Bartman Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 Bartman, so what did the effective offset of the front and back end up to be? What tire sizes are you runinng? The wheels are 9.5 in back and 8.5 in front right? I am in So Cal and would love to see this setup if you are ok with it...I am shopping for wheels and want to make sure I get as wide as possible. Front Tires 245/40R18 Falken Azenis OD 25.6" Tread width 9.1" Rims 18x8.5 +35 Offset Spacer Modern Motorsport Adapters Approx. 28mm Net Offset Approx. +7mm ______________________________________ Rear Tires 275/35R18 Falken Azenis OD 25.6" Tread width 10.0" Rims 18x9.5 +35 Offset Spacer 5/8" 15.875mm Net Offset +19.125mm I found someone local that's making aluminum spacers for my coilover sleeves and I may have them tonight. I'll post up pic's as soon as I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go with 17" diameter wheels you may want to go with 9" rears instead of 9.5". That's the widest 17" wheel that anyone is running without flares that I know of. You can search through posts by 'Clifton' and '2fiddyz' as they are running this size on the back of their cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S30 SPL Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I think I have found what I am going to use... Volk GT-U 17x8 +27 5x114.3 225/45R17 Toyo R888 Front Volk GT-U 17x9 +21 5x113.3 255/40R17 Toyo R888 Rear The front will need that offset to fit with the Modern Auto Cobra Extreme brake kit, the rear should fit fine as you have it +2mm with the 240sx brake system.

Bartman Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 I got the aluminum spacers delivered last night and they look like they will work great. Unless I run into any other issues (knock on wood) I should have the installation completed this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartman Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 The wheels are installed and the car is on the ground. I started a new thread with the final pic's since this one has gotten rather long. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?p=798417 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
