Tire Rub At Full Lock? Help
Hey so I bought my first 240sx its 1996 S14 its essentially my first car, used to own a 91 accord for a couple months til I sold it for coil over/alarm money recently. The S14 came with some no name brand camber arms that are red and gold and I bought some F&F Type 2 coilovers. I had my mechanic install it and he's extremely knowledgeable and capable but is used to working on all sorts of stock cars. Modified cars aren't really his ballgame.
He installed my coilovers for me and we've been working to dial in a good ride height. I haven't been changing the top perch because I wan't to keep the spring rate the same as it was from the factory.
The way I sit right now, the back is tucking half way down the tire. and I had a 4" wheel gap in the front for a few days. When he wasn't busy we brought the front down to about 3 cm wheel gap. The wheels used to rub on the old KYB shocks and espelir springs the car had on it but it seemed to have stopped after the MacPherson strut setup was applied.
But here's my problem now that I have a good lowered daily height (goes over bumps nice in a straight line but if you hook it you start chirping and losing traction) the inside of both front wheels touch the front of the wheel-well barely at full lock. However, it's really noticeable when driving and you go full lock so I've been driving making really wide turns like a u-haul truck lately haha
I have some shitty 17x7 Motegi wheels that I can't even find when I look up all the casting numbers on it so I'm not sure what the offset is on em. I need advice, my plan is to get new wheels maybe varrstoens or some used works but I'm literally flat broke after repairs. What do I do until I can afford new wheels + alignment? Has anyone dealt with the same problem and come up with a cost-effective solution? I thought maybe wheel spacers could fix it but I honestly don't know shit about lowering cars lol, Thanks guys
