Suspension question..

[rowdogg03]

I have problem with with my S14.. I had Sportmax 9.5R and 8.5F with 245 and 225 and tokico shocks.. I just upgraded to Megan tracks coils and when putting them in the fronts definately dont clear the coils. I had a few 5mm spacers around so I put on one, and still rubs. Then I put on both on one side so 10mm and now the studs have no threads to catch. They clear now and are pretty flush, but I cannot put the damn wheel on.. I could catch a few threads but only would turn like barely 1 time. So is my only option to get longer wheel studs? Or should I look for like a 7mm spacer..? I need help please.. thanks in advance

Mess with your alignment.

Or.

Longer wheel studs.


P.S.
Do you have any other footwork other then wheels and coilovers?

I've got a set of S14 60mm studs (thought they were the same spline size for s13 and s14, they're not), 10 of em in a package (enough for the front). That's your best option, don't strip your studs. Do the backs fit?

I'll be in Orange County today and tomorrow, pm me and we'll meet up.

i say you should just get the longer wheels studs. arp isn't that expensive anyway. then maybe order some 7mm-10mm spacers, i dont know if its right to stack spacers, correct me if i'm wrong.

Yea I guess Ill just have to get the studs, thats probably the safest way.. So my new question is with a 10mm spacer what studs should I get? I know Nismo makes 50mm and 60mm and I dont want to buy all new lugs.. so anyone have any experience with this?

ps. no nothing I dont have any other suspension, just tanabe sways..

get a bolt on spacer from Kics

[TEALSQUEAL]

get arp studs the nismo ones are stock strength but longer while the arp's are a stupid amount higher and much better quality

[roboticnissan]

longer studs is the best way to go here i wouldnt mess with stacking up spacers

^^^ agreed. Check out Ichiba or Max also. Or get extended studs. Either way it's better to be safe than sorry.

I think the smallest they have as far as bolt on goes is 15mm... and even with that, I doubt the sportmaxs has that inner stud clearance (could be wrong).

just go with extended studs. I have peak performance, and theyre not that bad in price and quality.

or just sell your rims and get some baller ones with an offset that doesnt rub. I had 8.5 +33 in the front w/ coilovers and i had maybe 10mm clearence.

Well just ordered the Nismo 60mm.. thanks for your help guys
