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

^^ Takata Green... Is that what your talking about?

On black it would look nice, but I think better on White coloured car.

ahh yes reminds me of vu's old s15 that i wanted to buy but he sold it to some shit flamin mongrel who f**kd it up

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

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.

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.

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

Do you have the link of this?

This is something I want to see.

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
