Another Wheel Fitment Thread

[Engmus]

Greetings Zilvia Crew,

First, I have read the above stickied suspension and Offset threads, and I did a fair bit of searching.

My vehicle is a 91 240sx, that has the following suspension modifications.

Front: KYB Shocks, RSR Race Springs, SPC Tension Rods, ISR Sway Bar, Moog End Links and Moog Ball Joints, New Wheel bearings, Prothane Bushing Kit, etc.

Rear: Prothane bushing kit, New Ball joints, KYB Shocks, RSR Down Springs, Etc

(You get the picture)

From my reading it seems a set of RUCA would be appreciated as the car is lowered, second my buddy is selling off his XXR 527's. The rears are 17x9.75 + 25, his fronts i'm unclear on but apparently wont fit stock suspension.

Two questions spur from this I haven't seen clear information on.

1. With a minimal drop of , Ride Height - F: -1.4, Ride Height - R: -1.2 should I invest in a set of RUCA's to maintain a good geometry suspension?

2. Considering the fact I dont have coils , and im not interested in buying a set if at all possible, what size wheel can I run safely up front? I'd like to avoid spacers and if possible i'd like to run a 17x something wheel.

I am prepared to roll my fenders.

Thanks for the help.

Sorry if i'm being obtuse, is that for all four corners or just the fronts you are recommending?

Do you feel like i'll need RUCA's given the drop?

Appreciate your feedback.

I was recommending for fronts

the problem with this question is that it has infinite variables

you can fit an 11" wide wheel in front......




if you wanna run 15* of negative camber



or you can run a 17x8 +35



but you won't have "fitment" like the cool kids are after these days


there are soooooooooo many variables to the equation, and at the risk of sounding like a dick, the wheel fitment threads on here have just about every single thing covered already.

No, Thank you. I have been reading most of the morning and afternoon on this. I come from an AE86 background and simply put, far fewer options and offsets are really run on those vehicles.

I dont plan to drift, I just want a good fitting wheel that wont rub\scrape etc without moving to coils.

I'll take your recommendation and try to find someone with a wheel the same size to test fit.

Again, Thank you.

17x9 +22 is a popular size for stock body from what I can remember.

Ruca are to get alignment back in spec when the stock eccentric bolts r maxed out. They don't change suspension geometry.I'd say go get a alignment and see where it puts u. I doubt u need ruca with that baby(little/not much)drop. The wheel fittment whore thread or the max tread thread is your friend. There is a lot that can be learned from them. Wheel fittment is a opinion. What I think looks good the next might think is gross. That being said 17x9 +22 is sunk as funk. Tire size has lot to do with fittment. To change suspension geometry thing like sub frame riser and drop knockles and roll center kits r needed.

[Engmus]

Thanks man.

I"ve been looking through those threads and so many different opinions and recommendations are suggested.

I'll keep looking for the right wheel size\tire size for what I want. I'll hold off on the RUCA until I get an alignment, its an easy enough install.
