Test fit: AME Shallen LX's on my UCF10

So I was kinda bored on my day off from work so I decided to test fit some AME Shallen LX's I picked up about a week ago from QoozyFoozy...

(Sorry, pics are crappy because of my phone, and I accidently ran over my Digi cam a while back :pat: )

So... Now I'm just waiting on my JIC's I bought from |crash|, then i'll get some tires and figure out how to shoehorn these things into my fenders. I know Im going to need a Roll and pull. Anyone know what the max camber is I can get out of stock suspension components?

btw wheels specs are:
19x9.5 +16 Super low disk
19x10 +10 Super low disk

Planning on stretching 225-35-19's and 235-35-19's

you can get about 4.8-5 degrees of camber in the rear.

since the fronts are superlow disk, did you have to add a small spacer?

Actually no I didnt have to add a spacer, I was surprised because I bought the wheels assuming I'd need at least a 5mm spacer, but they clear the calipers by about 2-3mm. Probably because the 90-92's have smaller brakes. I remember you saying you had to use a 5mm on your setup so thats why I assumed I'd need at least that.

Thanks :smiley: Eventually after I put them on (probably in about a month or 2), finish my stereo setup, then get the Wald Executive kit but with a Duce front lip. After that, I'll be broke for a long while... and then I'll decide whats next lol :shrug:

shouldn't be too hard to fit. looks about the same fitment as my friend's ucf10. he pulled rears, maxed camber in the rear and stretched the tires. its actually lower now and closer to tsuraichi cuz he put 225's in the rear and 215 in the front.

You shouldnt even need to pull if anything. With a cut and enough camber you can fit those specs.

That white one is SOOOO god damn nice, I saved all the pics from his thread actually haha.

Beangrower: Did your friend have to modify the front fenders beyond just rolling them and cambering the wheels? No pull, just roll in front?

BTW Nissan4u2nv, good to see you on here man, I used to see you on Zilvia :biggthumpup:

camber, stretch and shave is all you would need, I don't think you'll need a pull.

the front looks pretty easy to fit from your pics.

can't wait to see them on your ride ! hurry up with the JIC's !! :smiley:

That white UCF above, what kind of tires are those? Are those the Falken FK's? Im looking for a nice tire to stretch, I wanted Falkens because the sidewalls look perfect when stretched, but i've heard of problems with the FK's... I'm thinking about Federals, but Falken sidewalls still look the best imo, i just dont want to deal with the hassle of bubbles in the sidewalls like a few people on this forum had happen to them...

just about all of today's tire brands have the same stretch as the falken fk 452.

it's just that the older falken st115 (or fk451, I forget the model name) ran smaller than what it was sized-labeled.

your 225 35 19 and 235 35 19 should give u a very nice stretch. I run sumitmo htrzII and so far so good, very quiet.

Wow, I can't wait to see this once you get everything on. Black, JIC's, AME, and kit. Whew it's gonna look good. I am a former 240sx guy too and have now moved on to the Y33, I definately miss the speed but the sacrifice for luxury and pimpness of VIP is all worth it. I could never go back!!! :biggthumpup:

Dude, where's my car? There it is!

Beeguy: Nice wheels man. Nice specs too. Can't wait to see those bad boys with some tires on and the car slammed.

Beangrower: Why you posting pics of my LS yo? How long already I was bugging you to post pics of yours. Post up mang!

Like beangrower said, no roll, no pull, no cut up front. Front fenders are stock. I just stretched a 215 on a 9.5 though, and it looks crazy! The front sits a lot lower now too. I went with General tires. Looks and stretches the same as the 452s. Cheap, stretches nicely, and quiet. I moved my 225s front the front to the rear on a 10. Sits a little lower, but dunlop sportmaxx's have a rim gaurd that I just can't get my fenders to go over. I will probably be stretching a general 225 on a 10 real soon.

Thanks again for all the props on my white UCF10 guys! =)

LOL 500 miles a tank in a UCF10? good luck! If i push it, I can get 350 a tank if its all highway. From Riverside California to Vegas and back I got approx. 350ish.

I like Q45's too, they can fit rediculously low offset wheels :biggthumpup:

Hmm... already did a tuneup.

Oh I forgot, maybe its because I deleted my EGR and have a heavy foot :sad:


EDIT: After some researching, I realize I'm not using about 6 gallons of gas every fill up. On average to fill up it takes me 17ish gallons. I dont know why I always assumed our tanks were 18 gallons instead of 22 :pat:
