Intro:
I hate to do this but after looking over 89 threads using the search tool and encountering zero usable data for my setup has led me to just posting my situation and hoping for the best.
Setting:
I've been trying to sell some wheels but with the lack of interest I will most likely just keep them.
The Protagonist:bow::
John
My Car:
90' S13 Hatch
Stock fenders
The Wheels:
5Zigen FNO1Rs
16x7 +42
17x8 +38
The offsets are obviously the first problem, especially when trying to get some flushness and stance. But...
The Real Conflict:cops::
The problem is I want to upgrade to a front and rear z32 brake setup and I am pretty sure they will not fit with these wheels. The spoke design is good, but the offset is definitely not.
The Possible Solution or Another Problem?
My answer to this problem is to use Project Kics Spacers.
Questions:
The Antagonist:bash::
1. What size spacer should I use for the front and rear to clear the z32 front and rear brake setup using the above 5Zigen FNO1Rs without having to modify the fenders other than rolling and only having the car lowered to have TIRE and FENDER flushness?
(BTW the car will be used for some daily some autocross/time attack.)
2. Since the spacer will need to be greater than 10mm will I need extended studs?
I don't think so because the Project Kics already have studs pressed in them.
3. I've also so far have been told that I will need hubcentric rings since I believe the Project Kics spacers are NOT already hubcentric. Is this accurate? Are they really NOT hubcentric?
The Plea for Help:
I've searched and I still need help. You and you zilvians there please answer my genuine distress call and come to my aid with your vast and only useful knowledge that I may join you on the streets and track to test my skill one day and join the ranks of true 240 enthusiasts, who coast or hunt for sport.
Sometimes these questions and threads get boring so I tried to add some flare to the topic. Hope this helps and I am crossing my fingers:x: for some usable help here people.
:bowdown:Thanks a plenty in advance:bowdown:,
