So I have an s13 hatch and tried doing my 300zx brake upgrade and 5 lug conversion and everything went extremely smooth until i went to put my 300zx tires on. I have 225/50/16 on the front and 245/50/16 for the rear. The rubber of the tire rubs against the strut. I have kyb's w/ a 1.5 inch drop. Will 10mm spacers work? Will I need spacers for the rear? I want to keep my rims as tucked as possible, any help would be great! Thanks guys.

they rub because those wheels have crazy high offsets

use like washers or something to space the wheel out a bit and measure the washers you need to clear it and then order that size or slightly bigger

i think a 10mm spacer would work but just double check the size you need with them spacers

why would you want it to be so sunken?

i just don't want the wheels rubbing the fenders. i got some 10mm spacers and now the wheel studs are too short for comfort so now i need longer wheel studs. . . .let the fun begin! i just don't want my car to look cholo with the rims sticking out and rubbing the fender wells. I'm almost sure ill have to roll the rear fender well but haven't checked fitment yet.
