:Thumbs-uplooking very nice mate...massive dish on the rear wheels!

[gav240z]

Man that looks nice, I really like it. How much did the wheels set you back? I assume you had to get coilovers to lower it like that?

[Steve-x-edge]

Nice! I\'ve just picked up some GTR-D\'s for my FD.

What width and offset did you settle for in the end?

Steve

[Steve-x-edge]

Just spotted the width you got, what are the offsets? I\'m going to hazard a guess at 25 all round?

Steve

[parnell229]

Cheers guys I love the way it sits atm
£850ish for the wheels and about £200 for the tyres

Yeh I have coilovers only on the rear atm, haven\'t fitted the fronts yet though so it will go lower.

Offsets are ET25 front and 12 rear, had to slightly roll rear arches

[Steve-x-edge]

I went for 10J on the rears with et 12 and £200 for tyres! Thats dirt cheap, I paid about £450, but then again I\'m not running the amount of stretch you are.

I\'ve got 255/35 and 245/35 I think.

Just waiting on coilovers now, here are some pictures of fitment.

Rear



Front

[parnell229]

Looks good, after reading sizes on Internet I decided on 9.5j all round so I didn\'t have to do to much arch work.

Bought the tyres from camskill online they are cheap and then fitted them using the hairspray trick.
The front 2 are falkens and the rears are Nankang so I can play about and not worry about burning expensive tyres lol

[Steve-x-edge]

Yeah I got mine from Camskill too, really good pricing on there. I got my 2 x 255\'s cheaper then my 2 x 245\'s because they had a deal on at the time! I also went Falken, used them on my MR2 and can\'t fault them.

Needles to say, I\'ve a bit of arch work to do haha!

[parnell229]

Yea just a bit lol. I\'ve never used falkens but heard good things so decided to try them out. The nankangs I\'ve always bought really cheap for my rear tyres as they seem to take alot of abuse lol, well they did on my 200sx\'s

I was surprised how cheap camskill are compared to everywhere else, and fittings not really an issue

Love the wheels, look like veilside andrews! but am not a fan of the stretched look and the fact it gives you less surface contact with the road, but hey each to their own

so its been awhile, its been sat like this during the summer as ive been busy with work.





Still no front coilovers fitted yet.

So I now have this to be fitted, its currently being sprayed so i should have it back & fitted next week.









considering changing the front tyres as I could fit them in the arches and give me abit mor eground clearence for when the kit is on

[parnell229]

got these 2 pics of the rex from swjcc car meet




I got my bodykit back from the sprayers very happy with the colour match





So then fitment time, I also changed the exhaust while I had it in the warehouse


I managed to fit the rear bumper and side skirts, kinda ran outta time because i was using my works warehouse.

Pics fitted:




Pretty happy with fitment, ive still got a few tweeks to do just to tidy it up.
