I have a s14 and Im curious if anyone has ran or is running anything close to these specs.. I know this could turn into a huge debate so Im just looking for personal experience not opinions. Will they rub? I know some rear fender work is gonna be need which isnt a big deal its the front that Im worried about.

"Will they rub?"

if you have to ask, dont try it, yes they will, why are you worried more about the front than the rear?

rear 1/4 panel is what causes salvage title

^^ agreed, charles is a cool kid, people just hate him because they want his setup... its funny, i love how as soon as he got banned people were quick to put up hate-sigs about him... i cant wait to see them come down the day he returns

as for you MR. 217, my roomate replied to your thread on 240 forums... and i agree



here was his response..

you will be able to clear suspension if my rememberance is correct. of course fender work is required, you should try and get 30-50 mm wider up front and 50 wider in the rear wit ha little CHmercer manuevering it should fit well, and look quite amazing, buy them, i will make them fit!!

naw...they won't rub AT ALL. No fender work, no overfenders, nothing.... Throw them on and they will fit perfect...Just don't put tires on them...

THEN they will rub.

seriously though, new front fenders and overs in the rear will be needed.

Keep it in your sig or find yourself joining him.

I realize that Charlie's insight and experience would be more than helpful in this thread, but I won't allow for stupid post whoring for the sake of protesting a ban.

For what it's worth, he'd be back already if he hadn't created a new username.

..the waters are rough here on zilvia.

anyways, with specs like that, you probably are going to need a Power steering cooler. Those are pretty wild sizes and you might find your PS fluid boiling.

The sizes and offsets sound dreamy, but what wheels are they?

if 25 more days is forever to you, then yes.
