This picture looks pretty cool with the blurred backround...

brianglawson · 03-21-2004, 09:14 AM

ultraprince · 03-21-2004, 11:27 AM

5zigen FNO1R-C silver
17x8 +25 245/40/17
17x8 +42 275/20/17

i think the offset my be switched around. i forget.

Salty_X · 03-21-2004, 12:01 PM

M2 DT-05R (Hyperblack)
F: 17x8.5 +25 215/45/17
R: 17x9.5 +30 235/40/17

Clears coilovers by just a bit ... Tein HEs. Clears Z brakes with ease though.
Rears are very flush, fronts aren't as flush as I want though. We'll see how S14 LCAs changes that.

nightwalker · 03-21-2004, 01:30 PM

15x7 +10 all around!

flushy flushy!

this is seriously one of the most helpful threads I've seen on here. This should be a sticky!

Shin_Kudo · 03-21-2004, 03:14 PM

Steelies =P. Well, at least they clear my TEIN HEs.

undercoverdjay · 05-06-2004, 04:39 PM

how can people get away with this setup? My 9 inch SSR GT1's rub in the rear. I ran KYB AGX's with sustec springs which dropped it 1.8 in the front and 1.6 in the rear. I assume the rate was wrong because it blew my drivers side rear shock. I put my stock rear springs in and had it aligned with no camber + or - and my shock set on 8 it'll still rub under hard cornering. And I see people running 9.5's and 10's thats nuts. Why cant my car be normal and just work?

adey · 05-06-2004, 05:31 PM

Ooh! new photos.

16*8 +16 front (+36 w/ 20mm spacer)

Again. Rears are 15*8.5 offset unknown... roughly +15 or +10 or so, I'm guessing.

edit: Front fenders NOT ROLLED, DO NOT RUB. 205/55/16 tires.
Rear... thinking about it, must be closer to +5 offset... if not +/-0. It's hard for any positive offset 8.5" wheel to rub in the rear, esp. since I have rolled fenders!!

EDIT: forgot, I directed you to this thread

Many of these guys are running negative camber and streched tires to make them fit, as well as rolling fenders. (some pull fenders too). What exactly is it rubbing anyway?

Salty_X · 05-06-2004, 08:17 PM

^And what offset?
Maybe you have 9 +45 or something weird like that.

TheTimanator · 05-06-2004, 08:17 PM

Since this thread is back.....

Riken Mesh 15x7 +17 offset on stock suspension

it's because you're probably running 255/40 or 275/35 tires or something ridiculously (and most likely UNNECESSARILY) fat like that. people who run 9" wheel with +10 offset and DON'T rub have rolled fenders and run 215/45 tires.

TheTimanator · 05-06-2004, 08:28 PM

Wow adey, your good. He's runign 255/40/18's

Volk Racing Group-AV
17x7 +29
17x8 +35

SSR Reverse Mesh
16x7 +25
16x8 +26

Both are flush... SSR's won't clear 300ZX brakes. Volk might. Both will clear coilovers.

Dousan_PG · 05-06-2004, 08:46 PM

the volk are definately NOT flush
but they do look hot!

*HaLo* · 05-06-2004, 09:35 PM

Thanks Aaron!

They kinda looked flush to me.

Oh Well.. At least they are hot!

undercoverdjay · 05-06-2004, 09:48 PM

I understand that on a KA 255's are quite overkill. but I bought these wheels and tires around an SR20DET that I'm having installed by Enjuku racing. With the right tuning the budget I'm looking to spend will net me around 350-400RWHP Then 255's will hopfully be the ticket. But regardless of whatever setup I have under the hood they'll still rub. Honestly before I adjusted the rear camber they hit inside the wheel closer to the body. Once I pulled them out they hit that lip thats on the outer part of the fender well. I have a 38mm offset wheel. Maybe since I'm in the market for new tires, go with a narrower tire and a shorter profile? Or keep the 255's and a spacer. and not too sound like too much of a noob but what exactly is rolling the fenders?

brianglawson · 05-07-2004, 04:53 AM

Hey everyone, since the thread is kickin again..... i figured id post my new setup...
'98 Cobra wheels 17x8 +30 with 225/45/17's all the way around....clear my 300zx 30 mm brakes...should barely clear coilovers....and if you have mudgaurds like my car, they will rub like hell at half lock...i still gotta take them off:

Halo....love the volks man....
still think the thread should be a skicky

255s are probably overkill even for an SR with bolt-ons! Maybe when you have 400hp it'll be of use... but before then, I don't think they're giving you anything but slow acceleration...
I've not heard of wheels rubbing the chassis side of the rear fender well, that sounds REALLY scary... but rubbing the inside of the fender is normal; you just want to make sure it's noto cutting into the side wall of the tire. That's why we roll fenders. You can search on the forum, there've been a lot of threads. Try the FAQ forum. Basically there's a lip on the inside of the fender that gets in the way of your wheels when they're wide and have low offsets. You take a heat-gun and hammer to this lip, and flatten it out so that you have more room for the tire/wheel.
Until you reach your magical 400hp number, I'd recommend 205s and 215s on a KA, and then maybe 215-235 on the SR, depending on when you get it and how much power you have.

If I had 17*9 +38 wheels with 255 tires on them, I'd swap it out for a 205/45/17 (or 215/40/17) and throw a 20 or 25mm bolt on spacer on there, too. But that's just me under my Pink Godzira influence.

sideviewcivic · 05-07-2004, 11:11 AM

Eagle type 28 wheels 15x7 and 15x8 (fronts) 15x10 (rear) on there way to my house, yah imma be tire stretching like whoa when i get them. offset im not worrying about since a have a pair of 25mm billet alum. spacers.hey danny, you think aaron or lindsay wud pull my fenders once i get them dropped on??
