[Charlie240sxt]

Ok i am goin to go for the sportlines to drop my car. just want you guys to anser some Qs about tires and wheels

Will stock wheels tires fit with out rubbing?How about 300zx TT wheels with stock size tires 225/55/16F 245/55/16B with out rubbing??And last soon to get some 98 mustang cobra wheels 17/8 with some would liike 245/40/17F 255/40/17 back think those would fit??

Sorry if this is dumb but i have just got off work and was thinking this all night and i am really tired hope i didnt piss anyone off with this one

While we have never done a test fit with the 300tt wheels and tires with the Sportlines here, I can say the Mustang wheels are a no-go. They would not be hub-centric (don't fit on the hubs correctly).

How do you say that i know of 2 240sx with those wheels right now and i got a friend with some and thay fit just fine

[Grant@tirerack]

The centerbore on a Mustang wheel is 70mm. That's over 4mm larger than your hubs on the 240SX. The wheels are not sitting or even centering on the hub like they are designed. They are centering on the lugs. That can lead to vibration and sometimes hub/wheel failure.

1 case out of how many?

I wouldn't base something working on just one person's "success". Think of it as automotive russian roulette.

[Charlie240sxt]

Well i see your ponit, but i know of more then one the other guy has had his for about 3 months now and no problem yet. But this tread got turn into nothing i want to talk about i just wanted to know what size tires people are running with ther sportlines not if the wheels i am goin to use are goin to tare up my car.

And agien i need this in general chat not this one not meny people come in here i never come in here

[Grant@tirerack]

The vast majority of S13 and S14 owners here have used the Pro-Kit. The Sportline springs are a very low setup for street use and will limit what sizes you can fit under the car. I would guess that's why we haven't seen any responses about the sizes.

also the 300zx wheels will nto fit without spacers...and if you search its been established spacers are evil, as are non-hub centric wheels.

also, the springs wont affect clearance to the wheel/tire unless it affects camber excessively.

I do know, hoever that the new sentra se-R spec-V rims fit without spacers, but would never, ever clear coilovers.

and obviously s14 stock alloys fit S13's if you have 5-lug, etc.-chet

i had sportlines on for a while with my current wheels/tires 17x8f offset 38 with 235/45 tires and 17x9r 43 offset(i believe) with 255/40 tires and had no problems. i took them off but will be puttin them back on with agx's soon. last time a alignment shop said my camber was 5 and 6 degress off so i put in different springs. i think they may have been lying to me jsut to get me to pay for camber kits. i put in springs that raised the front .3" and took it to a different shop that siad it was jsut fine. well before those i had prokits where the 1st shop needed an eccentric bolt thats still int he car but they told me it was a one time use. sorry for goin on and maybe not making sense.

basically with sportlines there might be a chance of needing sumthin to correct camber. i will find out once the snow is gone
