so I am supposed to be impressed...... I never said 9.5J was wide and I have a 275/40/17 with no camber, I can fit a 12J on my car right now and I have the power to spin them with no problem..............I have nothing to prove just gave an opinion like you and you can fit any size rim on any car with the right offset As of now with no camber 8J is as big as you are going on a S13.

Dumb ***.
When did I imply that my stock rims were better? I say they're too small and not wide enough because there are very close to stock specs, minus the offset.

So with that statement you have nothing to prove, sure.

Drag racing S Chassis = Fail.

Been Doing is for 13 years with no problem but you just like to argue so nothing I say will sound like a statement....

Fastone that pic of the 13 has some serious camber.. Read my post I clearly said with the right offset and the rim will fit.

But to fit his 17X9 +15 he had to 1. Run Some NEG camber 2. Roll the lip. This is what I know not what I have seen.

I am not here to argue if you don't like what I have to say then don't listen I was merely giving an opinion I have been racing, drifitng, and building these cars for 13 years.

And Levi if want to argue just go to drag240sx.com and make a post with the title Drag racing +S chassis = fail and then you will learn something.

Okay... it sounds like sichigo is the most knowledgeble on the subject on what will/wont fit under a 240... with that being said... what all go into pulling or rolling your fenders? Also, will a 17x9 +20 offset fit under the s13 without any major camber or pulling?

Yes Fastone is right 17x9 +15 and the +20 you want will fit just roll the lip flat as possible. What I did to fit my 17X9 +15 (Old S13) was bang the lip flat as gently as possible to minimize the paint chipping (IT WILL MOST LIKELY CHIP) use my hand on the outside of the fender and a small 5lb hammer on the inside and tap it ever so gentle like happy gilmore tap. until it starts to bend in but you don't want to bend it all the way at first you want to get the rest of it bent down and then start over and tap somemore just keeps the paint from chipping as much.

I have some pics of the actual rolling if you want to see them.

my aim is silviasichigo.

cool...so to "roll" your fenders you just roll in that part of the fender that goes toward the wheel well, not the actual ouside body edge of the fender? COOL! easy as hell.. a good rubber hammer would do te job without chipping it too much huh?

Oh thats right i forgot that the 16 sets of wheels i have been through, mean that i dont know **** on fitment.

I dont like to argue. All these pussies want wide wheels but dont want to do what is necessary to make it happen. I just like to point out the facts that you are NOT limited to what you can fit on these cars. You could of been dancing for 13 years for all i care.

Sure you can do over fender, but not unless you wanna paint your car.

Im tired of seexn stupid threads where joe shmoe wants 18x10J +15 all around but doesnt not want to roll or pull.

not to be an ***, because i agree on your wheel fitment/advice most of the time... but just cause you had 16 different wheels doesnt mean you know about fitment, you also have 1780 posts, doesnt mean anything except for the fact that you can type.

btw... the lip on those wheels isnt very "phat"

True a million posts means **** and having 16 set of wheels do little different.

Oh well, only the people that know me, have seen the damage i can do.

Alas, offtopic.

Done.
