240 wheel/tire size questions

[Ryno]

Maybe some of the local 240 owners can help me out. I have searched the 240 forums and got completely different answers on all of them. What it the widest tire you can fit front and rear with Tein coilovers lowered about 2 inches without rubbing and without rolling the fenders? It is on '90 s13 hatch.

Also, what is the optimal size for wheels for the front and rear for the widest tires?

Lastly, what offset is recommend for the wheels?

The car will be mostly a street car but may see some drifting and road racing if that helps.

I need to get some 4 lug wheels asap so any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Ryno

but for some first hand experance. i have stock Z32 TT rears on my 93 coupe, with 245 45 16 and they are flush with fender and about an inch i think on the inside from the coil overs. so maybe 275 max..

i currently have some "get" skyline rear coil overs i picked up from Jhot for $10 on the rear. and some kts sitting in the corner waiting for me to get the subframe dropped and freshened up b4 i put them and the Z32 spendels and brakes on.

sorry it dosn't help much, but it gives you an idea.

Did you ever decide on what wheels you where going to use?

I really like these



fronts r 17x7 25+ and rear is 17x9 35+

[Ryno]

No, not yet. What kind of wheels are those, I can't tell.

Also, I am cheap ass so I am trying to see if I can just find a nice used set on one of the boards.

cheap, and wide/low-offset aren't in the same category my friend

[chnco]

those looks like Gram Lights

[CMO]

Yeah those are Gram Lights, how cheap is cheap? You can get some in a nice offset for around $800 4 lug too.

[Ryno]

I'll spend about a $1000 but I am not one of those people to buy wheels that are worth more than the car.

Does anyone have hookups on Volk Gram lights....Allen, Jimmy, Matt?

[CMO]

let me look I think I have a site where you can get the gram lights for around $1200 with tires.

[Ryno]

sounds good, let me know.

Thanks,
