wheel/tire fitment pic thread
 

There are probably threads on here about wheel and tire fitment when it comes to how they fit the car, but I wanted to start this thread so people could post pics of their wheel and tire combo so you can see how much the tire stretches, bulges, or fits perfectly.

If you choose to post pics of how they fit the car too, please remember to post if you have stock fenders, rolled, flared, aftermarket widebody, or whatever. It also wouldn't be a bad idea to post camber info as well, and maybe suspension (for reference as far as clearance between wheel and coilover, etc.). And if you've had several setups over the years, please post them up.

The reason I wanted to do this is because I'm currently looking for new tires to fit new wheels and I'd like them to sit perfectly, not bulged and not stretched, and I know tire companies rate their sizes differently than other companies, and most likely the same with wheels. So here goes...

My first setup...
Wheels- Enkei RPF1
Sizes/offsets- 18x9.5 +45 F, 18x10 +38 R
Tires- Dunlop SP Sport FM901 (not sold anymore but I figured new Dunlops might be the same)
Sizes- 235/40-18 F, 265/35-18 R
Optional info- Rolled fenders, no idea on camber, STANCE coilovers

Notes on this fitment...anorexic tires on these wheels. Quite a bit of room, no rubbing IIRC. I rolled the fenders anticipating not having a lot of room but there was quite a bit actually.

My second setup...
Wheels- Enkei RPF1
Sizes/offsets- 18x10 +38 F, 18x10.5 +15 R
Tires- Dunlop SP Sport FM901 F, Sumitomo HTRZ III R
Sizes- 265/35-18 F, 295/30-18 R
Optional info- Flared rear fenders, tried to flare fronts but unsuccessful, still no idea on camber (same as before, probably close to stock), STANCE coilovers

Notes on this setup...still anorexic on the front, thank goodness because I needed them to be stretched since I couldn't flare the fender. The rear tires fit 10.5" perfectly! I don't remember much rubbing on the front, maybe a little, but not much on the rear surprisingly.

My third and current setup...
Wheels- Enkei RPF1
Sizes/offsets- 18x10 +38 F, 18x10.5 +15 R
Tires- Nitto NT555RII
Sizes- 285/35-18 F, 305/35-18 R
Optional info- Flared the rear fenders a hell of a lot more (probably about 2 inches past stock at this point), camber I believe is about -1.5* front and -1* rear, but I don't remember for sure, STANCE coilovers still.

Notes on this setup...these tires, I feel, are way too tall. The 285/35 fits the 10" pretty well width-wise, but it's just too tall. And the 305/35 bulges out a bit on the 10.5, which would be OK if, again, the tire wasn't too tall. I can't tell if there is rubbing when I'm driving it, but when I'm stopped there is tire residue on the rear fenders where the end of the lip (flare) ends on the stock fender. I believe there is rubbing on the front fenders too but I can't tell for sure. I DO know that the tires rub the frame in front of the wheel on one side, driver's side IIRC. I was thinking about just putting a spacer on there and see what happens but decided to just get smaller tires, and since I wanted a new set of wheels anyway that I'd just get new wheels too haha. I have some Shine 20+ wide front fenders but I haven't put them on yet. I've test fit them and this front setup leaves about 5-10mm of clearance.

Damn Johnson, I knew I should've rocked the 255/275 combo on my 17x8 17x9 Works. The 235/255 combo is just not working for me, the tires look too narrow for the rims.

Looks fucking awesome

pffft, admit you love the stretch look you ricer!:party:

Lets not see any stretched tires please! Using a 225/35-17 on a 17x12 wheel looks like shit. I see this all too much on the other forums.

:icon_tup:

thank God I'm not the only one that hates that faggy fad. The one posted above barely qualifies as a stretched tire since is not noticeable ( I guess I've seen BAD stretched setups)....i see no stretch fad ITT.

I don't know why ppl like to do the "aggressive fitment/fat lip" but the wheels don't fit the car without rubbing on the suspension, fender or requiring retarded camber as a band-aid.

Macz and Josh are going Wide with their setups but they're doing it right!! Good posts and pics so far.

I know I need new tires and coilovers...no $$ for them quite yet :(

If I go into a corner hard enough, you'll see my tires "stretch", lol.

Exhibit A:

I just would rather see wheels & tires that fit they were meant to, but if some feels the need to follow that trend then oh well it's thier car. I need to get new pics, but here are some of mine.

I FORGOT YOU HAD THE MARIAH WIDEBODY!!! :hurray:

Do you have specs on your setup RotorDad? I assume the rears are 335 LOL. Looks mean!!

My setup is by no means aggressive, but I suppose it's still somewhat useful information.

Wheels- Enkei RPF1
Sizes/offsets- 16x8 +32 F/R
Tires- Toyo T1-R
Sizes- 225/50R16 F/R
Optional info- Unmolested fenders, Stance GR+ Coilovers, AWR Rear Adjustable Camber Links, Camber bolts on front struts, -1.5 deg camber F/R, 0 toe F/R

The tires are a little stretched, but I was worried about trying to fit 245/45R16's. With camber plates and bolts in the front there is literally 1/8" of space between the tire and spring perch and it's damn near flush with the fender. I will try the 245's next, at least in the rear where there is plenty of space, but I want a square setup. I'm am a little worried about the fronts, but the overall tire width should not change.

The rear camber is not ideal (-1 would be nice) but I've pretty much max'd out the camber adjustment on the passenger's side. I plan on adding an adjustable lateral link to dial out most of the initial negative camber then use the camber links to make the sides equal. With this I'd like to lower the rear another 0.25".

Sorry for the large pictures...

Woops sorry forgot to put the specs up. I don't remember the offsets off hand, I would have to pull the wheel to see. BTW thanks man.
Wheels : Simmons of Australia "Altas"
Size: 17"x10.5" front & 17"x12" rear
Tires: Kuhmo Ecsta V700's
Size: 275/40-17 front & 335/35-17 rear
Suspension: Tokico Illuminas, RB front end lowering kit, Eibach's on coilover sleeves ect. Pretty simple here front end needs to be lowered, but I have it up to get on to ramps & a trailer for now.

Yeah I have what alot of guys on the other forum say is ugly LOL. One guy actually said my car made him want to puke. :rofl: They don't seem to appreciate the work involved oh well.

to them if it doesn't stretch the tires, it's not the GP sports kit/knock-off, doesn't have useless camber or 1/4" off the ground then it's not cool at all. :rofl: :banghead:

It doesn't have to be aggressive, and believe it or not, you probably are helping or will end up helping someone decide on a setup for their own vehicle by posting your info, so thank you! That's why I wanted this thread.

Funny that you said that, because I told them the same thing.

oh look! ^ you can see my rim. streched tires all siiiiick

http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...265_picnik.jpg

ok im done whoring :)

hm, how big are those front fenders? 30mm?

Here's the setup on my FC

Rims: Fast FC01's 17"X8" + 40 on all 4 corners.
Tires: Sumitomo HTRZIII
225/45R17's up front
255/40R17's in the rear.
Stock everything with baseball bat rolled front fenders.

Unfortunately I don't think I have any pics with those tires on the rims. I do have pics though with crappy 215/50R17's on. They looked terrible on the rims though... The new tires look WAY better.

corksport fronts are ~30ish. its kinda hard to measure something like that.
shine fenders are only 20, dont believe their lies lol

Did the Shine fenders run wider than 20 or not as wide?

They advertise 30, but are actually 20

Old thread is old. Anyone know if this is still true or if they actually stepped up to +30? Trying to figure out what I'd need to fit a 255/40R17 on 17x9 +22 or a 275/40R17 on 17x9.5 +18. I know front fenders are required but trying to figure out if the Shine fenders would be enough and if I'd need rear over fenders as well. The deltas are something like +30 outward and -2 inward over my current setup (225/50R16 on 16x8 +32 running -1 deg of camber all around).
