I'm going to try to put bike tires on my stock wheels and give them like 45º of camber. It's gonna be sweet.

i have a measuring tape. 245's and maybe 2 degrees of camber. only 3 inches to go. so unless you were just to lazy to attempt it i don't think you have 3 inches to spare in the back of your car.

and by the way i will gladly post pictures up if you need them.


the fronts are a different story...

dhahaha i will not ride around with the wheels sticking out like that. i am either going with a custom widebody or something else... we will see what works.



and yeah the fronts after measuring and a good amount of camber need 3.5 to 4 inches to fit. and that depends on the tires i use.

i may go with oldschool 280z flares along with a repaint on the car in a completely different color.

enough thread jacking.

17x10 +0 will not fit on stock fenders without a REALLY good pull. and even then stretched tires may be neccesary. i would also suggest finding matching front wheels cause i personnaly think mismatched wheels look retarded.

Yeah......280z flares would look badass with those wheels. Definately looking forward to seeing the build come together, future rs.
