Joedatsun Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Whats the widest 17" wheel/tire combo people are running under stock 240z fenders without flares? Any advice on backspacing/offset ? Coil-overs vs. reg.struts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyte Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 I've been kinda researching this, and I _think_ you can run a 17x8 on the back with a +10mm offset and stock coils. I could be wrong though.. I'd like to know the right answer to this question too. Phyte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phyte Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 I run 17x9 on the rear. Mark Mark, are you running stock suspension with no flares? What is the backspacing of yours wheels. More info and pics would be appreciated. Phyte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillZ260 Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Yes, I just decided against the adjustable coilovers and 5 way adjustables. So I should end up with some extra $$ to buy some nice wheels and tires when I am done with all the other work. Good information to have...

fl327 Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 i think the adjustables are overkill on a street car, especially if youre like me and probably dont take turns hard enough to even test the limits of a good aftermarket spring,shock, and sway bar combo with good sized tires and wheels. Now the brakes, thats a different story 17x8 will fit , will need an offset to go further into the fenderwell though, but its easier to get them on the rear, and more needed back there as well. 5 inch back space on the rear or so????

Guest Anonymous Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 I run coil overs and no flares. Spring perch is above the tire. http://www.hybridz.org/phpBB2/album_pic.php?pic_id=1578 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 240zxt Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Mark, I saw your car at that same show as you took that picture. I have to say, thats an awsome machine. I was VARY impressed when I got up close to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
