okay ,I just want to know some things before I install my coilover....

nobody's already did that with the same size ?

I have 245/40r17 tire on 9 inchs rims for the rear wheel....so I'll drop the car! Did you think that the tire will "fits" in the fender or should I roll the fender??? ! 240sx 1993 !

thanks alot J-F

The correct answer to your question depends on the offset of your wheels. Without knowing that your question can't properly be answered.

I don't realy remember the off set of my wheel but i know that's a 2 1/2 lips so i thinks is a negative offset like 40mm

best thing to do is make sure of the offset before you roll the fender

yeah you definately dont have a -40 offset, you would have like a 6.5 inch lip, its probably somewhere in the neighborhood of +32 to +20 or so, you may need spacer, and probably a roll
