im sure it said +20 on the rim i will check when im having new tyres on the front ;)

 

and what do you mean by tbl???

Third brake light. IE, the perspex strip along the bootlid. It's missing.

 

BTW, I'm running +20 effective on an 8.5" wide rim. Photo here showns when I was running +25 effective (before I fitted larger spacers). You can see that the clearance between arch and outter part of wheel is minimal. Looks much better since I took this pic.

 

So, in theory, your front wheel, if it was +20 would be flush with the wing.

ahh i see some kind person ripped it off i was going to order a new one but from reading other threads they are very fragile and im not sure how it will cope in the hands off the royal mail

 

as for the front wheels they seen to lean inwards they also did that with the ols alloys i dont know if its been setup like that be the previous owner

 

i will take some better pictures of the wheels tomorrow at work if i get a chance

Are you running standard suspension? I did notice your camber was quite negative. You can't adjust the camber on stock set-up.

 

The TBL, you really need to go through Zcentre and collect direct (Nottingham). They do NOT travel well. Still can't understand why Nissan ever made them from perspex and not polycarbonate.

from the look of the suspension i would say yes its standard suspension

Then if you have excessive negative camber, it'll be worn upper links or saggy springs.

oh cool i will have to look into that and get some prices for them parts

I ordered my perspex cover from nissan,was about £50 (without brake light) and took a couple of days to arrive.

oh cool i will have to find my nearest nissan dealer thanks for the advise saves me going to nottingham lol

Pay a little more and order the one with the brake-light in it. Looks better. :)

no worries mate, ive been umming and ahhhing for a wee while about them, i just bought a set of teins off ebay, and didnt know whether i could afford these, you just removed the temptation to spend more xmas money :smash:

The old ones were a nice design Lisa. But the fitment was way off. From the side it looks good, but other angle and the car looked like it was riding on biscuits. HUGE gaps under the wheels, the offset was quite wrong.

 

Better stance with these new wheels. With a suspension rebuild and the addition of adjustable camber arms, it should pretty cool. :cool:

hopefully these pictures are better the rear wheels are between 9 and 10 inches wide :dance:
