I was wondering if anyone has any ideas!

[morserep]

I have a 1990 coupe i would like to know if anyone has ideas on nice rims and if there is a way to adjust the camber properly without taking it to a shop? If anyone can give me any ideas as to what would look nice on my ride and if i should do a silvia conversion or not.

I would like to do an s13 front and put some nice wheels, i have a set for sale!you mayble interested and also get some RUCAS, (rear upper control arms), that would be the best way to adjust your carmer, and doing it right.

You have a nice clean car. Customize it to your own tastes and no one else's. Don't be a sheep.

Welcome to NICO.

welcome to nico man.

I'd say get anything 17x9 +20 all around or something... with some 225/45 or something along those lines.

as far as camber, camber plates up front and rear upper control arms in the rear. Just note that if you change your camber, you'll need to change your toe too, because one change affects the other, and vice versa.

Welcome to NICO! I see you're from Yuba City. I use to live there myself. I went to Bridge Street School and Gray Ave School. Moved away in 1994 and moved back in 2001. Nothing special now, but I was one of the first one back then in the area to do a SR swap. You ever see a pretty fast white MR2 rolling around in Yuba City? That's my cousin Peter.

You're lucky to already have a 5 lug conversion. Your wheel choices are endless compared to those of us still with 4 lugs. Listen to what Adrian says about the toe change after changing your camber out back. Messed up toe settings is worse than messed up camber settings. S13 Silvia conversions are nice but I don't think it's necessary to make your car look nice. Just keep it clean and simple.

naw i have not seen the mr2 but im out of town alot. I want to get a front bumper like yours but have not seen any really. I do wanna customize my car to my own style just looking for ideas all around cause im pretty new to working with cars in general like i know basic things still learning but i have some work done to it under but my camber is messed up. It wears my tires down alot I just have not had time to go take it to a shop cause i need alignment done and my rear arm i do not know how to adjust properly.

for that more rounded front end (after 1990 S13), just go to a junk yard or look for some one doing a silvia front end swap... or just keep it piggy, looks clean as is for a white car... good luck with your build.

[Xdisaster240sX]

IMO keep the piggy, everyones doing Silvia front ends now.Get a nice oem lip for it. Rims are all on what kind of taste you have.

My buddy had a white wingless coupe with a oem silvia front, and a 5lug with the stock S14 Se wheels and i LOVED the way it looked.

idk why but S14 Se wheels look great on White coupes

[morserep]

ya i plan to do silvia front end cause i really like how it looks ive seen one black one that just made me start liking it so much i like rims like the ones i have and like the gold ones in the guy obove a few post's. Im kinda bummed out cause other day my hood latch broke and hood flew up on highway hit my sun roof so now i need new sunroof and hood and brackets and latch so that really sucks plus i gotta repaint it. I plan to smoke out the tail lights. and fix my camber i will post a pic of my engine i wanna make a custom turbo for my car one that actually runs under neath cause here in cali to many rules i would like to have my car a daily driver with turbo but i would not be able to i do not think.

what adjustable suspension do you have now?

If you've just got camber and toe bolts and non adjustable arms... I'm gonna just say go get an alignment dude... I mean its not that much. what like $60 or something?

Otherwise, if you have adjustable arms, you can seriously do your own alignment. I haven't had a real deal alignment in like a year, I kind of eyeballed my suspension, and so far I haven't had any unusual tire wear (yeah, I know I need a real alignment, but I'm still waiting on other suspension components before I go).

Let me also add that toe affects tire wear more than camber does. So your toe angle might be more of a concern than your camber.

[morserep]

i really havent got to look at the brand or anything but i know its adjustable i bought the car off a guy like that but i guess i can try to adjust the camber on my own i just never tryed before. This might be a hella stupid question but like i said in beginning im new to even some basic things about cars what is the toe?All i really know is i have tein EDFC coilovers

[AZ89two4Tsx]

^ Well, camber as you know is the wheel tilting/leaning up or down. Toe is it basically pivoting left or right. Kinda like you can pivot your foot. I know it's not that awesome of an explination but maybe it helps.

About the wheels? What's your budget? If it's tight, I suggest some oem 350z wheels because you already have it converted to 5lug, which is a plus. Clean coupe btw.

[morserep]

well soon my budget will be all my money i will be dumping everything i make into it in tell it is finished. so really price is not an issue. Just have to wait till paydays and what not. I think i understand what you were saying i looked some stuff up on internet i think my toe is adjusted ok I believe its my camber that is really bad because it shows bad wear on the inside of tires i just bought all new tires and i really need to get this adjusted before it shreds theses up.
