Swift springs? How much did you get the setup for?

 

Standard springs. $1650 shipped.

 

Sick. They let you specify your rates?

 

Yes they will valve them to the rates you choose. They will also give you spring recommendations based on the use of the car. They have a worksheet on their website and will contact you after you fill it out. I softened the rear slightly from what they recommended.

 

Hey guys looking to pick up wheels Forgestars F14f's 18x9 +25 et fronts with 20mm flares and 18x12 +10 et with 30mm flares in the rear. Keyboard struts and ebaich springs....thinking of running a coilover though. Would this set up work out alright?

 

I think that 18x9 +15mm lug pattern 5x114.3 will fit, but what do you guys think? Its 370z rims. I think it would look nice with the RX7, the squared look you know.

 

The proverbial will this fit:
Epsilon Southern ways
(Unsure of offset but probably around +15, found some locally and really want them)
16x10 front
16x11.5 rear
1 inch adapter spacer 5x114.3 to 5x120

 

Late edit:
Willing to pull fenders but not run wider fenders.

 

What size tire will you run?

 

Unsure. I do want some meat on the sidewalls and would rather avoid major stretch. A slight stretch would be okay. I would rather not use the 1 inch adapter spacers but I can not find these wheels in the size I want in 5x114.

Anyone swapped hubs or drilled hubs? Overall, I want to know if it is even possible.

 

Not enough information to give you an answer. What is your ride height and hub height? What suspension are you running? What is the actual offset of the wheels?

I can tell you the rears are probably too wide to work with stock fenders unless you run really low profile tires, but they will stick out. The front could work with slightly stretched low profile tires, but will stick out too.

I don't think the tire sizes you need to make it work with 16s exist.

 

I am running coilovers so height and camber are adjustable. I can and will pull the fenders.
The offset is around +15

Just unsure of the tire size required for these. If I can't fit them then so be it, just was hoping lol

 

You won't fit them unless you run stupidly stretched tires, or the car high enough that the fenders won't hit the tires.

You might be able to get away with a 16x10 all around with mildly stretched tires. The 11.5 in the rear won't fit.

 

Alright. Thanks for the input. I will pass on this set. I would rather run 16x8 or 9 tops but I figured since they were local and cheap I would give it a shot.

 

18x9 +14
18x9.5 +18

Front was toed in like a bitch lol

 

How much clearance is necessary between the rim/tire and suspension? I'm running a 17x8 up front and my coilover spring/perch clearance is extremely tight with the wheels straight. Will that clearance change when the suspension is traveling and everything moving around during driving?

 

You can get away with very little space between that wheel and the coilover. 1/4" is probably enough if your tire sidewall is slightly stretched.

The only thing that should move around is the tire.

If your wheel bearings are bad or go bad, the wheel could get closer to the strut.

 

17x9 +20 all the way around... Will it fit under stock fenders? Will it rub coils?

 

Not without a lot of camber in front and/or really small tires. You'll probably need a fender roll in front, maybe the rear as well, depending on the tire and ride height.

Will it hit the coils? - probably not.

 

I wanna go low, not like wheel to fender low, but flush. What kinda tire size do ya think I could get away with? Thanks for the help

 

Do the wheel guys out there think these will fit? I can but them cheap locally

XXR 521's in Matte Black, 18x8.5 /18x10 +25mm Offset

I will put the widest/tallest/stickiest tire I could fit in the back


Here is what the photoshop looks like vs. my current wheel.

Now




New (photoshoped)

 

Front will fit, rear won't without a fender pull and roll. You need something in the +35 offset range to get a large tire under the rear fenders

 

235/40/17 all around will probably work well.

 

Thanks. I have no problem with that. I dont even mind notching the control arm. Any issues with the shock body of spring perch? (I have coil overs)

 

Most likely you won't have any problems with the coilovers in front with those wheels and whatever tire you run. What brand do you have?
