What kind of a Silvia?! +38 with dish?! Any pics?

[curtis]

I've got 16" rota grid drifts on my s14.
I like them cos I'm not a fan of huge wheels and it's a different look.
You have to go really low though and have standard bodywork.

[Davie]

yeah agree have to go really low bit can be lost sometimes

depends on the silvia

a lip maybe...

i reckon 16" can work buuuut, there has to be no sign of a body kit and its got to be loooooooow and phat...

which s15's arnt, s14 yeah but s15's are too sharp and angular to have a phat look

[Simon]

which s15's arnt, s14 yeah but s15's are too sharp and angular to have a phat look

i mean phat as in the width of the wheels.. 10j, 11j etc...

but yes i agree maybe the 15 front just wouldnt work, but i say go for it, be different and i hope it works out ha

[casper]

7j front 8j rear,think hes gonna go for it,will post pics if it works out,thanks for opinions.

[Keith88]

16's even 15's can work on s13s but defo not with the s15 front and certainely not with +38 :o Poooooo!

They wont fill ur arches at all..............,they will be ridiculously small and look stupid!

[matt-p]

they can work but car would need to be slammed and big tires or wheels look lost in arches

and at that only some wheels will work


heres mine with 16 inch wheels i borrowed of a buddy with big tires on them tho and front isnt even that low

if they wrong off set and arent flush with car it would look shit too

[lukeworx]

that red s13 (coupe) looks like a scalextric car, jebus its bad

[Davie]

The red s13 if I remember properly is running over 550bhp and was only been rolled around on those wheels

[doug]

if you look at my car thread you will see mine on 16s,
i hate them look way to small on my s14, i duno aobut offsets or all that but ive 17" wheels that are 9.5" at rear an 8.5 on the front and they look wayyyy better imo..
