hey about your 15x9s..i heard of people stretching smart car tires 155/60r15s on them. do it.

[blakeb]

Battl3_stance I have seen that. I have a buddy who is doing it but I think I will pass. This is my DD the 165/45/15s is pushing it enough as it is I feel like. The 155s look gnarly!

Having trouble figuring out if this 15x9 -15 offset is going to fit with the 165/50/15

Check out willtheyfit.com, I've always used it in the past and it's an awesome program for checking clearances

Decided to go 165/45/15 instead. Was contemplating doing staggered offset with 0 in front and -15 on back but decided against it and am doing -15 all around.

So went through some changes waiting on my tax returns to come in so i can get paint finally been slackin hard. 15x9 -15 0ffset rota shakotans on 165/45/15s. i got alot of poke up front. I didnt want to run a front camber kit but it looks like im going to have to. I got frame notches for my axles and tie rods now also. still needs a bit more low but its my DD so i wanted it an acceptable height.

blakeb, I've been lurking your thread for a fair while and it spurred me on not to care and just post my slow progress anyway.

you've gone through a few different looks, loved some more then others but still love your work.


then I see this update.
















howleechit!



















BAM!










My pants now look like a porridge explosion. Thanks...

I would've thought your wheel/tyre spec would look silly without huge camber but this stage has grown on me - digging it.

Not to be rude or pry but:
I think I've seen a lip like that on eBay, is that where you got yours?
Can you still get full lock?
Have you had to extend your driveshafts due to lows?

I can't wait until the tax man pays you so you can paint and camber and I can have another explosion in mah pants.

Please keep going and don't stop.

Thank you! Sorry for the late reply. I'm really lazy abounding updates. I do appreciate it a lot. I have frame notches for axles and tie rods. Haven't cut shock towers yet. Yes I can go lock to lock. I rub fenders when I turn on corners sometimes depending on the speed not anything crazy though. I can't wait for paint gonna do a respray of same paint code or maybe a different shade of red. I like the rx7 red a lot. This is probably my favorite stage as well. I just wish the lips were alittle bigger. I find guys with 0 offset step lip 15x9s that think I'm bluffing when I tell them I'm on 15x9 with -15 offset cause of how small the lips look :/

Looks good man, what else have you got planned?

[DeltaAlpha9]

I'm not a big fan of Rotas, but your car pulls off the Shakotans well. Is that just natural camber all the way around or are you using aftermarket upper control arms?

[dbales]

Dis nice. I like dis

Plastidipping possibly getting the body little cleaner and straight.

Thanks. It's natural camber up front and a eBay kit in the bAck. Stock arms still. The rear ones hit sometimes on shitty roads.
