17x8 +18 & 17x9 +19 on 240? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Stupid question, prolly been answered 1000 times but.

To have some Work VS-XX on a 240 in the following sizes.

17x8 +18 (215/45/17)
17x9 +19 (225/45/17)

What would be required to make them fit good? Fender roll?
Any coilover clearence issues? Tire size is ok

Srry for the probably repetitive question

nsn240 · 11-08-2007, 11:21 PM

You should be fine
maybe a little roll

***FaLKoN240*** · 11-08-2007, 11:51 PM

I'm running something similar to that on my car currently.

They're for sale too!

So with some minor rolling I shouldn't have a problem?

mulinmoua · 11-09-2007, 12:25 AM

yes, you will be fine with just a roll.

Yup, won't rub with a minor roll

EJ253 · 11-09-2007, 02:08 AM

you might now even need a roll depending on your camber.

but i'd roll it just to be safe.

240trainee · 11-09-2007, 06:46 AM

+ what everyone is saying.

roll, no pull

11-09-2007, 08:12 AM

im running 17x9.5 + 20 all the way around and i just needed a little roll

post pics lol

jspaeth · 11-09-2007, 09:27 AM

I am running 17x9 +17 and just needed a solid roll and maybe a bit of pull, even with 245/40/17

On an S14 btw

Also, I only have like 1.8* of camber in back, but don't rub, maybe bc I have my dampers turned up too high haha

As the wheel bounces up, it tends to gain camber (I think), so that helps a bit with rubbing when you hit bumps

B Love · 11-09-2007, 12:05 PM

Just a slight roll. stretch the tires a little just for looks and you should be fine

SimpleSexy180 · 11-09-2007, 12:09 PM

nah, just hammer your fenders in and your done.

***CrimsonRockett*** · 11-09-2007, 12:11 PM

^Second that.

I just crushed in that little lip inside the fenders and clearance was perfect.

17x9 +20 all around. Stock alignment.

B Love · 11-09-2007, 12:52 PM

If your just gonna get rid of the little lip on the onside I would still use a roller. Its just does it cleaner IMO

man, no clue how you guys fit a higher offset that +15 on 9.5's. what kind of coilovers do you have? i have 1mm clearance with my wheels and PSM coils...

markyboi · 11-09-2007, 04:43 PM

im running 17x9 +17 on a s13 coupe 235/40/17 all around

REAR: fits great with just a roll and camber is -2.8

FRONT: i have wide fenders +20mm with a -1 camber and it doesnt rub..

you will need a pull if you dont want too much camber

Why do you stretch your tires?

OptionZero · 11-09-2007, 10:39 PM

it saves the environment
