Buying Wheels From America

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

i like big WHEELS and i can not lie...

Didn't read the whole thing but to the guy who started the thread, pretty sure 18" Drift-teks do not come in black, Koya only supply the black wheels up to 17" size, so if you want black 18's budget a bit more money for aftermarket painting.

Oh and I believe the Skyline gods would say that 235's on a 9.5" wide rim is perfectly acceptable, looks good and is not overly stretched (in fact tyre manufacturers say it will fit comfortably).

the blacks were being remade last i heard... were just all sold out

[DaGr81]

this is 18x9.5 +13 all round with 235/40R18's.

Nice one, did you need any rolling/lipping? I can't tell it looks stock to me!

Look what you wrote above i.e. You run positive camber. I interpreted this exactly the way it's written.

You didn't say you dialed in more positive camber to offset the excessive negative camber, however, overall, you still retain a little bit of negative camber.

That's a bit unfair, you left out of the quote the part of his post where he said it sits almost flat...this indicated to me that he was using the positive camber to offset negative. Also, he did state in a post not long after, that he runs positive to compensate for the negative camber caused by lowering the car.

Then, maybe I was just on the same wavelength as Hamish

nuttin wrong with that

I have 18x9 + 30 on the front. I had 20mm spacer added to that so that made it +10, I had the front banged up abit and it was still scrapping so its now back to +30. If you want your car to be nice and high you could get away with the +10 offsent but mine is slammed on the front.

Yes blacks for the win. My personal favourite at the moment and for the past couple of years has been black with a silver lip.

Nice one, did you need any rolling/lipping? I can't tell it looks stock to me!

it's actually a mates car..

the guards are definately rolled though, the rear guard lips were rolled pretty flat as that was the main rubbing area.
