am I totally blind or wut?? a friend told me there was a wheel offset calculator on here but I cant find the darn thing anywhere... I feel really dumb right now..
i just picked up a set of Works a few weeks ago (17x8+35 17x9+36).. I havnt had a chance to test fit them cuz right when they came it I dropped them off for a powder coat and polish.. I drive a 92 240sx with JIC FLT-A2s.. with a few degrees of camber front and back.. im going to run 215/45,235/40/17 tires.. wut type of fitment issues do you guys think im going to run into?? im told ill have to space the fronts 5/10mm, and do a little rolling/pulling in the rear..

Welcome to NICO!
From the Wheel FAQ zerothread?id=81407
A basic offset calculatorhttp://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp
A more thorough wheel/tire calculatorhttp://gs.tolan-hoechst.com/tirecalc.htm
The fronts might hit the coilover, even with a smaller tire like 215/45. I think the rears would have plenty of room between the coils and the fender. Try browsing a few other posts and see whats recommended for x9 wheels with similar offsets.

Re: (chmercer)
The offset calculator has been in the same place for year - the wheel faq.

so I am blind.........
after running them in the calculator.. looks like im going to need spacers... damnit... "The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 23mm LESSThe outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 3mm"

Re: (nismofly)
no spacer needed with a 215nismofly wrote:the fronts will clear with the 215, thats what Smith (one of our gurus) had with his fn's
Re: (nismofly)
wut about the offset of +35???? ive got 16x7 +25 on the front right now and the rim sits almost less than an inch from the shock... but tomorrow is the day my wheels are done with the powder coat.. so we will see, if they fit, ill post some pics of my sexy beast... with her new shoes..
Re: (nismofly)

now that I look at the pic closer.. I notice he has 0 camber in the front, ive got a few degrees up front... hmmm.. we will see.. LoL
