coilover clearance?

[turbo2nr]

i searched but i could find an answer

i have a s14 im planing to run megan coilovers

my rims in the rear are 17x9 +43, tires are 255/45/17 (yes i know gay!)

will the megan coils clear in the rear? also how much camber will i have to run to make this work?

thanks

Shit wont clear neither front nor the rears...You dont need camber...YOU NEED SPACERS. 20mm spacers all around

[turbo2nr]

front is 17x7.5 +35 with 25mm spacers so 17x7.5+10 is the new front,

the rear i have 25mm spacers as well,
so now with 17x9 +18 offset (43-25) will it fit with the 255 in back and also can i get away w/o rolling fenders?

[don_bagz]

+18 off set should clear the coils... 255 on the rear, that im not sure if you wouldnt need to roll... but it should clear the coils

[s13silady]

for the rear with a 255/45, your spacer setup will clear the megan coilover, but you will need to roll with about -2.5 - 3 camber in the rear.

i dont have money for a good ruca right now, think i can get away with stock camber untill i can get a good ruca?

or just wait and get the ruca and then put on my coils?

Wait until you have all the parts to do it correctly. That is always the best bet.

so a 17x9 +18 with a 255/45/17 tire
will i need a slight roll or pull?

thanks

I have a 17x9 +7 with a 255/40/17 on the back of my S14 and it rubs slightly.

You will need a roll for sure just to take care of that inside lip, you might get away without having to pull.

Coilover clearance shouldn't be an issue.

would the good ol baseball bat roll work?

or do i need a professional roll?

its just to get rid of the inner lip correct?

[dori_sil8t]

heat gun and a rubber mallet will take car of the lip

they both achieve the same results. Just rent a fender roller and take your time

just run a 245 in the rear.
but yea... camber would make the clearance on the coil overs worse

u need like a 15-20mm spacer back there.

[turbo2nr]

cant really buy new tires not in the buget and these have alot of meat on them so im stuck with them,

im prob gona save and roll fenders and get spl/power max ruca...

sigh... no slam for me yet...

why does everything with this car gotta be so complicated?

[blackrms13]

also u can just get a BFH and massage the wheel well lip

Get a professional roll... they are not that expensive to even rent a machine yourself. I can't believe people actually use a baseball bat to roll their stuff.
