Does anybody have 2002 Sentra SE-R wheels on their 89-94 240sx coupe? I just installed mine two days ago after having them sitting in the garage forever. Anyways when I moved the car forward yesterday I can hear the front rubbing against the suspension. The tires are Toyo Proxes 215/45/17 and the front suspension is Cusco full coilover system with top camber plates. The Car isn't aligned yet so maybe that's why but I dunno. Does anyone else have this problem?

its probably because those wheels suck ass because the offset is too high to give adequate clearance, get some spacers, problem solved.

dont have this problem because i bought the correct wheels for my car w/ the proper offset
if its just the front
you can try pulling the coilover/shock body out towards the body will change the camber but also might be enough for the wheel/tire to clear
otherwise, welcome to spacer city.

Well I got them with tires for $200 bucks so I was just using them for now. I'm saving up for some Work wheels but can't afford them right now so that's what i'm stuck with for now. So i'll look into some spacers I guess, but at the same time obviously I know they are front wheel drive wheels but I've seen a few people on zilvia running them so I basically wanted to know if others have the same problem that's all.
