Too much offset for drifting? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

i have 17x9.75 +25 fronts with 235/45 on my s14. I have 30mm bolt on spacers to go with them because it hits coilover locking collar without. I have been thinking about scrub radius and such, and do you guys think this is going to be too much offset with the spacers on?
I am talking about for drifting. It keeps running through my head as it might make it harder to initiate and in turn hurt me more than if I went with lets say 10mm and extended studs.

What Coils??

I have some Brand new Megan Lower Extension Brackets that I thought i needed on my old wheel setup

$45 shipped and they are yours......if you have megan's??

as far as the question goes...No, but depends on how much Angle You would like to achive. With those sizes i would imagine your on Coils with no other mods for that like tie rods,etc right?

No. If your gonna use modified knuckles you'll obviously have to bang the fender well. If you have problem rubbing the firewall adjust your caster to make it less. If thats not appealing then buy legit low offset wheels the change radius or just cut the fender well out.
