Guest thebng Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Anyone narrowed their S14? I got a situation where I want to narrow it 4" total or 2" on each side so my wide tires can tuck up under the body w/o using flares. Anyone done this mod yet? Hints, tricks? It seems to be pretty straight forward and I would then just have to have new axls fabbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me that if you were going to go through all the trouble of cutting everything out, moving it all inward and then having custom axles fabbed it would be about the same to go to solid axle (I assume this is a drag car). Actually if I wanted to build a big tire drag car I would skip that whole step and see if Stony's car is still for sale. Just my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my .02 I want to keep my car a total sleeper with relatively the same suspension geometry only narrower to tuck the rear tires inboard and to keep a stock appearance at first glance. Straight axl would be totally easier if i only wanted straight line performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZROSSA Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Another option is not cutting up the sub frame and using different offsett tires. You would want to get a hub to hub measurement first as I think the later model car were designed to run with more offset anyway. Could work.

Evan Purple240zt Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Uhh is this in an S14? You can fit a 275 width tire under basically stock fenders with the right wheels on an S14. I know nothing about narrowing a rear end in an IRS car. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
