Uber Deaf One Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 I have some 195/50/15s on there right now... I am pretty sure the tire is rubbing the strut a little bit? I'll have to take another look tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
jdmdime Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 it should clear the zx struts fine... If you have coilovers it might rub on the adjusters but I doubt it. Quote Link to comment
jdmdime Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 and im running zx rear studs up front. Its fine with a 10mm spacer... Quote Link to comment
jdmdime Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 14x7 -9 185/55r14 zx struts up front and 10mm spacers. Quote Link to comment
FiveSeventyZee Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 are you sure those are -9 not +9?because if you had -9 with a 10 mm spacer that would mean that your totaloffset would be -19 and backspacing would be under 3 inches. that would leave rim sticking out beyond the fender. if the wheels are +9 then the offset after spacers would be -1 which I would've thought would still leave rim hanging out past the fender.

jdmdime Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 yes im sure. Ill get you pictures of backspace and offset stamp... I maxed out my tein camber plates Quote Link to comment
jdmdime Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Btw, a 7" -19 has a 3.25" backspace. Quote Link to comment

FiveSeventyZee Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 yeah I just got confused on my math I guess Quote Link to comment
AZhitman Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 OK, so are 15x8 +25 completely out of the question on a Dime? Quote Link to comment
jdmdime Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Yes. It will rub all over the place. Too much backspace... Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 . If you ever want to fix the rear camber/toe ... . then don't run a 15x8 in the back ..... .. . if you like negative camber go with a 15x8 +0 to +12 ... you need "hella" small tires to run zeros though . .. . . <_< Quote Link to comment

71ka510 Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 thats chris' old copper dime...... those wheels didnt really fit..... stretched and flared the shit out of the rears and way too munch camber, car barely gripped when turning...... Quote Link to comment
AZhitman Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Yeah, I want "normal" fitment. I don't mind rolling the fenders, but that's as far as I'll go on this particular car. Quote Link to comment

I don't mind rolling the fenders, but that's as far as I'll go on this particular car. 3 biggest fitment factors: - Rear crossmember: slotted, adjustable, or stock camber??? - Front struts: 510 struts, 280zx struts, or other??? - Tire size: Streched, slightly small, perfect, too big baloon tires??? All of these factors change the offset of your wheels by inches not millimeters .... :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment
