S13 wheel offset question - Drifting forum

THICK SOUP · 20-02-2010, 19:35

I'm thinking about getting some wheels for my S13 & was hopeing someone could have a look at my sizes & tell my if I'm going to have any problems.

Fronts - 15 x 8 ET 0 with 195/45 or 50

Rears - 15 x 9 ET 0 with 195/45

I'm looking to pull the rear wheel arches to cover the wheels. I'm running DW coilovers so I can adjust the ride height to get it right.

So any input would be great.

Cheers

Stu

dont think you'll have much trouble with that fitment Stu, just make sure its decked on its arse and it'll look awesome

what wheels you found in 15x9 et00 ???

I'm going to get some Diamond Racing wheels priced up. Saw them in Hudson's (I think) for sale thread & fell in love. I don't want 16x10 though so I in going see how much to get some made.

id potentially go with 10j front and 11j rear, low as feck negative offset and get some jun style arches, recon it would look the dogs on your car

this sort of fitment

the fitment on them is 15x11 et-30 in the rear, 15x10 et-10 for the front, recon bout the same fitment would give similer results on an s13

if your gonna go to the trouble of importing some custom diamond racing wheels you may as well go the whole hog eh

jun type arches

do it, do it, do it

this might help a little

rear: 15x8 et-10, sticks out the standard arch by 20mm, i do have a fair bit of negative camber.

front: 15x7 et-2 on a standard arch.

roughly your looking at adding 0.5" extra poke

Thanks for that NORFY, I kinda used yours as a base/insperation then used a offset calculator to work out the dimensions for the wider wheels.

robbs - Don't give me ideas. I'd love to go with the wide wheels & the Jun style arches, I might get prices for the sizes you mentioned, but I'm really trying not to go mad. I've just bought all the parts, & some extras, to go stage 2, so just looking into some wheels to finish it off so I can stop spending money on the one & get on with the Z23.

dont think the price of the wheels will be hardly any different TBH and the arches are only £65

I'm just about to E-mail them, just got to work out the backspacing. I'll post up when they get back to me.
