A question for the wheel whores on the forum and anyone who has fitted rims of this size!
How much work is going to be needed to get these to fit on my S14??
I already have +30mm overfenders, the old arch has been cut and modified to suit.
Was thinking camber/stretch to get my desired look.
Cheers
Err, basically, not gonna happen, not without some serious custom work.
Even with +50's you're still going to be pushing it with those tvh. Narrowest you could fit on there would be circa a 265/275 I suspect, and 275 et -10 is, err, pushing it
Check Ken's V8 build for a guide as to the sort of thing you're going to need.
265 with some 3 degrees of camber will tuck them
all depends on the look your going for.
ken has had to do some serious arch work as iirc... he is running some big tyres. 305
whatever it takes, it'll be worth it. 12j et-10 is full of all sorts of win
I'm fitting 18 x 12 et 5 with a 315/30/18 Tyre, I've got 50mm wider rear fenders which have needed to be widened another 25mm, I reckon you'd have to go for a 265 profile and some fairly serious camber to get -10 ET 12 inch rims under 30mm overfenders and even then it'll be a struggle
iirc thats around the size stanton fitted to his awesome s14a,just look back through his thread for tyre sizes and alignment specs he used to get them fitted
Stanton had 50mm overfenders with 265 on ET-3 IIRC, so your looking at 7mm lower offset with 20mm less arch clearance than thisOriginally Posted by kingj

Edit, heres a pic,
these the vielsides on e gay? he also has 18x12 et-18
On +30's?265 with some 3 degrees of camber will tuck them
No, it won't
I know of a 14a, on stock rear arches, running 18 x 12" ET-4 on the rear with, wait for it, 255 tyres.
Pics or it didn't happen
How much camber?!
Gotta have a flare equivalent to Billy's old one - completely forgetting the Rim size, as that's not as important as tyre, a 255 on a -5 is a bit of an ask!
It's project Stupid MKII, isn't it
I know that car too mate, Its running massive camber at the moment but once the arch flares have finished that should be sorted outPics or it didn't happen

It's project Stupid MKII, isn't itits the tyres that make the fitment a piece of p1ss really
I need to see pics of these outlandish claims - Ken needs what is effectively a 75mm overfender to fit something thats 15mm narrower so unless you are running immense (and silly) camber you need extreme archwork.
They would fit on the back of my Z33 though, but in fairness thats had 80mm arch extensions too .......
I get the feeling that this would only work if we could pursuade Ernest Borgnine to drive the Isle of Wight to Portsmouth hovercraft.
Its got a lot of camber at the moment but thats something im sorting at the moment also my tyres are about 50mm slimmer than kens aswell
Looks a little like this at the moment
That looks sh!t.Looks a little like this at the moment
lol not mincing your words are you Si?
Ha ha its always going to split opinions but i like it so thats what matters
lol not mincing your words are you Si?
No point really
That's not stance - that's figure chasing for points. Totally lost sight of making a car sit well imho.
I'm all for stretch, and I'm all for flushness and tucking, but that just looks ott and cartoonish to my eyes. If that's the look the owner's going for, fair do's, but to me? Not right.
Aye, too much IMO. Good work getting it on there mind you.
Got any pics of thw whole car??
