new tires and spacers

[sviellvoicae]

I havnt posted in a long time guys and just got some new tires and spacers. the tires or falken azenis i got each for $25 and they have about 90% tread life left smokin deal! well here ya go

Before

and after

[tramp_drift240]

that looks a hell of a lot better, imo.

id still suggest perhaps finding some lower offset wheels at some point. though thats a gigantic step above what you had previously.

sunken wheels = not good.

ive still got stockers

perhaps if i got some spacers to push my teardrops out further?

[sviellvoicae]

ya i need some new wheels but waiting for when i do the good old 5 lug conv. but even now my fronts rub every now and then on the front so not sure what im gonna do about that cause i dont wanna raise it all in the front

[tramp_drift240]

roll the fenders, son.

roll the fenders, son.

thasswussup.

they are widebody fiberglass fenders or i would

[tramp_drift240]

so you have full replacement fiberglass fenders on the front?

if so, bummer. i dont really know what you should do about that other than raise it.

which i definitely dont want you to do.



EDIT: if youve got coilovers, you should try to find some higher spring rates to replace your current ones, itll keep the front from bouncing enough to rub against it. ive got 10 kg/mm in the front and 8kg/mm in the rear, i dont have to worry about any rubbing, even when i get some better wheels.

im like the way the fron looks so im gonna keep it for a while my jic's are hella old so it is time for some new ish

[tramp_drift240]

are they coilovers? or just springs, i dont know much about JIC's.

[sviellvoicae]

ya they are coils

[tramp_drift240]

do you know the spring rates? if theyre kinda low, maybe you can just upgrade springs and theyll be straight. you shouldnt have to buy a whole new set of coilovers to make up for it.

sorry for crowding your thread, too, haha. just trying to see if you can do anything to fix the rubbing.

do you recall the spring rates on those coils?

[sviellvoicae]

no clue

[tramp_drift240]

do you know what kind of JIC's they are? i can try to figure out what spring rate youve got, because im diggin' your ride height. its like perfect for what you've got for wheels.

[sviellvoicae]

no clue on model they are from 1998

[neverlift]

snap a pic of the jic's... while at it take a shot of the inside of the fender where your rubbing.

it looks tons better too btw... I'm abou to get some ksports and a set of 15x7(or maybe 8 or 10 IDK yet) with a 0 (or -32) so I'm gonna have some nasty rubbing going on, my frame lol

[l80_240]

what size of wheel and offset are you running along with what spacers did you use? the set up looks good as well as you car!

[sviellvoicae]

they are 5 zigen typhoon17x7s and i think its a +37 off set. and the spacers are 25mm
