I call bullshit.

Unless you have 500 lb springs in the back? Or never carry rear passengers? Or your roads are like glass?

I can assure you I understand more about sentra suspension than you. I designed one of the best coil-over applications this chassis has ever had. You clearly do not understand how a McPherson strut style suspension works under load. As the car compresses the geometry of the suspension naturally pulls camber. that car does not rub and performed flawlessly at VIR during at least 4 track days as well as being a daily driven car. My 4 was lower and lower offset and with a really tight fender roll it only rubbed with a full load and big bumps. Also you made your point invalid when you mentioned bs agx hyperco setup when I clearly stated this only works with coilovers and proper camber plates..

If that setup didn't rub, it was because of the spring rate. Can you tell us what the rate was so we can replicate your setup?

That is not monster truck height at all, and I agree with you that it is probably lower than you want to go on a B13 suspension in terms of ride height.

However, that will rub like a mofo just like Ben said above. The funniest part of this thread is you referring to @BenFenner and myself as kids. I am likely old enough to be your dad.

BTW, even though I would not run those tires on those wheels, I really like the overall look of your car

I have 15x8+20 and my fenders are rolled. I rub with a 205/50/15 in the rear. This is with a Federal Tire.

Fuck off jjkamikaze, no one said it couldn't be done.


That looks like +38mm offset or so in the rear, which works with aftermarket coilovers that give more clearance on the inside.
The front looks to be around +23mm offset (likely 15mm spacer to clear brakes or combat understeer).
