Second question

[rocksteady_racer]

Ok well I got a set of 17x8 rims for the front of my 240. I have aftermarket ichiba front and rear hubs and 300zx brakes on. I tried driving with them on just around the parking lot (brakes still being a problem, see first question lol) and they rub like crazy. So should I just get a set of spacers or some smaller tires or do I need to get some new coilovers so they'll fit ok? Size: 17x8 +32 Offset with 245/45 Tires. So any help would greatly appreciated, thanks in advance again.

What is your current suspension setup? 245s are way chunky for the front even if you had coilovers, if you wanan force these to fit, you will need a spacer 10mm and up.

Ok currently, I have stock suspension now but, I was planning on putting some tein d-spec coilovers. And currently I have a set of 235/40ZR17 Kumho Ecstas from tire rack I was going to put on if I they'll fix the problem. If not I'm just going to send them back and get a set for the back rims cause they're really bad in the back. And get a set of spacers. So will that work?

Offset?

No one can help you if you don't fully detail your setup.

As he edited, it wasn't there last night.

bump - could we stop arguing and help with my rubbing here LOL

[rocksteady_racer]

If I get spacers what size should I get to make these fit, and how big would be too big on an ichiba hub with the stock ichiba studs? Any body running a similiar setup that can help me out would be greatly appreciated.

get spacers with studs pressed into them

as for how big...
go to car. jack up corner. measure how much clearance you need. we can't do that over the net... haha.

[rocksteady_racer]

How do I measure the clearance? Sorry a newb to this whole rim fitment thing LoL.

[GSXRJJordan]

distance from outside edge of the tire to inside edge of the fender would be how much clearance you have (without rolling the fenders first)... I'd guesstimate 10mm spacers should be ok. Problem is, you'll need extended studs to run 10mm. See why people bitch about wheels with correct fitment?

[aznpoopy]

unbolt the wheel, move it out until it doesn't rub, then measure with a tape ruler or something

whatever you get, round it up to the following numbers and that's the size spacer you need. they mainly come in 10mm 15mm 20mm and 25mm. for 15mm and above you can get the spacers with studs, negating the need for extended studs. not sure if they make 10mm with the studs.

if you're confused on metric (mm) vs. standard (inches) you can use google to do conversions.

for outer clearance measure outer as listed above. outer clearance is important because the fender doesn't like rubbing against the tire. if you space it out and it rubs, you can roll the fenders to gain additional clearance.

[rocksteady_racer]

These should be ok then: http://www.ichibausa.com/15alwhsp2.html ? Well I'll measure to make sure, do you have to get those studs pressed in or is there a way your supposed to attach them?

here's a pic of my set up that could help you pick a offset for your wheels

The stock suspension spring is huge, that's probably why the tire is having such a hard time fitting. So definately getting some tein drift spec coilovers, I got some 15mm spacers coming in with studs, and putting a 235/40 on and they should solve all my problems well besides the goofy looking tire sticking out LoL

[rocksteady_racer]

I got a set of H&R Spacers 15mm with extended studs. I had the studs pressed in at a local shop. I also put the tires I got from tire rack on the front on my buddy club p1 rims - 235/40. Everything fit perfect. No problems at all. So thanks for all your help :)
