I thought he even stacked spacers. But, I might have misread something, or completely made it up in my head lol.

did some playing around this last week, wanted to lower it more but i was lazy, so just drove it over a small block so it would tuck, i like the look.

ended up leaving it like this though

how does your front tire not rub the hell out of your fender when you turn? do you track your car at all? my tires are nowhere near that close to my front fender and even i have rubbing issues when driving. is there some special tactic that i overlooked when tucking front wheels?

that shit looks hot though, that is essentially the look i want if it is feasible without destroying my fender

ROIDMONKEY · 04-01-2009, 07:31 AM

looks good gabe

smellslikecurry · 04-01-2009, 09:12 AM

i just looked through this entire thread and noticed a lot of people running 215/40 rears on 17x9s, i want to run that on my fronts and was wondering what tire size you guys would recommend for the rears.

im running
240sx hatch
17x9 + 0 fronts with origin 20mm overs
17x9 -15 rears stock fenders (waiting for origin 30mm overs)

i want to run a decent stretch

SoSideways · 04-01-2009, 10:08 AM

^ 215/45/17 in the rear if you want 215/40/17 front.

That way you won't have wheel gap.

So... can anyone else with a 9.5 -3 front fitment post up how you guys are not rubbing the rubber grommet on the driver's side fender well at full lock?

I know there has been some solutions posted (was quite involved), but I'd like to see some other tactics used by someone else to solve that problem?

240sxdave · 04-01-2009, 10:21 AM

rim fitment

17x9 0 215/40
18x10 +10 225/40
stock fenders

never officially "tracked" the car but it has been on many multiple hour spirited driving sessions and it does rub on hard turns with breaking but it doesnt bother me too much. The tires actually wear a bit and you get a ton less rubbing. My fenders are still fine

Daves fitment is boss, and I usually dont like rim tuck.

240sxdave · 04-01-2009, 05:11 PM

lflkajfj12123 · 04-01-2009, 05:16 PM

That is what I always think as well.

And tucking is hot right now. I want to tuck, but my mother tucking fenders are pulled, not sure what the tuck I will end up doing with them.

Tuck tuck tuckin' on heaven's door.

SlideAlliance · 04-01-2009, 08:20 PM

Does he even still have that car?

Matej · 04-01-2009, 08:31 PM

He just got it running again recently, I believe.

I snapped that pic 1 week before storing it... dont flame on fitment, I was so happy getting them after 6 months...

New rims are on order. I mesured up my car and came up with :

SSR SP1 in touring gold
17x10 +6 (HD)
18x11.5 -8 (SL)

255 and 275.

I shoulnd be running any camber with this set-up and it's "supposed" to be hella flush with the outer lip.

Kit is going to be type-x.

I had the xd9's on stock body.

And btw, Koguchi runs 265's out back.

ROIDMONKEY · 04-01-2009, 09:49 PM

u waited 6 months for the koguchi ?
i ordered mines last week from RHD japan. they told me 3 weeks to make them and 4-5 ays shipping total of a month
lets see if if true!
my SSR SP1 rears are 18x11.5-21 NR 148mm lip

Well, I paid 1200 CDN for all (front and rears). Including free shipping in a container my friend got me. To me, it's well worth it :P I know exactly how much you paid for them overfenders, they aint cheap either!

18x11.5 -21 will fit, but probably not with a 295. I mesured up and at -26 offset, it sticks out like 1.5". You'll have to run some stretch and camber to make a 295 fit under there.

On the 18x11.5 -8 i took, i still have the ~6" lip and it clears 300zx calipers, so i'm happy

drftwerks · 04-01-2009, 11:29 PM

you guys are missing the point of the fenders or at least what i think koguchi is achieving with his setup.

the way i see it (someone correct me if im wrong)

he is using light wheels with spacers (fat or stacked)
decent size tires

and he is killing it, i bet he did it this way to be able to run less power but still be competitive.

all you guys who are going to be running the huge wheels and tires, are going to need so much more power to even get near anything he is able to do with a 265(i dunno exact size)

but maybe your car is going to be for something else.

i dunno
i dont even have a 240
i dont even have a nissan
wtf
what is this place.
this is not rx7 club.

REVGASM · 04-01-2009, 11:33 PM

maybe i should get rid of my professors........

Thx Roidmonkey..

SOap gun,
yea, I inspired myself on his fitment and style..back when my car was blue, now that i look at it again from the rear they do look a hell of alot a like exept for wheels..same fucking tailights too ..lol
I dont know and dont care what the issue was with him and some of the peeps on here, I know is that he was all out with his shit, and I love that ...no lukewarm shit..either all hot or all cold!

Matej. LOL at tuck tuck tuck..

By the weay, just took a bunch of picture with (handinpants ) hidef camera, all these prior ones were with my cellphone, so ill post some decent pics up finally..

jimmytango00 · 04-02-2009, 12:52 AM

some better pics of the rear lowered an extra inch

SoCal-s130 · 04-02-2009, 12:54 AM

You aint down to go another inch.

jimmytango00 · 04-02-2009, 12:59 AM

you're are right, im not, haha. I think this is just right, not to low and not to high, front looks high because of the chopped up fender.
