240sx coupe fender pulling issues. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

boosted98gst · 08-16-2008, 01:16 AM

This is one thing that I really do not know well, I bought a coupe and its had its fenders rolled and pulled, its about a 2 inch pull or so and they did a really crappy job, metal work is not one of my good trades so im taking the car to a body shop to be re worked and look perfect, I am really anal about it. When the cars gets back I am going to post a step by step process on zilvia how to paint your car decent with out spray bomb and using good paint like dupont or ppg either way, here is my question what common set of wheels will look good filling the pull? I am not a tire freak like the guys in the wheel thread, but just somthing that does not look stupid I only have around 2,000 total to spend on rims which is not much I know but its going to have to do. I just want somthing decent like work emo kai or xd9's wouls the 9.5's be enough to fill up the space? fill me in. thanks for the space.

I will try and find a pic of someone on here with a close pull so you can get an idea. thank you.

There is a wheel fitment thread.

Cmon, on here for 2+ years and you can't find the wheel fitment thread?

So what exactly is the question? Do you not want to stretch tire or something? There was also a max rubber thread too somewhere

Also, if you're not 5 lug, your wheel selection will be very limited :/

Yes i checked it also, how would I go about measuring to find out the correct offset for the pull? I wanted to stay with an entry level rim somthing cheap like works entry rim. My issue the pull is alot bigger then I thought and did not want to get into somthing wider ect ect, is there a proper way of measuring the correct way?

I can deal with a mild streted tire, im more worried about my pull being too much for a rim.

Not really, I mean I suppose you can eyeball and measure how much it's pulled out, compare it to stock. Then go from there, choosing your offset/width.

http://zilvia.net/f/2251141-post1965.html <-slight pull, s13 coupe, to give you an idea.

But hey, if it's not quite as flush as you'd like it in the end, there's always spacers right?
