Bring this thread back!

I was actually just going through some bookmarks, getting info for my setup (17x8.5 +20 all around) and how it's going to fit on an S14 - threads like this can save a LOT of time and headache, and let you flaunt your baller status to the e-world

I am really surprised to see so many people with Tanabe Sevens! (I've got a set and rave about them, but as with anything in the 240sx community, it's rare to see lots of people rolling around with top-of-the-line anything).

So, if you've got any kind of nice wheels or fitment, post up!

next time around i plan going with a 225/40 up front to go a bit lower and space the fronts +5mm

[samms95s14se]

Big Bumpin this for the 2008! I figure this can still be useful since people could always use suspension info with pictures right? I also added in 12. Over Fenders Brand and mm Size along with 13. Tire Pressure to the list because that info can help people who track their car.

I started thinking that this thread can actually answer a lot of questions I never thought could be answered like you've seen these ones ..... "What coilovers are everyone using" and "Best Rucas, Tie rods, and so on to use" WELL DUH! If there are so many pages and pictures of what people are using what do you think could be the most popular to use? You could almost build stats out of it for fun?
Also if you have posted in here in the past and have a new setup add on to this with your new specs! And you get to whore out some pics too. Just trying to help control new threads and PM sent questions.

Not done with this one yet,

[s14dr1ft3r]

This thread should NEVER DIE! It's helpful if you're new to the S-chassis, new to zilvia, or been here a while but switched to a different S-chassis (like me). I'm bringing this back so I can see some more s13 setups (preferably 4-lug). I moved to Japan and switched from s14 zenki to 180sx.

AH AH AH AH STAYIN' ALIVE, STAYIN' ALIVE!

[enkei2k]

bumpppp~! so helpful...this is definitely better than searching thru 100+ pages of the other wheel threads

even though THIS is current, the exact same thread, and didnt need to be bumped.

Ain't nothing but B thang Baby...(Bump that is) for 2009! I almost forgot about my yearly thread revival!! Plus all of the missing information from the Wheel Whore Thread recently reminded me to bump this, and people not understanding about the slamness qualifications to post in that thread. So if you don't qualify now's your chance to post that setup in here!! Oh and this one is different and started two years earlier.

Formula Reminder: Just added # 14 Lip size front & back

[s15specR]

Need some more pics of a s14 rear running 18*9.5 (+20 to +15) with a 265/35/18 without over fenders, posted in pic request thread but got no hits.

Thanks in advance.

[gordonliu]

No pics ATM, but I will update

1) s13
2) megan street, RUCA, SPL tie rod ends, PDM spherical endlinks...
3) front: s14 se alloys 16/6.5 +40 with yokohama advan sports 205/45
REAR: z32 N/A alloys 16/7 +45 I think, with yokohama AVS ES100 245/45 (yes, they are too wide)

NOTE: z32 wheels DO NOT CLEAR my front suspension. the rim/tire touches the spring perch of the coilover IN THE FRONT. I am pretty sure that this would happen even if the tires were streched (like 195s).

I would need spacers for the front.

I say this because it may prevent someone making my mistake (trying to put z32 wheels on an s13 with z32 brakes).

4) given
5) +40 and +45 I believe
6) none
7) yokohama both
8)-.5 FRONT and -1.5 rear (did not adjust the front yet).

NOTE if I ran more agressive camber in the front, it would make it even more difficult to fit the z32 wheels on the front, as the tilted wheel would impact the coilover to an even greater degree.

9) the current set up DOES clear z- brakes and coilovers.

note that z32 wheel FRONT will not clear COILOVERS on an s13.

10) none
11) none at the moment
12) none
13) not sure, but between 35 and 40.
14) not sure

[shreeveco]

this thread is sick. but, rather than just bumping it, i guess i'll give a little too. i know, i know, they're sportmaxes and they suck. but, i promise i didn't know everyone had them until soon after i got them. (southern oregon might as well be a cave) anyway, on with the specs...

1. S13/S14/S15 = s13 (all stock metal)

2. Suspension Setup/Brands = megan street coilovers w/ megan rucas r - maxed f - still not low enough

3. Wheel/Rim Size front & back = f/r - 15x8

4. Brand of Wheel/Rim = xxr

5. Offset front & back = f/r +-0

6. Spacer Size = f - none (need 5-10mm) r - 30mm

7. Tire Size/Brand front & back = f/r - 195/60 bridgestone potenza re92

8. Alignment Specs = f - -2.5 r - -4

9. Clear Zbrakes & what size brakes = won't clear z brakes, but will clear q45 front brakes

10. Fender Modifications: rolled/pulled = f - hammered flat r - rolled and pulled

11. Picture.. from the side & down the side = don't have any with this setup directly from side





12. Over Fenders Brand & mm Size = none

13. Tire Pressure front & rear Track/Daily Driving = track[f - 35 r - 60] dd [f - 35 r - 35]

14. Lip size front & Back = not enough (3.5 inches)
