350z wheels(no not that thread)

[redline racer510]

Anyway i went through reading everything about 350z wheels fitment on s13s but in all of those cases they were running smaller or stock tires and didn't really explaint their suspension set-up. So i got these 17x7.5 +33 17x8.5 +30 350 wheels(the 7 spokes with dimples) laying in my back yard and i am looking for good tires to accomidate them. Right now i am thinking about getting the dunlop Z1 star spec wheels that recently came out. My question is will these wheels fit if i put 235/45 front and 245/45 rear with coilovers and about a 2.5 inch drop?

i have the same wheels. i have 235/45 in the rear. i wish i went 245 for more traction, but 235 is what they are mounted with factory.

the fron 7.5 wide rims are 225 factory, but yeah, the max you can go is 235 front.

just go with a 225 in the front. i have coils too. you will have BARELY any clearance in the front because of the offset. i put a 10MM spacer on there and the wheels sit nice and flush.

i don't need a spacer in the rear, but i'm going either 15mm or 20mm in the future. if you get the 10 mil spacer, get longer studs.

do they rub anywhere else? How bout when you turn ?

[clark]

no i have no rubbing issues, and actually, the front wheels are still 225/55. i'll be changing to 225/45.

no rubbing issues at all at full lock. but again, i have the 10mm spacer, and stance coils.

the look of them also grew on me, it'll look really nice once i get that spacer in the rears.

will there be a problem if i get 10mil spacers with stock hub bolts?

clear and safe are very different

Anythign over a slip on 5mm and I'd go with longer studs

[redline racer510]

sorry i dont understand?

sorry i dont understand?


he is saying

dont put a 10 mm spacer on your stock hub without longer studs.
because if you do you will only be able to tighten down your lugs like 3-4 threads (which isnt safe at all).

so just get longer studs/wheel spacers.

and i was going to add..

i have the same wheels on my coupe. and it really matters on how low your car is..
i tuck my front wheels with 225/45 and i rub at and a little before full lock.. but my car is pretty low..

but if you arent going to be tucking the tires you should be fine.

i might sound stupid, but stock hub is 4 lug.....at least on s13s.....

[HS13KLS]

p.s

its 17x7.5 +30
and 17.80 +33

[redline racer510]

where does it rub at?

it might sound stupid but we are talking about a s13 that had previously gone witha 5-lug conversion lol, jp.

[blackrms13]

well u did say stock hub....

5 lug conversion isnt stock....

:p

[redline racer510]

please read that again, i said stock hub bolts not stock hub two very different things.

[redline racer510]

both 5 and 4 lug hubs have the same length hub bolts
