  • So I picked up some 16X9 and 16X11 SSR Mesh with +15 offset from Adam about a month ago and they should be here in the next week or so. Im planning on running 215/55/16s and 225/55/16s, how much rolling do you guys think I am going to do? Im also going to get the centers gold dipped, Im thinking that should look real nice....

        Hey,

        for the front, stock fenders should clear with a minor pull. Rear, you'll probably have a hammer it quite a bit. DO NOT do the Flare pull, try to bulge it abit so it'll clear better. The flare lip won't do ****, it'll clear when the car sit still, but it'll rubs when the shocks are compressed.

        • Ok. I am planning on grabbing some camber arms from AMS as well and maxing them to the negatives in the back (at least to what looks appropriate) in hopes I won't have to beat up my fenders too badly. My paint is all OEM and mint so I am going to try and avoid cracking at all costs.

          • ^ Try heat up the paint as much as possible. Since the fenders are 2 layers, it is possible to just hammer the innder one without cracking the paint on the outter fender.

            • Good call on the Ams RUCAs, also what Cunit said. That old two layers of paint is a b"tch so go slow and heat her up so your outer fender doesnt spider.
              Traction is optional, so are zipties

              • Thanks for the suggestions guys. I managed tom roll the fenders on my 430 when I got my 20x11s without too much cracking so hopefully I can do the same here with mor agressive pulling.

                  • It's gonna be a bit of a roll but it'll sit high unless you have a body kit.

                    • Sounds like you should get those 16X10s back and put them on the Skyline, I think that would look cooler than 18s!

                        Yea they will fit with a medium roll/little pull. Your gonig to get alot of tire wear as the camber is off on 10 inch rims pretty good. Heres a pic of my Rears 18x10 +21

                          • Haha I figured they would be DR's with those specs. You could convert it to 4-lug, its not unheard of haha. Look at the S15 from TAS this year though I dont necessarily think thats a good idea, especially since you would have to run smaller brakes.

                            • I'm running 18" volk GT7's

                              I have 18x9 +29 with 255's in the rear. And it sometimes rubs if I'm going normal speed and there's a big enough dip in the road(it happens more often if I have a passenger).




                              Would a roll fix this? Or a smaller tire maybe?

                              I'm getting new tires in the spring, and I'd like to have this problem fixed so I don't ruin them.
