Laecaon Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 ZX struts up front? Quote Link to comment
co.dime Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 ZX struts up front? not sure, just got the car a few days ago, and its been snowing and cold here, so i havent looked at it. may just be stock setup. i read the wheel fitment guid on the forum and from what i could tell they should fit. but im just unsure.

Laecaon Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Not sure of the back on the sedans, but you might have a bit of poke in the front. ZX struts pull the wheels inboard about 3/4" or 19mm. This is 15x7 +20 on stock struts: Quote Link to comment
co.dime Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 thanks, looks really good...how much have you lowered the car? Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Not my car lol, wish it was. That car can be found here:http://community.ratsun.net/topic/26747-the-greengoon-build-thread/ Quote Link to comment
co.dime Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 he dropped it a lot. think it said hes got air ride. well i ordered the wheels, got em pretty cheap. guess ill post pics if they fit...if not i guess ill be selling a new set of wheels... Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 not quite air ride. Front is basic coilovers on cut 510 struts. Back has de-arched leafs, with adjustable air shocks. These are shocks that change height based on how much air is in them (basically they like to be at the same PSI) Quote Link to comment

co.dime Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 just an update 15x8 with 0 offset and 205/50/15 will fit in the rear. as long as u dont plan on driving it, then it rubs. guess the bodyshop is in order, gotta go flared fenders atleast for the rear. Quote Link to comment

SoCaLKiDz Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Hahahah dude roll or get flairs just for the back. IMO it would look so dope! hahah WeRd lol Quote Link to comment
Jesse C. Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 To run those rim with a stock body you have to "Tub" the rear wheel wells. That means trimming out the inner wheel well where it meets the arch. Once you do that they will fit on a stock body, on the rear! As for the front, you are going to need spacers if you are running the ZX struts and get the 15X7 for the fronts, otherwise they will stick out. Quote Link to comment

I'm running 15x8 -2 offset in the rear with 195/50/15's with no problems. Is yours rubbing on the fender? I still have about 1/2 inch of clearance away from the fender. Quote Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Box the fenders. You can stuff some big ass wheels in their. Quote Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 This car is running 18/9" wheels Quote Link to comment

I still have about 1/2 inch of clearance away from the fender. its rubbing right on the outer edge of the tire. i have 205/50/15 on the rear. i may just need new suspension on the rear to keep it stiff enough from rubbing. whats a good place to get parts.
