17x9 front wheels RUB? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Import_Prophetz · 07-30-2009, 09:21 PM

Do 17x9 Front wheels rub even with tien coilovers? I heard they his the top perch and I would need 15mm Spacers. Has anybody done this, and not need spacers?

blackrms13 · 07-30-2009, 09:24 PM

need to know the offset...

Import_Prophetz · 07-30-2009, 09:27 PM

I want to say +35. Bad offset, and before I get knocked I know I coul have hit the search button. I was lazy, wont happen again.

w0nderbr3ad · 07-30-2009, 09:58 PM

I have about 5mm of space between my coilover and my inner lip. I'm on 17x9 +17 running -3 camber. If you're rubbing just get a spacer or another set of wheels.

slo_slideways · 07-30-2009, 11:34 PM

With a positive offset like 35 or so you may need a 10-15mm spacer. If your running like +20 or less you should be good.

Import_Prophetz · 08-03-2009, 01:52 PM

I was thinking about 15mm spacers, But dont I need to get extended studs?

If your car is an S14 you will need a 10mm spacer, and extended studs.
If you have an s13 you will need a 8mm spacer, no extended lugs needed.

How do I know this? Because I have the sprt MAX 962 rims on my s13, and s14.

Just spend a little more and buy 25mm spacers.

Most come with extended studs and screws for your original studs.

Like above.

And to top it off, you'll probably regret not getting 25mm if you buy 15mm

because most people end up wanting a bit more "poke"

Sileighty_85 · 08-03-2009, 04:00 PM

around +20 will be fine

this is my 18X9.5+20 with NO spacers on an S13

venom_5 · 08-03-2009, 04:39 PM

17x9+22 dont rub on an S14 with Eibach Sportlines on KYB GR-2s, since you have coilovers you will have more inside clearance so id say a +35 shouldnt rub but theres only 1 way to be 100% sure

Shocks and springs /= coilovers.

The lowest offset you can go on an s chassis with coils and 9" wheels is a 17x9 +25-22.

That's getting lucky, it also depends on how you have your preload set up.

i run a 17x9.5 +15 with a 235/45 tire in the front ... fenders are not rolled or pulled and i clear fine

Pics of your car and ride height would be important here.

I find that hard to believe since I had an S13 with 17x9 +12 (5mm spacer) with a 215/45/17 and it rubbed when turning.

See the tire on the fender?

You can see smoke from the tire rubbing.

Import_Prophetz · 08-03-2009, 11:57 PM

Nice viper. Thanks, I actually have the sportmazz 962's. Also I have the Rota Grid +15 offset 16x8. I have some volks te37's but they dont look great. Thanks guys. I will try the 8mm studs first. The rear I am putting a widebody on, So I will need some spacers back there. Thanks.

Brian · 08-04-2009, 10:24 AM

on my s13. stock fenders. front wheel - 17x9.5 +14 and also 17x9 +4 or something.
on my S14. stock fenders. front wheel - 17x9 +-0

I rubbed some tire on the fender here and there, but then again, the cars were low.

Devil Man · 08-04-2009, 10:41 AM

thats a noble not a viper.

i rock 17x9 +22 with a 10mm spacer and i have no rubbing issues.

im using those,i still rubbed but that was the inner linear,also rolled my fenders.17x9 +35 all around

Import_Prophetz · 08-06-2009, 08:48 PM

Grids are +15, Custom for my AE86, but I am selling my AE86 soon. I just decided to widebody, and convert the front to s15. Since I sold my MK4 supra I am kinda depressed. That gives me the excuse to work on one of my cars.

Import_Prophetz · 08-06-2009, 09:27 PM

Went to check Rota's, your right +10 offset, sorry.

cole d · 11-26-2009, 01:57 PM

I got a questions for you guys I contemplating rota grid's 18x9.5 +20 all around would that clear springs and agx shocks on a s13?

*!Zar!* · 11-26-2009, 04:03 PM

There aren't really any clearance issues with shocks and springs.

Coilovers are what you need to watch out for.

mptjimmy · 11-27-2009, 04:07 AM

if you have megan coilovers, they have extended lower brackets,

So, I can get a 18x9.5 +20 on the front of a s13 with shock and springs without a clearance issues?

1gr8bar10der · 12-24-2009, 06:20 PM

I'm about to put 17x10 +25 on mine with coils.

cumbewong · 12-24-2009, 06:58 PM

I'm goin to be buying 18x9.5 +35 wheels. do i need spacers? and if so, what mm?

thankss

wiggafly808 · 12-24-2009, 07:00 PM

I have tein hrs and sportmaxx 962 17x9s as well.

25mm spacers, 25mm overfenders, and i dont rub (front coils all the way down).
I did need 15mm spacers to clear the coils, but opted to go 25 so i wouldnt have to change my studs.

Heres a pic:
