ktm Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 running 225/50s.....will they rub the wheel well/fender of a 240z with a Tokico HP spring and strut setup? I've run through the calcs and measured the clearance from the springs to the front fender lip. I measured 10.5 inches. With 3-3/8 backspace that means I have 9.5/2 = 4.75 + (4.75 - 3.375) = 5.125" in the front. I am running 14x7 0 offset wheels now, which means I have 4 inches backspace and front. The wheels would be 1.125 inches further out than my current wheel. It looks like it will be tight in the front. I am not worried about the valence at this time. The rears are another matter though. I am not concerned if they stick out a little bit at this time. I just need to know if I **have** to go with flares to use them or if I can stretch/roll the fender a bit. I can get the wheels for a screaming deal - 15x8.5 Centerline two-piece weighing in at 13 lbs per wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zguitar71 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 you will need flares. The tires will go beyond the fender past the point of rolling the lip. Your wheels will have a pretty large - offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
