finally stepped up to some 18's with a decent lip

first picture is before i pulled the rear fenders to get rid of the rubbing. after the pull i dropped the rear about another 1/2" to even things out a little more.

nice...i thought your car was blue? Now you need to roll the front fenders so you can drop the front even more...:)

fronts are rolled, there are plenty of other things rubbing at the moment up there when i'm at full lock so i need to do a little tweaking for full steering angle with no rub.

the car was blue a long time ago. after getting hit and doing the silvia front i did that roller paintjob just to get it covered up.

i could've gotten them in black, but i'm just not a big fan of the black car with black wheels. my next set will be chrome ;).

me too, the bronze ones were by far the hottest


they went to a good place. and they were gold dammit, gold. same color these might end up actually ;). i think these wheels fit the hotrod personality of the car more than the old ones.

and yes, i would love some bubble flares but i can't afford that type of wheel, they would cost more than the car.

225/40 front and 245/40 rear currently, but i'll be likely going up to a 255/35 rear when i buy some more tires.

If ya really wanted to go for an identity crisis you coulda got that cobra's R's with a deep polished lip for around $500 a set..nissan, chevy engine, ford wheels...who cares :D

I did find a set of black Z06 wheels too that would prolly have been pretty hot :dunno:

nope, theirs are privats. somewhat similar but not the same design.

i originally ordered some FR500's but decided against them for now. i'll probably end up with a set or two of the mustang replicas eventually, but something about these i like a lot more.

Z06 replicas won't work, vettes have high ass offsets +50 or more :(.

18''s upfront hurt. Start the cutting and grinding. Maybe switch to a wider 17 up front later on.

^^^Wheel fitment hero.

Im on my way right now to get some 20x7.5's with a 205/25/20 I cant wait to put em on. I love your theory.

See you at Cordele Erin.
