just wanted to know if 24.5x8.5 13's fit clear ek fenders?
thanks

 

I've seen them fit.....but most people say they rub when turning (I cant seem to find pix of any EG or EK) with those mounted!

 

Blown90hatch had 26's on his EK. In his vid they looked to clear fine but, I am unsure of the turning radius (although I'm sure it's limited).

I run them fine on my '99, I just can't lower it much. I can't turn as tight, but I can turn well enough to get around the drag strip. Mine stick way out, so I can't brake too hard or they will hit the fenders, but it's fine for the drag strip.

 

what size will work on my 00 Si? (rims and slicks)

 

i have 26 inch tall tires on my 97 coupe and when i turn hard the tires touch the front of the fender/bumper, and pulll the bumper down, and break the corner off... im on my 3rd bumper now, because of that ****.


ps. i have a spool, so i cant turn too hard...... the car dont have much "radius"

 

24.5x8.5x13 is very common and they fit well and clear the fenders. of course, the car cant be super dumped. if the car is raised all the way high, it can clear 25x8.7x13 as well

 

will the 13's fit over my stock Si brakes? I thought I had to run 15's maybe 14's

 

Here's a pic of 24.5x8.5x13 slicks on my car. They fit fine, but you can't run your car too low. I curently run 25x8.7x13's. They sometimes rub the fenders when I get on the brakes through the traps. The 13" rims used for slicks usually have the proper offset to clear bigger brakes. I run Volk 13x8 TE-37 Drags over GSR front brakes. There are a lot of 13" drag wheels that will clear SI/GSR brakes. Bogarts, Weld, Lenso, etc. Sometimes you'll need spacers though.
