I wasn't aware that s14 coilovers had different clearance inside than s13 coilovers, which is x8+30 more or less...

Anyway, 17x7.5 +30 in front is equal to 17x8+24... which is A LOT OF ROOM.

Stock se rims, which clear 30mm 300zx brakes & coilovers, are x6.5+40, which clear by a mile & are only 3mm more clearance than x7.5+30.

If that doesn't clear, I don't know what will.

If your car is too low, the coilover clearance becomes severely diminished.

You shouldn't be using stock 350Z tire sizes, fyi.
