shush :p:p:p wait and seeeeeee

What nikki said, stretch and lower! If the wheel is 9inch then 215 and if its 9.5 then 225, you might even get away with 215. Dont worry about camber, juts get the lip rolled a bit and you will be set.

Dunno if its the same on all cars but as it gets lower the rears just gain a bit of camber...

Looks much much better though!

Oh and seeing as it hasn't been mentioned whats happening with the intercooler???















:p

^^^^ what he said! and if you lower it enough, you naturally get more camber anyway

Boom sorted!

Nah thats not a huuuuuge stretch, I put 215's on a 9incher and 225's on a 9.5 on the Silvia myself, i just rubbed a little washing up liquid on the lip it was grand...

ok cool thanks for that fred :)
what profile would ya say for stretching 215's?
40? or 45?

Ok ive just checked the cars. Here is a pictorial response lol

The Banger:

215/45/17 Front 9inch wheel
225/40/18 Rear 9.5inch wheel

The Silvia:

215/40/18 Front 9inch wheel
225/40/18 Rear 9.5inch wheel

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59...1/IMG_0464.jpg


So if they are 17's id say probably 45's, you could run the car a little lower but have the slight raise from the tyres...
