earlier in the week. Those look sweet, makes me wanna sell my wheels and get some VS-XX's or CCW's.

holy shit your crazy man. looks good but your still crazy. i just couldn't put a lip out there like that. for me id always be worried about curbing them. thats probably why i went with a 11 inch tire on a 9.5 wheels gives me a little room to play.

who did you have mount up the other three.

it all good man, but it is so close to driveable it's nutz so i'm going to need your HELP rolling the rears for sure

Nate you are nuts. How the hell you going to turn? HA HA HA.

purely awesome! The fitment came out crazier than I was expecting but it looks sick!

Baller!

No problem we can get it all worked out. Just give me a call.

That is a crazy ass strech. Don't run ovr a rock or anything you may un bead a tire.

wow man that is crazy, i worked at tire rama for a year and a haf and never saw stuff like that, good luck hope it all goes well

what's the point of stretching it like that

Making it fit! But it also offers a stiffer sidewall as long as its not overdone, resulting in more consistent turn in. The look started with European cars a long time ago that wanted wide concave wheels, or big lips but couldn't fit the tires to match. Its been a very popular thing along many rwd Japanese cars for a while now.

For overall performance a wider tire is still beneficial, but its a matter of fitment and owners preference.

thanks guys, should have thingz figured out soon with the rubbing issues. then i will have some rolling shoots for ya! stay tuned crew

+5 on more pics!

i know its sucks when it comes to tires but ever considered more camber?

^^^ my fronts are maxed on the camber plates and the rears have too much neg. camber, any more just would wear the tires on the inside. more neg. camber = wider tire

looks sick Mr. Jackson!!

yeah i know all about how it wears on tires. i had 3 degrees in the rear on my car and it wore out my tires fast. i just suggested it cause i know i have seen a lot of 240's that have ridiculous camber set ups.

Camber won't wear tires out faster, just uneven. Toe will kill tires though. I ran 3 Degree's on the front of my 240 for years with no problems.

^^^need your help homeboy, shit to FREEZIN COLD right now
