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

yep that way u ordered its def worth it . i was going to go with the -8 but guy at SSR told me they tried the SL with a 300ZX at rear and didnt clear ..so he told me go NR . maybe urs clear who knows. and im putting the wheels then fenders jusst in case i need to make them a bit wider.

Gabe, car is so hot.

HOT HOT.

Just got the car painted this week. Here are some pictures.

brainfood · 04-02-2009, 11:26 AM

I was running 18x10 -18 and 18x12 -30 on my koguchi's thats with 225/285 and minimal camber -4* front -2.5* rear.

This should have been done and painted already and me driving it but I had to rape it to do a "friend" a favor.

This is the car I put together in 2 weeks, should get paint this weekend hopefully.

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

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.

From a physics standpoint, a narrower rear stance is actually better for drifting, at least when the car is not making lots of power. I think Koguchi fenders are the way they are mainly for the novelty of being something different from the classic 50mm fenders.
And he probably runs tame lightweight wheels because he sold out to the pro drift race car mentality, haha.

OBEEWON · 04-02-2009, 01:39 PM

I dont like those Koguchi fenders anymore. Makes car look like cracker jack.

Its like a bad chick with lots -o- weave. You get her home and run your fingers through and you are like oh...it looks nice but no structural rigidity I can't pull on it. Here's $20, take a taxi home...

Maybe Im the only one who like all metal...

brainfood · 04-02-2009, 02:20 PM

My koguchi's feel sturdier then metal fenders and they only had 5 rivits in them

*handinpants* · 04-02-2009, 03:11 PM

SpdElemts, what overs are you running?

dub40sx · 04-02-2009, 06:38 PM

mah chit. Its pretty week compared to some but I like it. Ive got some other wheels in mind but am not sure if I wanna drop the money on um right now.

F: 215/40 on 17x9 +17 Stock fenders
R: 215/40 on 17x9 +7 <this is using a 10mm spacer Rolled fender

240sxdriftin · 04-02-2009, 09:45 PM

still working on getting my fitment worked out, sorry for the shitty pics, iphone ftl

i'm waiting on my new front fenders to arrive as well...but this is just a mock up for now, figured i'd share

18x10 effective -6 offset, i need to notch my coilovers still and give more negative camber and go lower, but its getting there

SoCal-s130 · 04-02-2009, 09:48 PM

New pic with new aero. What.

what rear bumper?

rules

Anyone have issues with rear wheels rubbing on the lower control arm?
Im running 18 x 12 +7 in the rear and the back of the wheel was in contact with the lower control arm depending on how much toe I had in the rear.

Anyone ever notch out the LCA?
Simple solution would be to run a 2mm spacer, but I dont have anymore clearance with my fenders and current tire set up.

How are you having problems with an s-chassis? I have a fucking FC and 18x12 -7 and I can fit them under my fenders like nothing. Are you rocking 30mm rears or something? Flex them out and run less positive in the rear. Done.

ROIDMONKEY · 04-03-2009, 09:11 AM

that give me hope. same fenders just different offset
can u please take a closer pic on the rear

Yeah, its on 30mm origins, trying to run as much + camber as possible as Ill be competing with this car, and I need to get as much tire as I can.
Fuck, who knows, Ill try a 2mm slip on today and see if I can rock it.
