Sorry I like the rest of the car just not my thing on the wheels. But you like them and that is what matters. Nice ride.

What hood are you running with the Ls

Idk if its the wheel/tire setup or the camera shot itself but the car looks really squished. Like the wheelbase looks like it could be a miata LOL.

But nice car either way, not a true fan of the LS swap (yes wow, lets make this thread 15 pages long about how the LS is better than the rotary ), but as long as your FD is clean looking, thats ok by me. Put a honda engine in there if you want. It still looks good

thanks! I bought the wheels a LOOONG time ago, my taste has changed since then, but at this point they'l do, haha. Its a seibon CF hood, had to do some trimming on the webbing to fit the Ls1, but i dont have stock anything on the ls1, otherwise i wouldnt have to trim a thing.

I did a wheelbase shortening conversion to the car so it pulls wheelies easier when i launch, , , , NOT! hahaha I guess its the camera angle, lol. I have a POS camera that i use for ebay only all the time, i need to buy a nice one. Or maybe take pics of it elsewhere aside from my backyard, lmao. thanks for the comment and yes it is Ls1 swapped, but like you said, its a car, i like it like this and its good looking. Plus i dont need to try and boast about this or that and start some war. After all, i am on a predominantly rotary forum and know better.

Here is a side angle shot. The front lip looks gross because its not fully adjusted yet.

havent you seen this done before on cars like the FD that have massive front brake calipers and the wheel spokes need to clear them, but in the rear the calipers are teensy weensy and not as much of a convex spoke design is needed.

um, not to mention the HUGE WIDEBODY out back that gives him something like another 2" of outboard clearance for wheel width.... no **** the rear wheels are dished.

form > function

I like it.
mostly the triple black, wide tire, mega motor setup... ok everything I love it.

MORE BETTER BIGGARrrrrr PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PUHLEEEEEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

have you thought any about molding the fender flairs? i think it would clean it up quite nicely

are your wheels dirty or is it just the lighting

Are you blind? Hes got plenty of room for wider front rims regardless of his "huge" brake calipers. Generally, diameter is a bigger concern than offset when it comes to the brakes. That, plus the fact that i have seen dished fronts with "massive calipers" before. And regadless of the reason they look horrible(no offense, if you like 'em then rock 'em).

I'm not blind, but, are you blind?
regardless of the rim width there is a high probability of the spoke design being the way it is because of the ideas I mentioned.

That's not true at all. Spoke design/clearance is also an issue with caliper clearance. Most companies like Stoptech have templates/measurements which deal with BOTH wheel diameter and spoke clearance. They are both important for caliper clearance.

yeah, not digging the front much either. I think it is because the oversize tire on the rear gives it a beefy look and even further negates the almost flat look of the front. Just seems like there is a little too much fender gap in the front for my liking.

Again, this is my own personal preference. Overall I really like the way it is turning out. The feed wing really goes well with the rear fender flares. Gives it a very current look.

Congrats.
