[Leroy Peterson]

shiiiieeet can't wait to see in person

[Aggroman]

looks awesome shame about the usual front bar to bonnet gap that most conversions have

[blah_blah]

Ahh its drooping at the moment due to me needing a gtr front reo. Once its in ive been told no gap

[Aggroman]

nice, the only time you will ever want no gap

[blah_blah]

So much mirin Toby

Dark rims suit it I reckon!

Yeah dark rims are good

At the moment the current rims aren't wide enough

And I can't fit spacers at the moment even up to 25mm as the rim hub still hits the old studs

hot dam that paint is gorgeous, it just gets better and better

Thanks scmate!

shiiiieeet can't wait to see in person

Soon Leroy! Soon!

So car is way low now

Went to Costco today to get this:

And will be getting some low rise ramps soon as well like this:

Down at OTR to fit a set of 265/40/18 Hankook Rs3 tyres

Big range of rims and friendly bunch of guys.

Tried some Te37 SL's 18 x 10.5 + 15 for fun. They have an Advan 050 295 tyre on them i think

 

 

Hankooks on

Front tyres are scrubbing the top bit of the suspension so I need to go either a 35 profile tyre or somehow fix the problem

Hnnng those TE37s are hot, awesome colour combo maybe you should treat yourself for christmas?

Ahh thanks mate. Spending that much on rims is out of my price range at the moment. I don't mind TE37's but prefer them in 19's with the dish!

So this is what happens when you run too chunky of a tyre. Suspension arm/knuckle is touche the tyre. Might need to angle grind it down for more clearance

Also I did play around with the idea of white writing on the tyres after seeing one on a hankook race car. But decided not to go ahead with it haha

Ah, I see now.

That's the camber arm, not the knuckle. Just cut the arm down.

If you really want, buy a offset bush and offset the arm higher. It will clear easy that way.

Oh i forgot to say that pic is with a 8mm spacer that I was trialing

Oh thanks. I have no idea about suspension bits lol

Might look into the offset bush if it is also a cheap solution

Are there other bits I may as well change at the same time if I change the bush?

Suspension is stock except for coilovers, so would like to do a few things to improve the handling before the next track day

I know I probably need front and rear adjustable camber arms for more negative camber

Isn't 40 profile bit too tall for Skylines? Most run 35 profile.

Yes it is a bit tall haha

Test fit of XD9's 18x10 + 18 265 Achilles tyre. Plenty of clearance

I don't mind Xd9s...

 

[Count Grantleyish]

How many wheels have you trial fitted so far?

[blah_blah]

Hehe just borrowing a friends wheel for now till i fix the issue

If anyone has any Ce28ns I can trial fit...

This is the clearance I have with the Xd9's 265/35 tyre combo

[Count Grantleyish]

Yep, 40 profile is too tall.

[Leroy Peterson]

those wheels = better than C28s.

black dish looks good too.

Saw these wheels just released on book face

I might get em. More dish than Xd9's? And in a 18x10.5 + 15 size!

[RB2600]
