Hey everyone,
I'm currently in process buying my buddy's 96 240sx. I used to own 95 240sx se back in 2003, ended up selling it and got 2005 Acura TSX. I'm trying to get back into it.
I'm planning on buying JIC Magic coilovers, and 18" Work Meister s1.
Now, here is my question:
I wanted to pull my fenders so that I can run more aggressive setup, but it's going to cost way too much so just planning on rolling it. With this, is it too much to run 18x9.5 +15 18x10.5 +20 with 235/35/18 245 or 245/35/18?
My friend recommend that I should run 18x9 +20 18x10 +30 235/35/18 245/35/18, but with this setup, I'm afraid that it's going to be tucked in. I don't my wheels to be tucked in.
What do you guys recommend?
edit: He is also throwing 97 front end conversion parts. Version select front bumper with b-magic fenders... if that helps.
Thanks,

How is pulling fenders "way too much"
It's not your wheel set up you need help with, it's your searching skills.
Refer to the wheel fitment thread.
Kill your friend as well.

Believe me, I done my researching. This is why I made this thread, if I knew what I was doing why would I even bother to post it up?
$800 isn't some pocket change.
You aren't really helping here, got nothing better to say then stay out.

why would you need $800 just to "pull" your fenders
pulling takes the same materials as a roll
just spend $150 on a decent fender roller, and a heat gun. there's instructions posted everywhere.

From what I'm hearing, pulling fenders is going to crack the paint.
I will try to look it for it.
thanks, bro.

Use the heat gun to heat up the paint so it wont crack
Doing it carefully and using patience will minimize cracking. Pull only a little at the time to avoid dimpling your rear quarter panel.

how low are you and how much camber are you running? those offsets/sizes aren't too crazy...you should be able to get away with a slight pull/roll. i would go with some smaller tires or stretch a little more.
anyways, there's a wheel fitment thread for this shit
