Tire Clearance, What's the biggest tire i can fit?
I'm selling my other car '03 SpecV, but i'm keeping the Volks i have on it, however it has 225/45-17 on all 4, can i clear those up front w/ just shocks/springs (as in not coilovers) ? I heard unless u have coilovers u can't clear anything more than a 40-series tire up front, otherwise u'll rub, is that true?
Thanks,
Jay

wheels specs ususally help.
anything bigger than 225 front on S13 with out proper wheels wont fit and looks gay.

No matter how wide or what offsets he has it still could have a problem with hitting the spring perch with out coilovers.

Wheel with lower offset means that he wheel will be outwards of the car so maybe since he has 225/45 that he could fit a 235/40 the aspect ratio does not diff that much between the 2.
He could hit the perch if he got a tire with a larger sidewall. But everything below the perch is static, well except the tire that compresses and what not.
What you said seemed a tad uneducated.

This argument is ridiculous. Obviously we both read the questoin differently. So we had two diffrent answers.
