I am going to buy a set of Megan racing coilovers for my 93 s13 coupe, assuming that they will fit fine. Since I dont have any crazy wheel sizes, Im assuming that I will be ok. The wheels on my car are made by eagle alloy... Came with the car when I bought it. They are 15 inchers, and Im assuming stock width because i have 205 tires on em, and they fit like stock. Should I post the clearace with the stock springs, or measure offset? If measureing offset is the only option, how do I do this?

thanks!

Take a wheel off and read all markings on the backside of the spokes.Report all info here.They're probably very similar to stock and will fit fine.

Ok, just took a look. dammit. It says 630 15x6. Is the 630 the offset? Would they fit? Im running 205/60/15 tires in the back, and am planning on going with 205/55/15 tires up front. Have I been running tires that are too wide? I want grip, but I also want good handling. And with the coilovers, the wheel/tire setup is gonna be my weakest link huh?. Just gimme whatever info/advice you have about all of this. the more the better. thanks alot!

630 isn't the offset.usually most wheels say "ETxx" and that's the offset.I cleared coilovers with 7" wide +35 and 205/55-15 easy.

If you are close to that then nothing to worry about.

Dunno about 16's, but I have 17x8 +35 all the way around on mine and they clear my D2 coilovers. Not by much though.
