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.

not bad, i like the lip, what size are they 17 by 7.5 in they front and 17 by 8.5 in the back?
18x8.5 +20 18x9.5+20
sitting nice!
nice...i thought your car was blue? Now you need to roll the front fenders so you can drop the front even more...![]()

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.
those look hot.
they would look alot hotter if you painted the spokes black

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

Is that the same wheel as Batlgrounds 240's?Originally Posted by HiPSI
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![]()
I did find a set of black Z06 wheels too that would prolly have been pretty hot![]()

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

wheel size doesn't matter...it's the outside tire diameter and width you want to keep similiar to original. If you go up a wheel size then you go down a series in the tire, no problemOriginally Posted by Marcos Ruiz
