Go on zilvia and enter my thread called “maximum rubber fitment” in chat.
Basically 245/40/17 on 17x9 with stock unbent/unrolled fenders… 255/40/17 on 17x9 with a bit of pulling/rolling. I’m running 255/40/17 17x9.5+18 all around… front needs pull, rear needs pull/roll… you’ll poop your front fenders most likely and will need to run at least -3 front and about -2 rear. In the rear you could go with a higher offset but the front no go…
With 18s… it becomes even more of an issue of the rim touching the spring/coilover… but… 255/35/18 should be balling… it takes alot more effort to fit larger tires on the front of an s13… height wise and inner/outer clearance wise… s14 front is ridiculously easier to work with… you will have to get rid of your fender liner crap btw, will need to tighten harness upwards or relocate… and for your own benefit should flatten fender front and rear so it doesn’t rape your tire… quite possibly may wana bang up some of the seams on the firewall and bellow strut tower that may poke your tire… always test full rotation… and take into consideration that the car will compress on bumps and the tire will go in and probably hit/rub on something.
Eh quick question! About what u said: “Basically 245/40/17 on 17x9 with stock unbent/unrolled fenders”
