Rims

What are the biggest rims a 1990 SE can fit w/o modifications? I want to put 18's on mine but I don't want to have the bearings wear out every 6 months.

18's fit no problem with the right offset. For 18x8" (popular size), a 35-38mm offset is ideal. I have a 45 offset and I need spacers in the back.

With 18's and Eibachs, it is stiff. But it only bothers me when I go over potholes (which unfortunately is often in Massachusetts).

i used to have 18s with eibachs and tokicos and yes it is stiff and bumpy. but i didnt mind. the only time i used to drive it fast was on the e-way.


here is a pic of the wheel gap you will have with eibachs. looks good in my opinion. i like it just a little lower but i was happy with the setup. i have a couple of more pics on my website. page 2

some people like bling, some people like to turn. if he's happy with 19s, then that's his thing...

well his post would seem to think his ride is smooth and comfy....if it's his opinion about not having any problems then that is fine. But for some kid he is going to read this and go out and buy 19's w/ a sport suspension and wonder why everything is so bumpy and harsh

he didn't state that he had a sport suspension. He just said 19's.

to each their own. stiff and bumpy is relative anyway.

I rode in a friend's STage V++ 300ZX a while back and thought my car rode like a cadillac afterwards... yet my wife whines and moans when we take my car anywhere.

You know what? It seems you got something STUPID to say today also. If someone wasn't 100% retarded, they would get the clue and figure out why their post(s) were deleted. AND why one shouldn't repeat the post as it ****es me off.

I don't have the time to sit here and babysit a bunch of morons that like to postwhore and post stupid shat.

Keep it up and you won't be posting here for the rest of your summer vacation
