what came first the wheel or the coilovers?

[Philipio]

Looks pretty nice, but man, I though my camber was bad...I'd definately be using a camber kit ifthat was my car.

The wheels fit only because of the massive camber.

And yes he's using spacers, the hub adapter to go from BMW to Nissan bolt pattern was required. I don't know wheel sizes.

[nevertheless]

Coils duh steelies > wheel gap

I would love those wheels on my BMW 330 Ci!

Anyways, go with coils first. I have two 240s one on springs and one stock height. The one on Megan racing springs has stock wheels and the stock height has 18s on it. Did things a little backwards but i got a great deal on a front clip so I started there first instead of suspension. I like the springs but am planning on going with coil overs for my other 240.

My previous project was a Honda and I did all the suspension stuff first and then did the motor work. I was glad I did because then I had the suspension to handle the extra HPs and it handled like a dream.

I don't know wheel sizes.

I know they are 19x9 and 19x10, but I just don't care enough to go looking for their offsets...

Ok guys so I got a deal I couldnt refuse. I still was staying strong on getting the coils first, but like I said I have to wait for income tax to come for me to get the coils I want. So I work for a phone company and won a smart phone and found someone to trade it for the wheels above plus $150 sooo I basically am getting the wheels for $150 an offer I couldnt refuse. What do you guys think? I see the horrible camber above and am wondering what do I need for it to fit and sit right all suggestions welcome. I was thinking besides the stance coils , also stance camber kit. Any other suggestions?

By the way I have a s13 can anyone photoshop on one to just get a idea on look lowered until I get them and can post pics? I know we have the best in the business in this site.

[quote="simmode1"]BOOYAH!




These are the ones I got, even thou I really wanted the m6 5 star ones but these where my first love anyways. It was the new T-mobile windows 7 phone new never opened unlocked.

[420sxWETDREAMS]

You got the BMW star spoke 95 wheels for free + $150? Really? Was the smartphone wrapped in gold?

Anyways, you're going to need a wheel lug adapter to fit those wheels: http://adaptitusa.com/5x120to5x115wheeladapter.aspx

I dont get what your saying here? Are you asking will I drive with such a terrible camber? Uhh no thats why I am asking what I can do to prevent that, and yes those wheels...they are bad a** at least in my perspective. I may have been drinking to get the wheels but you can bet I wont be drinking behind the wheel. I guess we both made decisions other are not happy with but it is my choice.

[SoCal-S13]

im not hatin on the wheels, just living with your setup must be a b****. get adjustable Rear Upper Camber Arms. your stock arms cannot produce the geometric angles your suspension is producing so it pulls the top of the wheel (hence rear UPPER camber arm) in. get an adjustable arm, and you can extend the arm and correct the camber.

cheap fix:
megan
godspeed
wicked tuning


in all honesty camber arms are camber arms. unless you abuse the s*** out of your suspension brand does not matter. as long as it gets the job done. im an ***hole tho. i refuse to run megan or godspeed. cheap materials, cheap weld's, and a cheap price. you get what you pay for.

[420sxWETDREAMS]

thats what I was thinking about getting what you pay for. I didnt think you were hating I just didnt understand and wanted your feed back . Thanks for the change. (.02)

[SoCal-S13]

the arms that are on my car cost like $250. mine have actual pillowball joints as opposed to the heim joints + bearings used by cheaper companies. and their rod ends are made in taiwan. a real nice company thats affordably priced is Circuit Sports. they have legit pillowballs.

[420sxWETDREAMS]

ok so the question was what came first the wheel or the coilovers? The answer is.............The wheel!!! The only reason I got the wheels first is because I didnt spend a dime on them! I won a windows hd7 smart phone from tmobile nd traded it for the wheels straight up. It needs tires because the ones it has on them are bald but so what! I still plan on getting my coils as planned but now that extra money frees up money for more parts!

Paart 2 Question: What do I need to keep from having such negative camber and prevent me from going threw tires being that this is going to be a DD?

[420sxWETDREAMS]

Keep in mind my car is on jack stands in the pics and I just put the wheels next to it just to get an idea on how they look. I wish someone could photoshop it to see how it looks but my garage is not wide enough to get a better picture.

[420sxWETDREAMS]

I know its dirty and should take pics with it clean but it hasnt moved in months (yet) because the interior is completely out.

[420sxWETDREAMS]

Anyone know if nissan or nismo center caps would fit in these? Beware...... possible dumb question?

Adjustable Camber Arms. I think socal gave you some brands and info already. Prob gonna still have some camber to fit those bad bois though. Awsome find too man. Ppl go absolutly nutz over those dam phones, im not suprised you got that deal.

[420sxWETDREAMS]

Thanks DamonDread I've been looking for a while to get these or the m6 ones but people been asking a ridiculous amount for those. Got lucky just saw a guy with his 2008 750li with 24" and I pulled up next to him and asked if he had and wanted to sell the stock ones and he said yes. I met up with him and asked for the trade and showed him the phone in the box never opened with a little gift to gab and BAM! I can sell water to a whale! I literally have sold shoes to a blind man on the "2 for $89 promo" when I worked for footlocker, and Have sold phones to the deaf (T-mobile sidekicks). But I sell with integrity and right fit my customers I dont jerk them. My moto is "treat others as you want to be treated" and it pays off.

anyone know spacer specs on the maroon s14 simmode posted?
im sure he has the 4 or 5x114.3 to 5x120 set up, id just like to know how wide they are in that photo...the stance looks great but i wouldnt want to trial and error that stuff

[420sxWETDREAMS]

The pics of mine, the wheels arent even on I just put the wheel on top of a platform just for a visual they dont really look like that if they were on.

I dont know what spacers he used either pj.
