Well the rain held off tonight and it was a nice pleasant evening for trying my new wheels out for size :biggrin:

 

Big thanks to Marty for letting me borrow his arches to help with measurements/decision making etc. These pictures are just a mock-up for now, but its the quickest, easiest and cheapest way to start...

 

RIP my Tokyo Nissan sticker.... and hello sexy 240Z metal badge (not fitted properly yet) :thumbup1:

 

Comments welcome, I'm well aware my car isn't to everyone's taste, and I'm probably about to lose a few more fans... I dont care :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

mate looks really bad ass in my opinion, i would do the same if i could. sexy looking xD. Would this effect performance or handling?

Very tasty:thumbup1:

You need! Front arches or at least simular poke. But me likly.

Looks ace I like it mate:thumbup1:

 

What size tyres are they on the back? Look dangerously stretched lol

 

As said the front needs doing as well, can you use your old back wheels on the front?

The rear tyres are 255s, just a slight stretch lol. :whistling:

 

The picture shows the old rear wheels on the front, but they still have 265 tyres on. With a pair of 235s and a bit of camber altering I'll think they'll look acceptable. Then its just a case of polishing them up so they kinda match the back lol. this sort of arch doesnt really suit the fronts but what other options do I have?

 

Its got the sort of love it or hate it reaction that I expected, and you cant please everyone, especially the sheep :biggrin:

What do you think about putting some nice fat spacers on the front, along with the stretched tyre?

yeah that might do it :)

i think the only thing i don't like about it, is the extreme tyre stretch.

 

Agreed, lovely wheels, I like the arches, but you don't need that much stretch

Love the dish but same as Voddy not a fan of tyre stretch

Just noticed these for sale: http://www.driftworks.com/forum/wheels-tyres-sale-private-sales/180502-work-equips-18x10j-et22-18x-11j-et-24-5x114-3-a.html

 

Those 10's would be perfect for the front of yours!! You could then sell on the 11's + 9's as a set.

Yeah I saw them mate, but theres no way I could afford them. Thats mega money!

Stunning! Where to get those arches, please?

Theres several sellers on ebay, heres one for example:

Arches are looking good :) Thought it would be a bit too JDM for this forum. I may be selling those as the zed is going and i doubt my new car will need them :)
