S30 SPL Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 @Texis - What offset are those wheels and have you put the car on the ground? As you can see, I have some clearance issues with the air dam and the front of the fender. What suspension are you running? Settings? I figured if I dial out some caster, it would move the wheel back, but that's not exactly the best for handling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3VO 3VOM Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) Any one have pics of 17x9 et+15 no flares...? searched threw the las 30 pages and nothing yet. Thanks I'll have some 17x8 -3 17x8.5 +3 (rear size depending. Haven't taken the clearance measurement yet) mocked up this weekend on my new non-flared shell. x9 +0 fits just fine. May run into strut clearance with that +15. May need spacers to lower the effective offset and move it away from the strut tube.

texis30O Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I had my airdamn clearanced for the wheel and tire set up. It was the only way after the BAMF flares were put on. Wheels are 5" backspacing up front and 5" in the rear. I have a 1st run ocnversion kit on my car with off the shelf parts. from wfritz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3VO 3VOM Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Only had limited supplies on hand at the time to mock the new wheels up, hence the weird camber. But new setup for my non-flared S30 which is waiting for warmer temps to be painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really want to cut and flare my car either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I have a flared 280Z but only because it was all rusty. This one is 100% rust free body so I don't plan to cut this one. Wheels are Work VSXX 17x8 +22 and 17x8.5 +10. Front will have 1" spacer and rear will probably get a small slip on. I'm thinking of going with a 205/45, 225/45 or 225/40. Haven't made up my mind yet. Good thing about 17" is you can get nearly any size and profile you want. My flared car is on 16" and there is very limited choices.

disepyon Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Quick question, those of you running 17x9.5 wheels up front, are you using a bump steer spacer? Are there clearance issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
415DZ Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 For those of you running 16x8 what tires sizes are you running and what suspension? I'm looking for 16x8 all around with maybe 225/50/16 tires. I will run eibach progressives with tokico blues. I wanna know if I need to roll my fenders or trim back the stock perch to prevent rubbing. Thanks for your help. Also if anyone has pictures of rota wires or rota flush wheels please share them. Would love to see them mounted on a 240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
