Quick wheel fitment question? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I'm trying to fit work xd9 18x9+20 rims on the front of my s13 but the rim is touching the coilovers (Tein HA). Has anyone ran these wheels on the fronts before? If yes what coilovers where you running? Don't really want to use spacers. going for a flush fitment.

17x9 +20 cleared my fronts when I used to have D2's.

18x9 +20 shouldn't be much different, but even if you're trying to go for flush, that's not totally flush.

Throw on a Pep Boys special spacer. 6mm'ish. Perfect coilover clearance and flush.

You could try 3 or 5 mm spacers.

You can't run more camber?

I had to crank up the collar's on the springs to clear the 9+20's on my car.

does anyone have pics of the setup?

Specifically? Doubt it. Not all wheels are the exact same even if the specs match. 9" +20s of one brand may fit fine, others may not. Use a small spacer, move it out. It's not that hard.

small spacer
done and done.
