350z 18" on S13

1993 Nissan 240SX Hatch
KA24DE, 5spd
KYB Struts


I recently did the 5 lug and z32 brake swap on my s13.
S14 FLCAs/spindles/hubs
Z32 Front and rear calipers/rotors
Z32 Rear hubs

I also acquired a set of wheels from a buddies totaled '05 350z. Theyre the 18" touring wheels.

When the install was complete, i noticed i had some alignment issues. The front wheels were extremely toed out and the camber was a bit out of whack.
I took it to a local shop to get aligned and this is what it looks like now:

FL
Camber -2.5
Caster 5.7
Toe .04

FR
Camber -2.5
Caster 5.1
Toe .04


RL
Camber -.8
Toe .15

RR
Camber -1
Toe .16

With that said, i know ill need aftermarket support to get the numbers within my personal specs.

I've encountered another problem though. When i turn the wheel completely left or right, the bottom spring seat on the strut turns and hits (closes the gap between the tire/strut) the top edge of my tire. Does anyone have any experience with this problem? I can take pics if need be.

if i'm understanding what you're saying, then you could probably get away with adding a 5mm slip on spacer and that would resolve the issue.
