s13irdie2 · 07-20-2004, 02:18 AM

will you need to roll the fenders with the ssr mesh or enkei mesh if im gonna run coilovers? also will they clear the z brakes with 20 mm spacers? thanks

TheTimanator · 07-20-2004, 06:35 AM

Yeah, this thread is back...and I'm over a 1,000 posts!

depends on the offset, width of the rim, tires size and camber that your running. Having wheels that clear coilovers does not mean that you will have to roll your. Once again it will depend on what I said above.

about clearing Z brakes...I have no idea. If you want to upgrade your brakes and get mesh wheels without running crazy spacers you could get Q45 brakes.

Zemus · 07-20-2004, 10:21 AM

15x8.5 -27 offset :-D Rear, and hopfully in front soon

brianglawson · 07-20-2004, 01:11 PM

Im running on Riken mesh 16x7, -15 in the front on es100's and Super Advan Gen 1's in the rear 17x9 + 42, weird ass offset but it came with Bridgestone Re-01's with 99% meat.

those sizes sound like that ebay 240 with the Jacquemond Design kit and supra tails. I think it had 300zx headlights too but I can't remember

The wheels still looked super sunk... The front would look sunken even with stock fenders....

Wait a minute...you bought that car didn't you!!!

ES 100's are awesome. I just got a set and they stick like glue and run soooo smooth.

holy crap mang! lol. I was thinking about those 5zigen fno1rc in 17x10 +12 all around but sheesh! lol. thats crazy ace!

Mr. Badlose · 07-21-2004, 10:56 AM

Don't mind the hand. Typhoons 17x8 +32 (or was it +35?)
New tires coming soon. Very soon before they blow up on me! (right JAAE86? heh) I don't think 245 Azenis will fit...so 225 it will be. The 225/45/17 a046s (evo tire) up front have about a 10mm amount of clearence between the strut's coil-mount. Yes, I'm guess-timating this measurement.

Edit: I'm hoping some z32 brakes on Z-tuner brackets will fit well up front.

p.s. : F**k you, Eibach Prokit. Ok I'm sorry Eibach, you ride well...but when you claim you'll lower my car you shouldn't lie. ^_^

PSI240SX · 07-21-2004, 11:08 AM

just got my new feet on! SSR SP1R 16x8.5F and 16x9R with a sick lip...

Little flared fender action when I got it painted too. Hehe.

brianglawson · 07-21-2004, 12:40 PM

nice jay

looks super great

Zemus · 07-21-2004, 01:59 PM

wow, thats the offset on those, they look super nice!

S13FREEAAK · 07-21-2004, 02:17 PM

Zemus: What size tire do you run on your 15x8.5? I might try and fit some 15x8 0 offset with 225/50/15s or something like that. Do you think I could get away with just rolling the fenders and some serious camber(-3.5,-4 degrees)?

I am running 215/50/15s and 205/55/15s on the back of those wheels, and truthfuly with a nice setup I would take the 215/50/15s on back, felt GREAT awesome responces, and are just overall awesome. I would run 3 deg on those 15x8 0s. Just my personal pref. also roll those fenders

TheTimanator · 07-21-2004, 11:51 PM

Jay, PM'd you about the meets (this is the guy you met at Dicount Tire). When you said SSR, I was thinking meshies...but wow, looks awesome! I'd like to know the offsets as well....

I could ask a dozen questions as to why you did all that.....but I gotta know, why did you get a larger gas tank? haha

INeedNewTires · 07-22-2004, 01:37 AM

i have 17x 8 Regamasters with an effective +30 offset. They are forged and weigh 12.7 lbs each, im running Dunlop Fm901's up front with a 215/45 and i got come corvette tires for cheap so im using them out back. not the greatest sizes but they were only 10 bucks a tire with 60% tread left so i couldnt pass em up. they are 225/50's Potenza RE92's.

I LOVE my setup. i have Z32 brakes all around, and am about to buy some SPL coilovers. I know they will clear fine. Im getting the coilovers fitted for S14 for the fronts because i converted to 5 lug with S14 stuff including LCA's, and im getting the rears fitted with Z32 lower mounts so i can use the aluminum uprights from the Z32 for added unsprung weight savings.

I cant believe the difference the lightweight wheels made. I can get the tires spinning easier now that before when i had crappy ass tires on a 15in wheel. It really makes no logical sense; the fact that i have wider and much better tires now but can break them loose easier?? Weird but true. i have shitty open diff and stock clutch too, which i hate. I absolutely love the wheels though, they dont look all flashy so they wont get stolen but they are really flush with the fender. the 225's are fitted perfect on the 8in wheel while the 215's have a little stretch, it looks really good.

I dont have alignment specs yet as i am finishing putting all this stuff on by friday, then ill know my exact specs but im thinking of putting -2.2 or so front camber and -1.2 rear. caster will be set with my adj TC rods, and toe i will try and get as straight as possible for now, I need to read more on toe settings before i mess with that.
