I know with every alignment and adjustment in caster the answer to my question will change somewhat but here we go...
question=Will i need to tub my front end before up coming steering work changes ...
the set up is on s13 fastback..
super hicas rack
PBM max knuckle mod
pbm tubular flca with tension
pbm inner s14
touge factory s14 outer
with 17x9 +12 could run spacers but no more than 15mm /225/45 tire
3.5camber / close to or alil north of factory on caster

Do you think i will need tubs ?
thinking ill be hitting the frame rail more than anything !

Nopes, not with those wheel sizing.

jdo180 · 12-16-2012, 05:04 PM

right on ..
Seem to be rubbing the shit out of my fenders at the moment
running stock knuckles...
but your thinking the track will be adjusted out with the FLCAs so there will be no issues?

Well, tubing it has nothing to do with your wheels touching your fenders.

pull the fenders abit, add spacer so rim doesn't rub on coilover,
and if it rubs when you turn then hammer the inner area behind front tires

if you really want to tub heres some info and advice!
