rudypoochris Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I have heard of people using 5.25" back spacing on the front wheels of 240z's. This would be say zero offset on a 9.5" wide wheel. Out of curiosity, how does one achieve this with out rubbing the T/C rod or frame at full lock? Any insight would be great. Are there some type of steering limiters available?

johnc Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 You will rub the frame and/or the TC rod at full lock. If that worries you, put rack stops on the steering rack. EDIT: I've used two piece shaft collars as rack stops. Go to McMaster-Carr and search on "Shaft Collar". You'll need the OD of the rack.

I kept hearing people suggesting 5.25" BS and such and I just couldn't seem to figure it out. I honestly don't care about sacrificing some lock, but I do care about it rubbing. I will look into the shaft collars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
