Well, my suspension is stock for now, but I plan on going with some TEIN Flex coilovers some time in the future. I'm probably going to go with 18x7.5 in the front instead of the 8.5's, just because I don't really want to roll the fenders or anything.
Also, Roen, sounds like a pretty good rule of thumb as long as it works!! I'll definately keep it in mind.

if they were 8" then you might be able to squeeze it in there but a 8.5 @ +37 will probably hit the strut body so you might want to run a 5 or 10mm spacer depending on your clearance inside at the strut body.

Tire and wheel issues?
Ok so i have my car running and i can drive it. I got some AR outlaw rims in great condition for free. They are off a 280z. I got BF goodrich radial TA's. 235/60/14.
Look great on the car but i cant make large bumps, or hard turns because they scrape the fenders. They do stick out past the fenders. And i found the rims online and the off set i think is 0. 2 questions. Anyi can do to keep theses rims? On my car? And If not will the 235/60/14 be a issue with stock 4lugs rims? The rear seems pretty good but the suspension is uneven and one side has make a small amount of contact with the fender. New shocks in the rear take care of that? Let me know what you guys think there is so much to read on here so im gonna get back to that. Thanks

Lives on the Forum
The offset is too low for that sort of tire size. Ideally you'd be closer to 30mm, there's nothing you can do short of a really serious fender pull or wide fenders that'll make them fit. Those tires are awfully wide for the stock rims, as they're 5.5" wide, those tires are 9.5" wide, although they do list that they'll fit onto a 6" rim, so you can probably make it fit, but it will be less than ideal.
If it's sagging then it's probably not the shock, the springs do sag over time, but you should check the top mounts and the bushings too.

Need fitment feedback...
'91 Vert lowered with Eibach springs and KYB's.
I want to put a set of rims on that are:
17x8 +22
17x9 +26
I'd like to get the flush look but don't want to roll the fenders.
Will it work?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

I'm not sure what is the offset on my wheels, but I have my 90 vert with 19x8 on 235/35s all around on stock suspension, doesn't rub or nothing. I'll try to find out the offset and I'll post it in the near future.
