The "Will it fit?" thread

The width creates a variance in how side wall height is represented as a number.

I'm sure others know lots more and will chime in.

But, a 265 35 will have a similar sidewall height as a 305 30.

Like play around at http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp

You'll see, for example, if you want 265 and 305 to have a sidewall that looks matched, you gotta go 35 and 30 respectively.

Really close. Total diameter will be 26" F and 25.8" R so there will be a minor difference I think but not noticeable.

Also I think stock diameter is approx 26.6", so just something to note.

So running thru the different numbers I could run
305/30 255/35
295/30 255/35
285/30 265/35

And pretty much have a 26" diameter wheel give or take a few mm

Need help... I should be picking up these wheels this week

Front 19x9 +15
Rear 19x10.5 +20

What size spacers do I need to make the wheel sit flush? Do I need them on the front and rear? Also what brand is best and where can I get some?

I would also need to extend the studs right? Where do I get those and how do I know what ones to order?

Thanks!

Your fronts will poke out of the fender some. If you want to match the aggressive front with poke on the rears then a 15-20mm spacer on the rear will get you there. For flush a 10mm spacer. What are your rear camber settings at? For flush up front, you will need camber to make it flush, not spacers.

How much will the front poke out? I don't want it sticking out a bunch. I do not know the camber specs... Whatever came stock?

Compared to stock sport wheels, the new wheels will stick out 1.3" farther towards the fender on front so you'll probably be about 5-8mm out of the fender. Possibly a little more at stock camber settings.

Kayzee · 04-15-2013, 02:24 PM

A little input please:

20x10 +15 front
20x11 +15 rear

Lowered 1" (swifts)

What tire size and camber am I looking at?

Currently thinking:

245/30/20 front
275/35/20 rear

Or will it be necessary to drop down to 235 to avoid excessive camber and rubbing in the front?

Edit: I am absolutely ready to roll the fender, but want to avoid having to pull at all costs (more camber)

So to match the front the rear needs what's size spacer do you think?

Varrstoen ES222 19x9.5 F / 19x10.5 R
Offsets?
I hear that a +22 upfront has clearance issues

KaienZ34 · 04-22-2013, 07:55 PM

No +22 will fit with zero problems.

nissanlove · 04-22-2013, 08:08 PM

I forgot to mention I'm lowered on swift springs
