spray the rota's a graphite colour would look well i think! bot many in graphite either
cheers man
I was thinking that alright, but I'm not sure if the rotas are going to work out at all any more.
They're et30 and 9" all round, I don't think they'll clear the arches or the wings, plus I fitted front right coilover and wheel hits it, so I need to get a hold of small spacers today to test fit but the wheels will stick out even further then.
Hopefully it works cos I do like the wheels![]()
they will fit no problem . just roll the inner lip on the rear quartes and on the front wing . im running on my 180sx 18x9.5 et 20 rears with a 225/40/18 tyre and running a 17x9 et 10 on the front 215/40/17 tyre . they will work wont need any camber or fucking about on the rear and and dought you will need and on the front eaither ..
that front splitter better be touching the road man when its done![]()
also ment to say i have a 20mm front spacer and a 10mm slip on rear 1 so you should have clearence ..
and great progress and keeeping an s13 on the road .....

cheers for that, it makin me feel better anyway, I'd hate to hav to sell the wheels and the plan was always that it'd be as low as possible.
I need to stick on a small spacer on the front anyway, I've the same tyre size on front same wheel width but higher offset - you still think I'll get away with it without rolling fronts? How close is your tyre to the wing?
Also there was a small dent on the back left quarter just above the arch, like somebody tipped it goin into a garden, so I can't flare and I'd be afraid to even roll it now in case the filler cracks... I should have rolled the arches before fixing and spraying but too late now
Cheers
well mine are et30 all round as well just using spaceres... am well mines to low and impractical to drive really the wings are rolled flat and its rubbing the side wall of the tyre as well so i dought you il be running that low anyway ? ahh just go easy get some 1 that has done it before plenty of heaat and a steady hand with the roller and all wil be sound![]()
ha no won't be THAT low but I'll go as low as possible as long as I can still crawl over the ramps goin into work...
cheers anyway man, I'll get a spacer today and stick the wheels on this evening and see what it looks like anyway.. hopefully it works...
if not I'll get onto someone about rolling and check what the story is with the filler... before I resort to changing wheels...
good work on the paintjob,, nice to see it broke down properly and all the door jams done,, hard to beat fresh paint everywhere,
I like the way your keeping it somewhat standard looking. Dont leave the wheels white, bronze or graphite like one of the guys said
nice clean car, few small touches and it will look sweet .
pity my rims would have been a perfect fit for ya .
