co.dime Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 i have a 72 510 2dr. i put on 15/8 wheels with 0 offset and now my tire is rubing the fender. im looking at buying some air adjustable shocks for the rear. but they are for a 4dr. will these fit my 2dr? if not anybody know where i can get a set of new springs? think the rear is just sagging to much.

I had trouble with 15x7 0 offset rubbing on the fender until i rolled the fenders and pulled/stretched them, what size tire? is it the front or rear rubbing or both is your rear crossmember slotted for camber and toe? how much camber in the front?

XeroX Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Tire sizes would help... Def would want some camber and a nice stretch on the rubbar Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I have heard of 195s on 15x8 et0 work on the back of a sedan. Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 , It'll be VERY tight in the back with hella camber, rolled fenders, and streched tires..... They will always rub on the front..... .. 280zx struts would help a little ....... camber plates..... adjustable LCAs ..... stretched tires...... pulled fenders Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 buy 15x6 or the correct 15x7s depending on type of strut you have. 15x8 you really have to have multiple things correct to make this good which mean more work and or money. benn cheap to buy the correct rim. sell the rims to a 280Z guy. 510s dont look good with Jacked up back ends.

co.dime Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 i have 205/50/15s on the rear. and the air shocks worked pretty good...havent had a chance to do a good test drive but they clear now untill i can get the fenders flared a little more. its sitting a little high. the front are 195/50/15 and they fit great but i want to lower the front some.

ggzilla Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 2-dr and 4-dr use the same springs. They weigh practically the same. Quote Link to comment
XeroX Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Curious to know if you have rear coilovers if a 15x8 with 0 offset will hit the "coilovers" Guess you got it to work with the bags, so im assuming no...hmmmm, didnt think about that till now... Quote Link to comment

INDY510 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 . I have Ermish QA1 rear coilovers,,, ,, ,, and 16x8 +10 wheels with no spacers, , , , and nothing hits the rear coilovers at any height They even fit when the rear rotors were off .... . . so that would be around a 16x8 +30?
