i need a little help here. I have 2 sets of winter wheels, i have stock se wheels or z32 wheels. I have PBM coils and 5 mm spacers but the wheels still hit the coils. I dont want to do extended lugs and im not sure what size space i need to get either wheels to fit. I dont want to order something to small again but at the same time i dont want to go retarded big. Any info on what size space i need would be great, i searched and didnt really find anything.

your stock se wheels rub the coilovers?

remember that skinnier wheels/tires are better in winter

Ive never had problems running SE wheels with coils.

When snow is concerned, skinnier is better.
