How will this fit? *Noob*
I'm looking at buying this S13 soon, and it's currently sitting on stock wheels with 100% stock suspension...
My intentions were to pickup some Tein S Tech lowering springs (Coilovers just aren't for me), and have the car sit on XXR 962's (17x9 +35) all around. And as for tires 245/45/17 maybe a bit wider if that's gonna have too much of a stretched looked (also not for me). Will this fit good with the amount of offset those wheels have? Any advice you guys can give me I'd appreciate it. *Flaming is welcome Thanks -Marcus |

No way that'll fit, what's wrong with the stock wheels/suspension? Just leave those on there and call it a day

Stock suspension, I can live with I just want to be a bit lower and some lowering springs will do the trick. Not much of a coilover person. Might be interested in the tein lowering springs... are they the s-tech lowering spring? I have 2 friends with s-techs and they are pretty good. I don't want to lower my car too much and those lower the car about 1.5". Not interested in the wheels, sorry. |

Yeah I said that because I've been in cars with coilovers before and the ride quality is complete shit. Not for me and yes I mostly just want to go for looks right now... the 240 I'm looking at is just a stock KA with a CAI and exhaust... so as for performance... I don't give a damn. Once it's faster I'll care more about performance.

true, im curious to what kind of "shitty" coilovers that he has ridden on....i know ive had Tein SS coilovers on my Z and it did exactly what it was intended to do....drive like a damn go cart....then i had BC coilovers on my sc400 set to super stiff, and it was the most comfertable ride ive ever had....now i have Tein CS coilovers on my gs300, and it is an incredibly comfertable ride to me....NOOOOBBBSSSSSS!!!!!! FTW

245/45 will rub when turning for the fronts. Go with 225-235 width for the front. Plenty of tire for a stock 240. I run 235front and 255 rears. Both on 18x9 mb interline wheels. +25 I believe. The rears are pretty close to the fenders. the front with a 15mm spacer are close enough to the front fenders for me. I HATE the stretched look. I don't want to pull a tire off the bead when cornering. I saw it happen past week to someone's front tire. It sucked watching them slide int a curb and fuck their car badly. For suspension I run Eibach sportlines and Tokicko blue struts. I don't care what people sat about Eibach, my car rides very nice and with my sway bars it handled wonderfully.

Adjustable coil overs are a waste of money on a daily driver. If you spend under $1500 on them they won't last. A real set costs $2k. And be ready to rebuild every couple years. A well matched spring/strut combo is what you want. Nismo has a matched set that is amazing. Non adjustable. Expensive but worth it. They will also rebuild and revalve for $50 each.

Houston road can suck pretty bad, I don't like a slammed car. Too much money and time to keep it aligned how I want. Still won't be a good geometry. People are surprised how well my car handles for a cheap setup. I have tension rods, sways, springs and struts. Most of the handling difference I saw was from new bushings, (I have a mix of OEM rubber and poly with radial holed drilled in them) and new tires.

17x9 you say?
run 225/45/17's on there, it's plenty of grip with stock power. if not.... 235/40/17 or 245/40/17 if you really want to go wider tires.
