there's no need to get all nazi on that fitment..... i'd rather rock around like that than most of the skylines that get around aus

[GUN_METAL_GTR32]

i wanna get some 235/40/r18s onto a 10inch wide rim. purely cos i have both lying around and dont wanna shell out for new tyres yet. can this be done, and pls reccomend some places that can do the fitting for me as i know most tyre shops dont like stretching stuff

my mate has a 200sx s14 with 18x10.5 and 18x11.5 work miesters both with a very negative offset and he runs 245's on the rears

i run 225's on my 9" rears

so i think u should be sweet bro

I get what you're sayin, but personally I'd rather be sunken and not stand out from the crowd than be mexican and look like I snapped up a cheap pair of rims that came up for sale without paying attention to offset or fitment. You're gonna get hated on by the "my road car is a race car, and it will not have gangster fitment because it's not optimal in race conditions, that my car will never see" crew, and also by the fitment nazi's. It's a lose lose situation.

It's not that bad... pump guard, more camber, slam. fixed.

fkn lol

sooo true

the 2nd pic ive raised it a bit cos it scrubbed too much hence why im thinking smaller tyre + camber, the guards are actually hand flared as far as they go, R32 guards are shit for it unlike S13/180SX where you can get a big pump out of them, they werent a bargain pair either, the fronts are 17x9.5 +26 effectively +6 with 15 mm spacer to clear brakes and r33 control arms wearing 215/45 federal RS-R. And your right about the haters but i dont care my cars not a race car, i dont drift just want something unique.

Atleast you have an awesome fitment / right height then half the fucking shit you see on other Skylines in AUS.

[alr33x]

that'd be awesome to drive on...

[teK--]

They must have run out of 175s... I hate it when that happens.

[Birds]

LOL @ 195 on 10s. Just keep going until you have no sidewall, then you might as well fit 235/15

[funkymonkey]

lol for once I concur with the "my road car is a race car" crew. but I'd put money on the fact that its a product of a bunch of lads at a workshop getting bored and deciding to do something for shits n giggles.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

yup.... happens all the time.... there's a vid on youtube of some kiwi tyre shop guys putting a space saver on an 8" rim
