^^^offsets?

 

the rear is +25 and the front is +24

 

I think I'm gonna do a 215/40 up front. That'll give me enough stretch to clear the fenders so I can go lower

 

RTY PWR did you have roll or pull ur fenders to get that setup to work to begin with or no?

 

Anybody think ill have any problem with 16x8 or 17x8 with a +20 or +15 offset with out rolling or pulling fenders with the height im sitting at?

 

i would like to see a 215/40 on a 10" rim

 

87hardtop26: I rolled and pulled the stock fenders initially to fit the wheels. it "functioned" with a decent amount of rubbing, but it didnt really wear away the tires. The rears fit without a pull with no spacer. I put on my 10mm spacer in the rear and lowered it another inch, and had to pull. but havent had much issues with the rear. Hopefully getting the 215/40s here soon, so i can get my bumper and lip back on to show everyone. paint came out beautiful

 

Final product, 215/40s up front, 30mm overs, fresh factory blue metallic paint. lemme know watcha think

 

**** i was ganna say they look like stock fenders i was ganna try to fit mine up front

 

Ha, nope they are shine 30mm's. They will kinda fit with stock fronts with a huge pull.

 

What are the specs on the wheels all round? Sits perfect, any spacers on the front or just rear?

 

specs on wheel setup is 17x10 +20 all around, up front i have a 15mm adapter, and i took out my rear 10mm slip on spacer to put on a 5mm because i havent pulled the rears enough to avoid total rubbing in boost. so right now, thats how it sits.

 

you guys are so lucky to be able to run that low..

i need at least 6cm of ground clearance to be able to park my car in my street, let alone drive around town

 

its really not that bad. i mean, yea its low but its managable. the only main thing that gets me is like construction zones when they have huge chunks taken out of the pavement

 

in the Dutch government, there must be someone who gets off on massive speedbumps..
and to get from the motorway to my home, i encouter about 10 of those

some are even killing for normal cars

 

How'd you find the shine fenders? good fit etc? My order arrives wednesday in port.

 

In Australia the lowest legal point on your car has to be 100mm off the ground, my silvia was 120mm and I could not take it anywhere, lesson learnt in a shopping mall carpark on a speedbump / pedestrian crossing. Annoying as hell.. 100mm is law but ***** just make their own rules and wreck nice cars.

 

i got their number and called em. it took a little work to fit em, but they fit pretty well now.

 

rty you are rocking those wheels well! looks great. and you did fit the fenders well. i think mine come over the front bumper a tiny bit.

 

what center bore are you guys using on the spacers?

 

If i remember correctly, the center on my 15mm was 67.1 i think, feel free to correct me if i'm wrong

 

Hey RTY PWR, how does the car handle with those wheels and spacers? Did it change the characteristics of the car? I want to run this set -up when I do my Cosmo swap, but I still want my car handle good. Thanks.

 

I have the same wheel set up as RTY just different spacers, i also believe my motor is a little heavier than his?. i have felt that the cars handling has improved, i have also noticed it chases ruts a little more, but i have not gotten it aligned yet.
..waits for RTY to voice his opinion on the set up!

 

It still handles like a dream. I took it to the mtns the other day, but if you want to beat it hard handling, i wouldnt run 10's up front IMO. I did it for looks, but even with the shine 30mm overs i am still barely clearing on 215/40s. so, yea, it handles a lot better than my previous (stock meshies). so i'd say go for it, especially for the price

 

i really like this set up. so 17x10 +20 all around clears the stock fenders?
