Wheel fitment? Keep it or change it?

[chompsticks]

So I got my wheels mounted on and now have a question about the fitment. I am trying to go flush (would go hellaflush but I can't go lower)

Should I add a spacer or leave it the way it is? I would at most go with a 15mm spacer for the rear and a 5 for the front. I think...

Here is where I am at now.

I think the fitment looks good, but there is a little bit of room to bring em out more. rolling the fenders would allow for more back spacing too.

more low...

I have no need to roll the fenders, but I would like to go lower.... Can't spring on another set of coilovers though.

I am trying to get flush, but since there is still a slight gap, pushing out with spacers a bit would help it out slightly.

Should I just poke out a bit more?

I think the only reason you're asking is because you want more poke, but you're afraid that people will say it's too much.

I may be wrong, but, honestly, you stated a look that you were going for, so do it. Sorry if I'm calling you out, but grow a pair and build your car.



EDIT:
And, for the sake of contributing to the question at hand, the rear could probably stand a few more mils... A front three quarter shot would help with the assessment, though.

Thanks.... Basically want to know if poking out would make the car look more flush since there is still a good amount of gap and my tires are slightly stretched. No I am not afraid if people will say it is too much.... I mean I do drive a Nissan cube......


Not exactly a 3/4 shot.

Glad you didn't take my comments the wrong way, haha..

I stand by my previous statement that the rear could stand a lower offset, but that being said, I think lowering the car would complete the look more-so than a lower offset. Then again, I'm not the biggest fan of such aggressive fitment, so I'm not going to recommend much more poke. Good luck with everything, though, man!

if you just add a spacer it looks like you will need to roll ur fender, because its just gonna poke. But you really need to go lower if you want to make it sit flush. Its just not gonna happen with that height, lower it about another inch and a half or 2, and you will be money, than a spacer would be nice and flush. If you know someone that could heat/cut your springs to give u that 1-2 inch out of what you got that would be the cheaper alternative to getting it flush. Its really a challenge to get a flush look with simple lowering spring. or save up for that coilover!

I am already on tanabe coilovers full low. Is it possible to cut springs on coilovers or is that not a good idea?

Otherwise I think I am going to spring for some ksports and sell the tanabes since KSports can go lower.

oh ok i wouldnt do that to the coils at all man. you could look into getting another coil spring, maybe a ground control coil, with a really high spring rate.

[chompsticks]

Thank you for the suggestion! I'll have to look into swapping the coils... Any idea on how hard it would be to swap a coil spring? For example would it be easier to swap a coil spring on coilovers vs springs on stock struts?

hseries: Thanks for your input! Aggressive fitment not what a cube is made for! LOL
