Since this is relevant to what the original poster was asking about and might be some of the same issues he's going to run into, I'll post my question here.

I've got a set of 285/30/18s that I'm trying to get on my S14 at the moment. Rim size is a 18x9 with 35mm offset. Everything fits fine in the rear. No fender rolling or pulling is necessary.

The front I'm having difficulty with. With no spacers, the rims are hitting the springs on my shocks (bilstein inserts in lowered OEM housing). I can use a 25mm spacer to push the rims out enough to clear the spring, but then the tire hits the fender liners when turning.

I can use a crash bolt to push the top of the rim out some and use a 15mm spacer. However, that only allows me to get about -1.5 degree of camber out of my tein plates. Are there any other camber plates that give more adjustment then the tein plates? Besides slotting the mount holes.

My other option is to put the bilstein inserts into a non-lowered housing and lift the spring back over the tire.

JZR, what are you using to push the bottom of the strut further inboard, and does that screw withthe suspension geometry?


Any other suggestions?
