anti-drift mode 240sx

275/40/R17 on 17x9 +6
315/35/R17 on 17x10.5 +24
Hoosier autocross tires







need to pull the rears out like 10 - 15mm!! fronts fit great though.

Rubber wrapped on Mustang Cobra rims? That looks tits on your car! I always expect good things reading your threads. Keep it up.

Good to see someone that associates decent offsets with more than just drifting... How are the D2s working out for you?

The D2's are working great, although I've recently swapped to the 7/5 kg springs. I'm now thinking that most of what I thought was "underdamped" with the 9/7 was simply tire deflection. With the Hoosiers on it feels rock solid on the 7/5's, so I may try swapping back to 9/7 before the autocross this weekend. The sidewalls on the Hoosiers are SOOO much stiffer than my Victoracers.... although they do seem more square on the rims than the 245 victos on 7.5's.

I really need to pull the rear or something, though. I might go at it with a hammer tomorrow or wednesday..... it's gonna be getting pretty hectic. Over winter it looks like I'll be investing in some widebody fenders :/

the other title i was thinking of was "steam roller edition 240sx"....

with a higher offset and a fender flare i could definitely get some 335's in there and maybe run 315 up front.... although the 275's fit so well I'll probably just run 275 all around next time. the 17x9's with a +6 offset are perfect.... with like 6 degrees of camber o.O

Ace -

How much room do you have between the rear tire and the coilover body???

I'd guess a 1/2" or so?

(Trying to estimate wider wheel fitment for my S14...I'd like to get my hands on a set of CCWs in similar widths.)

Oh yeah...and daytime pics of the whole car, dammit!

Thanks - Brian
