What're you doing with the TEs? ^_^

[mr_240sx]

TE's are for track use and VS SS are for street.

Jeebus those are ginormous! They belong on a 350z, would look weird on an s-chasis.

The rear fenders are rolled and pulled, and wheels are 18x10.5 +16 with a 255/35/18. Camber is around -3.45deg.

The way the front fits (looks-wise) is perfect, except i had to relocate the wiring harness and I also had to remove both inner fender liners. Sometimes on really hard aggressive turns it rubs in front, and I want to avoid that somehow.

The rear is a different story, the gap is too large to look perfect yet it still rubs up inside the fenders on really hard bumps or turns. And the camber is killing the inside of my tires. I have 275s that fill the gap perfectly, but rubs like 100% of the time so I would have to figure out how to fit those. How are you guys running like creditcard clearance and not rubbing? I want that look and fitament but without the rubbing....what do I need to do?

not low enough, and WAYYY too much camber for the fitment, the rubbing your hearing is prob the inside of the wheels hitting your strut or a control arm, drop it more, get an alignment and if that dosnt work get smaller tires. but im pretty sure ur rubbing from too much - camber, my Z did the same thing on the driver side (-3.1) with a quick tweak to -2.1 fixed everything. (meister setup)

Too much camber? If i take any camber out the tire will rub inside the fender even worse....and making it lower will do the same thing. I do kinda want it a bit lower if possible, but I didnt think it was....

The rubbing I hear is 2 things, one is the outside tire sidewall rubbing inside rear fender well, and then sometimes the inside lip of my wheel somehow rubs on the coilover threads, shaving metal off the wheel. If i get any smaller tire the gap will look even more crappy in the rear. I just am not sure.

[SoSideways]

Are you sure that you've setup your suspension to get more neg camber as it compresses in the rear?

Jack your car up off the ground, take your coilover off, and put a jack underneath the wheel.

Jack the wheel up and move it up and down the entire range and see what it's doing.

[xdumbxguyx]

jimmytango run 225/35/18 you wont regret it!
225 40 rubs a lot on top of the wheel well

rim hitting coilover is too much neg. camber. and get smaller sidewalls or more narrow tires...pick one, you have no other options.

[khmer1]

That shit looked weak on my FWD G20...

Maybe if you run like huge balloon tires with some spacers or something...

Otherwise, wack.

Those wheel sizes were cool maybe in like 2000?

[ThatGuy]

^ A bigger wheel is what's needed.

[khmer1]

^^^yah paying for it or giving me some thanks man appreciate it need it shipped to md 20782

but if yah not i still need some info on spacing it get it near the fender but not sticking out winter rims ftw

Don't feed the mods.

Dish, can't take. These words are just a warning... take heed.

[ThatGuy]

^yeah, sure Falkon, whatever.



khmer, if you're going to type a comeback to something I've said, please take the time to make it understandable. Thanks.

If they are just "winter rims" why even bother trying to make them flush? Especially something as thin as 6.5" wide. Now don't get me wrong, I can understand thin wheels for snow and ice, after all Rally cars run thin wheels for snowy courses. Of course, they are also running studded wheels, so they want to penetrate the snow and grip into the ground below it. So, unless you are driving on unplowed, dirt roads all the time (which you may be, nothing wrong with that) then I'd think you would something wider then pizza cutters under your car. Thus my answer, wider wheels is what you need. Other than that I am just baffled why you would buy something even smaller than stock wheels.
