clearing kts coilovers

[holmeS13]

just put on the kts coilovers and need to know what size wheels it can clear. looking at 17x9 something around there. the car is lowered the full 2.5 inches front and rear.

If its an s13 like your name implies, go with 17x9 +20 all the way around. Run 235/40/17's.

Are you 4 or 5 lug?

Werd^^^^^

KTS can go a lot lower than a 2.5 inch drop.

they can go lower? was 4 lug but converted it to the 5. its the only way to go. are the 17x9 a good choice. i really want something that works good and really don't know what. setting it up for drifting. thanks for the help

[whiterps13]

Well, the only reason to convert to 5 lug is for wheel selection.

17x9's all the way around is a great size for stock fenders. Naed240sx is running the setup I suggested, and hes simply got a minor fender roll.

What wheels do you plan on going with?

I have a roll and slight pull front and rear.

[whiterps13]

I didnt know you pulled 'em.

But your car is rediculously lower than anyones.

Ehh, it wasn't that low. I did have all of the front coilover collars touching, but that's not very low. I could have removed two of them and gone lower.

At the moment my car is sitting about where your's is, because I needed more clearance after increasing castor (although after bashing my inner fenders more, I could go low again). I'm waiting untill I get SPL tie rods to lower it back down.

[holmeS13]

as for the wheels i really don't know. any suggestions, nothing exspensive. as for the fender roll what is the best way to do that. is there a tool for it? so how low can you get the coilovers. looking at mine with the collars on mabey 3 1/4.

[whiterps13]

Yeah theres a tool, but you can also do it with a baseball bat and some precision engineering (haha).

Search.

As far as the wheels, obviously 5zigen FN's are going to be your cheapest wheels in that size. Check out splparts.com for those. Other than that, most decent wheels in that size are going to be pricey. Whats your budget?

[holmeS13]

okay looking at the 5zigen FN and they don't have a 5 lug wheel with +20 offset only the 4 lug have those. so what do you recomend. For 17x9 they have +15, +35, +43. As for the budget $1000 would be the most i can spend now.

UGHHHHH. My god, just search man. All of this has been covered before. 17x9 is such a popular size it's not even funny. Get the +15s all around. The +35s won't clear the front strut.
