adjusting suspension to fit 17x9.5 wheels - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I am in the market for a set of wheels for my S14. One question I have though is how much adjustment will I have with my stock suspension?

I was planning on getting a set of 17x9.5 +12 but with only KTS coilovers, how well am I going to be able to adjust my camber and toe to accomidate the wider, low offset wheels.

The specs would be:

17x9.5 +12
235/40/17 tires
Z32 front brakes
KTS coilovers
F/R fenders rolled

stock suspension? good luck in the rear man, i used -3.5 to fit 17x9.5 +17 and i have full rear multilink

you're going to need RUCAs as the minimum

oh, and ride height matters, if you wanna go superlow...time for fender mods

I know with my KTS coilovers that I can adjust the camber up front, but I was worried about the rear suspension. I'm assuming you can adjust camber a little with stock RUCA's but would it be enough to fit the +12's? As for fender mods I already did a roll on the front and rears, but now it looks like I either need to go the pussy route and go with a higher offest, or order up some RUCA's. Hmmmmm, which way to go......RUCA's.

hell fucking no

IIRC stock suspension lets you adjust less than 1 degree

dont get a higher offset, just get your fenders rolled and get some RUCAs

the zilvia way is to buy wheels and then make them fit
