Cuts metal like mad Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 not really... I don't even know what kind of flares are on the car. If you don't either, then a pic may be in order... Quote Link to comment
SpooF Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 BRE flares my whole front is fiberglass as for the rear just flares and had to cut rocker Quote Link to comment
Cuts metal like mad Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 you can fit a lot of wheel under those, theres guys here running 16x8 0et, and tucking easily... I think you can go as far as 15x8 -10 (maybe more) and still tuck (at least in the rear). The lower the offset, the more problems with rubbing the chassis on hard turns too... now search...

SIXTY-NINE-DIME Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 i heard i can't use +0 with stock struts i have to use 280zx struts true? and it all depends on how wide. i know for sure that you can fit 7-8 inch wide rims with 0 offset. probably even more. just check out that link, it has every thing. Good luck! Quote Link to comment
SpooF Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I would like to run 8 wide +0 all around but if I lowered my car on stock strut won't the strut hit my tires thanks I been read that link and just wanted to know what some of you guys think Quote Link to comment
SIXTY-NINE-DIME Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 no it shouldnt rub at all. it might rub the body when you turn but you have flares right? so it shouldnt rub. my buddy has 7.5 0 offset on his wagon with stock struts and they dont come close to rubbing at all. norcaldime is running 15x8 0 offset i believe.

SpooF Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Yeah I have flares ok so rubbing only when turning hard thanks for the help Quote Link to comment
XeroX Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 15x8 0 offset will not rub front suspension... Maybe norcaldime will chime in? But ive been in his dime, no issues...and he doesnt have flares either :cool: just massive camber in the rear...front clear the fenders with a LIL bit of rubbing but u dont have to worry about that...he doesnt have camber plates or he would just add a lil camber to the front... 15x8 0 = u are fine...

SIXTY-NINE-DIME Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 go 15x9 =] fill those fenders Quote Link to comment
