max wheel width f & r?

what would be the maximum wheel width on a s14 without any modifications to the fenders and camber?
are 8's in front and 9's in rear an easy fit?

I have an s14 with 8.5" front and 9.5" rear, so yes,it is possible without fender modification. I'm beginning to consider removing the plastic fender liners on the front though, as occasionally I'll slightly rub it at full lock.

I am warning you, you are probably gonna get flamed for this thread haha....

I have 9's all the way around....only rub up front when at full lock

Can even run 10's in rear probably, need ~+25 offset or so....need to roll fenders obviously

Hahaha

Okay so they are messing with you, but in all honesty, with stock fenders, and jsut a fender roll, you prolly can't go more than 10s maybe 10.5s, but I am not certain....I know I have 9s, and there is room inside for another inch or so

i searched but couldn't get a real solid answer for stock fender room, just fender mods and rolled quarterpanels.
so 8's in front and 9's in rear are an easy fit...i really don't want to roll my quarterpanels f*** my car up.

When I said you were messing, I just meant that you were saying that alot is possible if you are willing to do stuff

Plus, his original question was without fender mods or camber, so I just figured that was a little much for what he was looking for

There is mad room in there though

Haha true story....

You should go 10s up front just for fun..


If I could rebuy my wheels, I may have gone 17x10 in the back

Although...I really like the look of 17s on my car, and it sucks, bc you can't find any good tires sizes above 245 for 17s....

Above 245, they are all 40 series, which is too big for me, bc I want to keep the overall tires height correct

Need 275/35/17, but cant find 'em anywhere at all
