In other news....

Going to spruce up the rims as best I can and then put all four on the car to narrow down what tyre specs I want to run.

Leaning towards 245s 40/45 18 (common size and therefore cheaper) - though I would like to run 255s.

Also debating what tyres to run.....tossing up between Ku31s, Sumitomo z111s and Toyo T1 sport

Awesome choice of wheels Jez. Got a photo with them on? I reckon it will transform the look of your car totally and the dish will suit the black-on-black theme you've got going...

Thanks - I do :wub: them.....

Will post pics asap.

Black centres... whats the sizing?

OH MAN...Don't start that again :domokun:

(I can hear Jonno screaming "all black" and my brain screaming "gold with silver lip" and you going "black centres please - thanks" - noooooooo its in my head !!!)

18x9 +35

Don't forget to look at the Nitto Invo Pro; killer spec for the price.

Those rims will definitely be a slick addition.

Cheers Dale...will check.

Any recommendations on where to pick up tyres from btw??

I pm'd Taleb Tyres on here but no reply yet.

Anyone bought anything from Ozzytyres?? - seemingly awesome pricing.

Amazing work! I'm glad to see someone else taking the one colour look so well.

(One day I'll make everything blue!)

Thanks man........plan to still keep the silver lip though even if I do powder coat the centres.

I like blue :geek:

Damn those rims look sexy as fark!

Love how this car has come along

Thanks mate :) There was a time when I was tempted to go with your setup (black on black looks killer too).

ITS MY BIRTHDAY !! :banana:

Went for a trial fit this morning to my local tyre place to finalize sizing etc.

As of now I am going to run 235/40R18 fronts and 255/35R18 rears

Will be ordering my new tyres soon.

Also, want the car looking the way I want it now so going to run 10 or 12 mm bolt on hubcentric spacers on the fronts to get the wheels looking a tad more agressive. (provided I find some - only found 15s so far) There is no way in hell I am running slip ons - say what you may!

Will not have to change the factory bolts as the rims have space for the protrusions (yay!!)....so might end up running spacers on the back as well. (P.S. I am aware of the legal stuff).

Stay tuned.

its looking tougher with those rims, nice work :)

I want one of those seat covers.. lol

You no get ma seat cover niggaaaa !!

Update:

Ordered these this morning....

Could not find bolt on spacers in less than 15mm so ordered a set (see below)

where I get the two 15mm bolt ons that I need and a few extras to play with when "posing" !! :cool:

    • I've replaced the front brakes of my NA to 324 brembos and 350z calipers: i'm going for 225/40-18 up front and 245/35-18 in the back. I have Rays 7.5*19 ET35(225/35) in the front with 5mm spacers otherwise the calipers "lock up/ won't rotate". When i use the calculator i come up with 8*18 ET30 for 225/40...... but not sure i get problems with the calipers. Anyone riding around with 18 inch. that can confirm "that it'll fit"? In the back it's 7.5*9 ET30 (245/30) with the 5mm spacers, but there is no problem with the standard small brakes, so i want to take 8.5*18 ET25 (245/35).
    • Lol.. but then.. always come back to a JDM..
    • Glad to hear. If possible, get your tuner to check air's to make sure everything is still where it should be.
    • The problem with FB/Insta/Reddit etc comments relating to cars is simple. You get to ask a question once, and get one round of replies. For things that can actually be answered in a few lines of text, once, it's fine. After 6 hours, your original question is lost to the void. There are no follow ups, additional questions, anything. No project car is ever such a simple list of questions to ask. You need discussion.
    • Welcome.  Here's what I have noticed about forum vs FB..... FB; seems to be wallet racing, and the same few questions asked over and over. There *may* be some groups that are closer knit, but most have changed for the worse. SAU; unfortunately, no longer in its glory days. But....genuine people with similar interests. Not all about how much you spent and saying you dont have enough power. Sooooooo much knowledge available. Have personally seen people post up about literally topics I made myself, asking on FB like no one has done it before. Most has been done, and most of that is here.   If you ever feel like just general chatting theres the wasteland.  Other interests are also generally covered in other areas of the forum. Hope you enjoy hanging around. We would love to have you.   P.s. nice 32 😀
