[karl_tate]

got woken up to a text message this morning saying my wheel\'s were ready for collection

got straight up and set off on my way.

my plan was to get them powercoated flat black all over but im going to keep them as they are for now, when i get bored, go black.


et -13 anyone hahaha







just dont know what size tyres to fit, i want a stretched look, they are 9.5 and 10j :confused:



this is the problem with the coilover, the adjuster has split/cracked.

[leeincivic]

man am lovin it, doin some top work as always tatey!!!

think you shoud flare my wings for me too coz that looks top

[Mims]

Not planning on any shows this season maybe a few BMW/Euro ones dunno.

Wheels look phat yo! lol

I would say depending on how good your tyre fitter is 225/35 or 40 on the front 235/35s on the rear for a crazy good stretched look.

Or 235\'s front and 245s rear for normal kinda stretch.

i was running a 225 on a 9.5 on my 200sx when i had it, i would go 225/40 fronts and 245/40 rears... or 235/40 rears.

[karl_tate]

cheers guys.

doing the rear\'s took quite a bit of work, i would\'nt like to try it with out damaging the paint haha

has anyone got any pics of different tyres fitted??

[MaLicE]

thats on 9.5" all round... 235 front and 245 rear... the fronts were changed for 225\'s after that... but no pic

[karl_tate]

cheers for that bud, hmmmm.....

[MaLicE]

possibly the worst pic i could of given you lol!

speak to SiH im pretty sure he had mazda speeds 9 front and 10 rear with some goooood stretch!

[karl_tate]

Lol its given me some idea anyway, I just dont want to run a realy narrow tyre on the back...

[karl_tate]

well skirts all fitted up now, then starting adjusting the suspension, but its too low now. i also need some new studs for the front, as when i fitted the spacers  on the front they needed cutting down but i have no need for the spacers now resulting in them being too short.

any one have any or some spare hubs kicking around i could nick them off?? also how are they fixed, are they bolted or just on a spline and pushed in from the back??

[MaLicE]

i think thats the perfect height lol!

speak to danny im sure he will be able to sort you some new studs... and iirc they are pushed in from behind... big hammer lol!
