Done a lot of searching and there is endless info on perfect wheel sizing for a s13/ps13 with a “slight roll of the arches” or “extended wings”. What I’d like to try find out is what the perfect wheel fitment is for a completely standard s13/ps13 arch wise. I do not want to roll any arch lips, extend or replace any arches or basically touch the car body at all. Just bone stock unrolled arches as they’d be from factory. anyone have experience on the best sizing and offsets? Car is on coilovers but not slammed, just a decent useable ride height. Not looking to be the next stance king, just a nice looking useable fast road car stance and fitment.
Be aware that alot of people will have run massively stretched tyres, loads of camber or just put up with excess rubbing to claim their tyre 'fits'. So are you wanting a wheel that fits enough for you to drive to the end of the road? or one that can make a hot lap on a track?
Car isn’t used for drifting or track. I would like something very useable and practical for the uk roads with no rubbing. Car is really only used as a weekend car
17x9 et12 is a very common fitment I have 17x9.5 et18 on a 205/45 both front a rear. About 3 degrees of camber on the rear with no roll. You can probably fit a 245 if you are a decent height. Here are a bunch of fitments https://zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=392494 they also have some maximum rubber and flush fit thread
hey mate go for 17x8/9 and thats will be fine with arches if you really want a nice set rims i have for sell volk rays 17x8/9 et40 check this out if you want it https://www.driftworks.com/forum/threads/volk-rays-2piece-rims.285246/
17x9 et25 is the most common fitment for a s-chassis for nice fitment, if you want aggressive later on, 17x9.5 et12 with rolled arch's and slight camber
17x9 all around will fit without rolled arch lips? I’ve seen some 17x9 et22 wheels, would these also fit no problems?
I’m thinking maybe play it safe and use 16’s as so much varied opinions on what fits from what I’ve been reading online :/
ive got 9.5s all round with rolled arches 215 front, 235 rear tyre so id say a 9 all round with 215/40s should be alright
yeah sorry 17s my set up is 17x9.5 +12 all round 215/40 & 235/40 so a less aggressive offset like a +25 with a 215 on a 9 should be mint
215 tyre is quite a stretch on a 9 or 9.5J wheel. Fine if you want scene points, but I wouldn't say it's fully practical on our fucked up roads. {}
I’ve seen some enkei rpf01 in 17x9 et22 all around. Any ideas on if they’d fit without any arch lip rolling
{} {} 17x8 et 13 on the rear, et20 on the front with a 3mm spacer to clear the front brakes, arches unrolled and clears by a few mm, fronts could go wider, 205 45 rear 215 45 front, rear has at least 1-2 degrees of camber. I do have better closeups of the arches compressed somewhere if you need them, it’s pretty close and has some poke, perfect imo
