Infini wheels installed On the Infini

Well, I had got my wheels back from a friends wheel repair shop. They did an outstanding job on polishing the lips up.

I had planned on putting the wheels on after getting it the car repainted. But I just could not sit on it. I got up today and pick up some tires and mounted them on the wheels and put them on the car today.

I had a old set of Sparco Racing 17 X 8 front 17 X 9 rears that I had been using until I got a set of Infini wheels.

Anyway here is some pics I took today. before and after.

My camera didnt like a dark car with light back ground so the pics seam too dark on my monitor.

Those look kind of small? Are they vert wheels?

If theyre not I cant believe you would get rid of the infinis.

I long for a set of infini wheels.

I don't believe he said that he was/had gotten rid of the Infini rims.

Those Infini rims are damn sexy though.

yeah the owner before me had sold the orginal Infini wheels and had these wheels on it when I bought the car.

Yes the Infini wheel looks like the Verts wheel but its wider and come with cool Infini logo caps

If I remember correctly, 'Vert rims are 15x6.5", while Infini rims are 16x7.5"

Correct me if I'm wrong? How much would it cost to ship a set of those stateside?

They sure would be nice to have on the T2..I would put on Vert rims, but, they're just not wide enough!

You need some 45 series tires on there. But that looks damn good anyway. You are truly one of the lucky ones.

Thanks

A 45 series tire is short. and you speedmeter will not read correctly
The stock tire size on the Infini was 205/55/16 Potenza RE71
I used a 225/50/16 which is the same circumference.


you should compair tire sizes to make sure they are the right size. You can do that with this link
