Whats too wide for lowering springs - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Imojsimpsun · 07-06-2012, 09:19 PM

I have a set of 962s 18x9.5 with a little bit of stretch. Im currently on lowering springs with about a 2 inch drop. Im getting 20mm spacers this week but im worried about clearing the struts? Will this be an issue? I wont be able to get coils for a few months and im dying for a tad bit of stance.

Great another noob fanboy that only cares about "stance" and prob wants to hard park to impress your friends. Quit asking the same questions that have been covered over and over again. If you can't read and simply see that there are STICKIES for people like you who are too lazy to search I will help you and post the info you seek.

Hey dude. Relax you fucking keyboard warrior. Im not all about stance. But thanks anyways for your concern over an open forum.

divide your wheels by 2. convert mm of offset to inches. add that converted number to the inboard (engine side of) wheel width. that will tell you how much back spacing your wheels are.
then, go look up max backspacing you can run for clearance.

I ende up just trial and error lol. The rears are fine. The fronts needed a spacer and a little bit of notching in the shock tower. At this point i dont care just need coils so whatever lmfao.

^ You're clearly very new here sir, you wouldn't understand how this forum works.

If you don't like it, you can always go to nico.

Op, use the fitment question thread for that.

Yea it's a forum, but there are other threads MADE to answer questions like these thy dont need their own thread. A simple search, and he could have found this and it would have gone much smoother. Wheel Fitment Question Thread

To be honest, the wheel fitment thread sucks.

No one wants to sift through a million posts about how great they think their car looks or not. If there was some kind of end-all chart right in the 1st post, sure-- that would be perfect.
