can you guys post Pics of BBK's on G35 sedans and wheels that can clear it without spacers???

I have the akebono bbk and i needed 15mm spacers now I am rubbing on the front fenders... aka Need new wheels

 

What wheels and what specs? (suspension, tire, wheel everything)

Pull the screw out of the inside of the fender, it might be all you're rubbing on.

 

check my pics. my wheels clear my wilwoods w/ no spacers. i also have crappy offsets.

 

Oh no... I'm hitting the fender.... somewhat bent it a bit

 

How do you stretch the tires???

Perhaps I can fix my issue with that?

 

Im assuming its done by a tire shop, they basically fit a smaller tire(same diameter eg 19in) on a wider wheel stretching the walls to fit over where the tire needs to lock on the wheel if that makes sense.

 

Errrr... you sure its diameter and not width?

 

He said same diameter.

Why don't you tell me your wheels specs so I can help you before I give up.

So much bad terminology in this thread.

 

Because I am unaware of wheel specs at the moment been replying from my cell all day.

All I know...

Currently on htechs.

 

Also I read online that its width not diameter ... aka

If wheel is designed for 245 35 you'd go with 215 35 or ..... unsure though

 

Really how the **** do you think stretching the diameter would make sense?

Looking like you need to run a 225/35 tire then do the rest in fender work very easy to pull the extra couple mm outta the front fenders.

 

Grrr edit...

Just reread everything

 

Ok, so after seeing this thread on a pc and not a 3 inch screen. I've learned a bit more.

What I don't understand is the stretching effect. I can understand the fact that if a wheel is say 200mm and stretched to 245 mm it'll stretch the sidewalls.

But in mm to inch
8.5 inch [international, U.S.] = 215.9 millimeter

So even if I were to get 215 - 35 or any other variant in 215's How would I "stretch" the tire? ... I mean damn, the tire would have to be 205's ...

OR

Am I missing something here?

 

Ok I'll explain this to your briefly.

I'll use my wheels as a quick example

My rear wheel is an 18x11, the recommend tire size for an 18x11 wheel is between 285/35/18 and 305/35/18

I mounted a 255/35/18 so that the tread will pull away from the bead *bead being the location in which the tire will seat itself and "grab" the wheel to seal and hold air.

SOO technically, the width of an 11" wheel in MM is 275mm when you stretch a 255 onto that wheel you are stretch the tire by 10mm each way (20mm total) this causes more clear straight up and down from the lip of the wheel. That is what will help you clear your fender.

This is a 215/35/18 on a 9.5" wheel



This is a 245/35/18 on a 9.5" wheel, same width of wheel but see the tire is not pulled away from the edge of the lip.



But yea you're on the right track, anything smaller than a 9" wide wheel is only ever going to see a very mild stretch.

 

I can understand that much, but what boggles me a bit is the fact that

Firstly i don't know **** about tires/wheels.


Second off,

I have a 8.5inch wheel so to get this effect:



I'd need to go with a smaller width other than 215?
