Aggressive fitment in front of E92

brewnami · 03-19-2015, 07:04 PM

Is anyone running a 9.5" ET22 or wider up front on an E92? Trying to dial in my camber to minimize rubbing, but I'm wondering if anyone has any any luck modifying the plastic fenders on the E92. Luckily I have camber plates with my coilovers so I have some more room, but at -1.4 or so on both fronts, I rub pretty hard turning while going slow. I've seen quite a few people running static setups with even more aggressive fitment, but I would rather modify fenders than run Nissan camber. Fronts are 19x9.5 ET22 and rears are 19x11 ET25. I have some more pulling and potential shaving to do in the rear to eliminate rubbing as I don't want to run more than -3.5 out back. Fronts I'm trying to stay under -3.

Would love feedback and specs!

Right now I'm running 19x8.5 ET 35 with a 12mm spacer making it ET23 with PSS 235/40/19. Front is lowered of SP perches about .5 inches. There hasn't been any rubbing of the fender yet but I do rub on the wheel well where the oil cooler grate is but that doesn't bother me so much

I am running a 19x9.5 +22 fronts. Forgot what my camber is set at but I was rubbing with a good stretched tire. Not anymore though but it did shave the inner fender a little

You should be just fine with something under -2 at front and around -3 at rear which by the way is the max camber to rear with stock parts. That's not Nissan camber. I would recommend 225/35/19 and 265/30/19.

Here is few e92 with those wheel specs, but ride height plays big role whether it rubs or not.

Yeah, I have a lot more tweaking to do. I have no idea how Johnny Lin can turn that car with 19x10 ET14 up front! He's lower than me and I rub hard haha. I'm currently at -3.5 in the back, not sure how I was able to get past -3 with stock arms, but I still need to pull and probably shave the rear quarters a bit more. I have 235/35 and 265/30 Continental DW. Going to play with te ride height in the rear, but I will post some pics for reference.
