McRussellPants · 08-21-2006, 06:07 PM

McRussellPants Back in da fray after 7 weeks of hell.

After I fix the no RUCA situation I'll be spacing 15-20mm so don't mind the wolf skull fender pull. Rucas will aslo fix bindy rear suspension for more lowness.

*Yuri* · 08-21-2006, 06:17 PM

What color did you end up going? Looks clean.
And why the small wheels up front?

Good thing your in tx or I might think your trying to copy my style

I too still need to put my ruca on, lol that and drop it two inchs in the back. Running same sizes for the same reasons 18x9=poo 18x10 not a good idea if you want to be able to fully turn on a s13.

its a light lavender.

The sun was going down with a tree casting a shadow on it, normally during the day in good light it all looks like the color it is over the gas cap.

17s up front since 18x9 XDs look trashcan and I didn't think I could swing 18x10 up front with S14 FLCAs.

You can def swing 18x10 up front with s14 lca's. That extra inch and the right offset youll be just fine.. I run 17x10 + 10 with a 5mm spacer/s14 lca's/30mm overs/ -3.5 and no problem.
Youll need to do some hammering and hide the wires above the fenders.
You could also shave your bump stops a little for some extra clearence.

18s are different.

To be low on 18s on an S13 you have to stretch and sink or have retarded spring. Id imagine the only way I could clear 18x10 +0 that it would have to be would be with a 215/40 or something wack like that. 18x9 I could clear with a small tire, but 18x9 XDs look wack.

Its impossible to keep wide 18s out of the front on S13, lindsay breaks/broke tie rods/has tire rammin into everything, D-money is running 2in of preload and his tires still clearance into the fender. Fukada shows on 18x10 up front but still runs 17x9 on the track.

18s up front is rough, and I didn't want to deal with it and I like the way 17/18s look.

Understood. Ive bent one jic rod already...

jookybanana · 08-22-2006, 07:36 PM

18x10 up front would be too extreme for streetable s13, its possible though
even 9.5 has minimal clearance on everything
i hear so much about people breaking tie rods, is it actually rubbing the tie rods, or is it that 18" put too much stress on the tie rods?

wrong

225/45/17 is like exactly the same rolling diameter as 225/40

lindsay broke shit cause he would hit his firewall on lock which is easily fixed with caster

darnells wouldnt rub if he had more camber

i dont know who fukada is so i have no retort for that

also big hammer > fender tub

LOL my rep "chmercer is a glorious beacon of light"

TheSquidd · 08-23-2006, 01:08 PM

Alright, well here's a question for you lowies.

My front end rubs on 17x9 +19 MB gay wheels with 215/45/17's when I drift on anything but a flat surface. It rubs well enough to fuck up a drift, and I have an event coming up I don't want to be dealing with this AT the track. Soo...

Should I:

A. get 40 series tires (205? No cheap 215/40/17's I can find)
B. Lift the front up a bit

C. Just keep sledging the wheel wells (it doesn't seem to be doing anything anymore. I think it's sledged out.)
D. Adjust my tension rods? Should this be done by a professional alignment shop or should I just do it ghetto style like everything else.
E. Eat crap and die.
