ghoti, that jam is pretty damn sweet. moar plz.

Only others I got, SpeedHunters Mike wants to do a feature on it though so you guys might see it there soon.

[red92ka]

This style has grown on me quite a bit. My next s13 is getting this. Jaysgottaredtop's car is awesome.

[Reece]

NotLowEnough, very nice Two Tone. Keep it nice and tidy.

Thinking about picking up some 15x10 -40 wheels for my s13. And my question is: I have 38mm extended flca and cut knuckles. Will I run into issues with hitting suspension at full lock? I know my wheels will be poking out that much more but think 50mm fender flares should cover the whole wheel and tire? Im sorry if this isn't where I should be posting this but it's relevant to this thread.

[jaysgottaredtop]

^ Nah, you probably won't have any major interference issues with a reasonably short tire (like 225/50, 205/55, 205/50… you get the idea).

For comparison: I currently have forged PBM RC-correction knuckles, +56mm FLCAs, 16x9 -32 (effective offset including the spacer), and 225/45/16 up front. I don't come close to hitting the tension rod or sway bar at full lock, and I don't rub my harness after tucking it far up and out of the way. I probably would hit the front side of the wheel wells, but I cut them out so no worries there. Fender clipping on the leading edge is minimal with longer homemade fender bracket things.

Look though this thread and others on Zilvia. There are quite a few S13s using 15x10 -40ish wheels up front.

$1600+ to buy and refinish my meshies. Still not what I want either.

There's just a difference between the people that want to go out and have a good time drifting or whatever, and the people that are very VERY particular about what they want.
Not trying to step on anyone's toes or anything.

why even respond to samson? he/she still clearly has the psychology of a 6 year old stuck on the "you're wearing buddy shoes" frame of mind.

Pic of my ps13 when I first imported it rocking the ex tra kyota ps13 wheels. 16×10 -23 and 16×8 -13

But after seeing the nagano koubou rose bud onevia I had to get a set of the work Cr01s
In 15×10j -53

Where do you get this mythological size tires at. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough.
DR steelies are the ghey

[jaysgottaredtop]

A few online sites carry them from time to time. I used to run 225/45/16 KDWs but they went out of production. Now I'm using 225/45 N3000s, but I don't know if those are still in production either.

I'm on my phone so I can't check now, but try poking around on TireRack, DiscountTire, OnlineTires.com, and Tires-Easy.com. They're usually a good start.

Edit: looks like there are a good number of them still in production being sold by some of the sites above. Maxxis MA-V1 for $64 each, Nexen N3000 for $90 each, Falken FK-452 for $110 each, BFG KDW2 for $128 each, and a good collection of sticky ones too.

[bataangpinoy]

you wont get cheap tires in 225/45/16... I'll b getting ZII's for my e30

[dorkidori_s13]

unfortunately i dont have any pics yet, but my SSR mesh centers went in for refinishing today! they should be back to me on Tuesday/Wednesday!!!!

im having 2 of the centers acid bathed (they were chromed), all 4 will be completely stripped, media blasted and shot with a silver powder coat!!!

now all i need to do is find some new nuts and bolts, i think i might take a trip to the hardware store this weekend so i can put them back together completely next week...SUPER EXCITED!


PS: i picked up a S15 helical LSD and output shafts earlier in the week too from a guy i know in thailand, should take about a month to get here. no more one turner burner!
