I have a brand new set of MB Battle wheels on my 92 240sx and they stick out about 2 inches. The wheels are 17x9.5 +15 with 235/40/17 tires and my car has KW coilovers and Kazama adjustable arms. It is lowered about 1.5 inches.

I don't have any pictures right now of how the car looks but I would just like to hear what suspension settings I should try. I have been searching but I have not been able to find any specific information on the needed suspension specs.

If anybody has any suggestions or know someone with similar specs....let me know....I will keep searching.

Basically roll your fenders as much as you can (flare them if you want to run less camber) Then camber in alot lower the car ALOT then camber out until you have about a credit cards worth of clearance

They are the +15 offset as well all the way around 17x9.5 235 40 series tire

OM3GA...I tried to catch up with you on zilvia. Do you know how much camber you ran in the front and rear?

I was thinking -2 front -2 rear with a good rolling of the fenders.
