Nissan3 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I want to get a set of **** cepek rims for my 03 R50. my concern is the tires hitting the strut mount. I already have 265/70/16 tires on the stock 16x7 rims and the tires are just missing the strut mount. My question is will the new 16x8 rims fit? will it give the tire that extra bit to hit the strut mount? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nissan3 Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 also, im pretty sure i know the answer to this, but does a suspension lift affect the position of the strut mount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPLORx4 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 also, im pretty sure i know the answer to this, but does a suspension lift affect the position of the strut mount? No. The lower spring perch on the strut is not affected by a coil spring (suspension) lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernieMac Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I have been looking at those rims and the cheapest place I found was at Summit Racing. Let me know if you found a cheaper place.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
