Phixius Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Test fitted some supercharged xterra wheels on the 521 today. 17x8 et40 here are the findings so far.. Fronts with just the rim without tires. Any tire size suggestions? Hits the swaybar when turning left and the brake lines turning right. and the rears.. Hits the frame and spring perch. Not sure if its hitting more on the perch or the frame. the gap. So Ive learned that s/c xterra wheels dont just bolt right up... spacers, grinding, bending... EDIT: Should this be under the wheels tires section? Quote Link to comment
socaldatsun Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 You could probly just solve it buy getting longer studs and 1" spacer? they look prety sick man, whats the offset? Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Those are never going to work. Probably better send them my way. :D Ya, its going to take some work to make those fit. Quote Link to comment

jrock4224 Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 just use some washers to determine the amount of spacing your need then have them cut out ....or just run the weashers i here they produce some sweet wheel shake...oh and my eskies rub rim on sway bar at lock and tire on inner fender ....i fixed this by not turning as sharp....my lazy ass shold probably readjust the steering stops at some point ...

Phixius Posted May 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 actually got around to putting these things on... To make these fit and be this low, I had to take my 4" blocks off and run 3" blocks with 720 4x4 leaf springs. 3/4" spacer and longer ARP wheel studs. While I was at it I also installed a 3.88 gear set. Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 The ARP studs can you tell me the part number please and did you have to drill your hubs or are they same diameter as stock.I like the wheels and as for 17" yea you can go with a 3" block only same problem with my truck.When i put the 18" wheels in the back i could go 4" blocks.Also what tires did you stretch on those wheels.I got 7" wide all the way around and put 235 in the rear and 225 up front.

Tristin Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 You can get extended studs through FutoFab as well... as long as the studs are the same diameter as 510 ones. I have a set I havent installed yet... Im thinking of doing it if/when I do rear disks. Quote Link to comment

Phixius Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 The tires are 215/40 17 on a 8" rim. The ARP studs are a 100-7701, they slide right in the stock hole, only thing you need to do is grind a flat spot on the knurl like the stock 521 stud. Jrock -- I dont know if I should even acknowledge your posts... I like how when I was standing right next to you, giving you fuel for you to bash me with, you couldent even make out your own sentences when you tried proof reading... Quote Link to comment
