fender questions....

[redgold]

just wondering if my fenders will be okay if i had 17 x 9 wheels with 15mm. spacers...and wondering if my fenders will be okay after i roll them...they are oem s13 fenders...the offsets on the wheels are +17

without the spacers...the wheels were rubbing on my coilovers...

are 15 mm. spacers too big or should i get smaller ones...

didnt get the spacers yet but a friend told me to get 15 mm. spacers...let me know

I'm surprised you wheels are rubbing your coilovers, general consensus is that won't happen on a 9 inch wheel until about +25. How much clearance do you need to clear the coilover? That is the size spacer you need.

Do you have coilover? or a shock and spring combo?

17X9 +17 should def not be hitting your coilovers. are u positive that they are 17X9 +17? if u got a 15mm spacer it would put the wheels at 17X9 +2 which is a little aggressive for stock fenders. that would def need a big dose of neg camber, rolling, and pulling.

Some coilovers have issues. My Tein HRs clear my 9inch 15 offset wheels by only a mm or 2. 17 Offset would likely rub for me.

What type of coilovers do you have? If they have bottom camber adjustments , that may be your problem. Adjusting from the bottom of the strut actually moves it closer/further from the strut body itself.

Yeah, the 15mm spacer is going to make your fitment really agressive. If you don't have the type of coilovers that adjust on the bottom, then go with a more mild spacer. 5mm should get you to clear.

i have tein HE coilovers...might try cambering it tonight and see what it will do...

try loosening the 2 bolts on the coilver to spindle and pull the spindle outward and tighten the bolts and that should give u some clearance
