so i got my zeal function b6 coilovers...

[Pudula]

the front wheels don't clear them, even with a 8mm spacer. They are 17x9 +35 with a 235/45 tire. What would I need to get for them to clear?

Thanks, Ryan

25mm spacers?

[Dousan_PG]

zeal? like a 25mm spacer i bet.
most coilovers are like a +25 or lower
zeal is like more, like a +20 i bet.
chec freshalloy.com there is a sticky on top for FAQ qs, i would for you but no time right now..back to work!

[jookybanana]

you would need +20 or lower, zeal is worst for clearance
even with 17x9 +20 it clears by 1mm, i am running +20 and a 6mm spacer(so +14 offset) just to be safe

[crazy9ceguy]

why is zeal bad for clearence. yea i notice my front barly clears, im running 17 x 9 +15

small front bracket (which bolts to front spindle)

[sideview_180sx]

is the thread pitch similar to that of other coilovers, and use a larger front bracket. don't worry the wheel clearance issue is just something that has to be delt with. im so jealous I want zeals.

off topic Dousan what does BH have on his car. I love the valving of those zeals

[Pudula]

would you guys run spacers or just replace the front wheel setup all together?

[kenshinS14sks]

if you have the money, i would personally replace the front wheels... but also dependson what rims they are and how much of an attachment i have with them or how rare they are...etc etc
