S13 Hatch with 18" G35 wheels

[Automato]

Just got my new tires mounted on my 18" G35 wheels and threw them on. Pics kinda suck but I'll get better ones soon. The tires are 245/40 front and 255/35 rear.













Here are a few from autocross last weekend. By the way, my old Works wheels shown in these pics will go up for sale soon. They are 3piece forged, 17", 5x114.3 with federal 595ss tires.

definitely digging it. i like the yellow on your headlights, too. how'd you do that? is it a film or something?

[Tyler]

lower the front more then its hawt

[Automato]

thanks, the yellow is some kind of reflective spray paint. i bought the headlights like that from someone on here.

the front isn't actually as high as it seems. the passenger side looks higher because the fender was damaged by the previous owner and is sort of bent out of shape, so the wheel gap just looks huge. if you look at the front left fender, you'll see how its really sitting.

i liked your old wheels better.

get that ugly orange sticker off the quarter window, then you'll be all good

IMO 18s are too big for a s13 I think 17s look just right

I agree, imo the rims look to big for the car. i like the car though

[jessetang]

i actually bought these headlights off this same exact seller. but iirc, he told me that he opened up the headlights and did the yellow himself, so i don't think it was actually oem.

the pictures don't do the wheels justice. in person, they don't look overly big but that is just my opinion. the old wheels were nice, but they were not wide enough and too sunken. i think the old ones were only 7" wide and they only had 225's on them. in autox and at the drag strip, i wasn't getting enough traction. i wanted to go with a setup that would give me good results on any track but also be streetable.

these wheels cost me $375 shipped from VA to NY. most of these g35 wheels i see go for $400+.

Personally you need to lower the front some, then get some aero going... You've already got the front lip, now get some OEM sideskirts and rear valances! ASAP!

but your car is one of the only cars that can pull off the Sil80 look.

I was thinking the same thing.

[nevertheless]

dibbs on wheels! a skyline spoiler would look good.

but your car is one of the only cars that can pull off the Sil80 look.

mine is one of the few others that can do it too.

the headlights are sweet.

i liek the wheels think it needs dropped just a little more.

I like the new rims more then the old rims. I was thinking about getting some 18's off of a 350z. Seeing your car helpped me decide that im going to get them. Post more pics if you have any, and i do like the sil80 conversion.

umm... we dont care. make your own thread! oz 17''s? sound ricey. prob like 7'' wide and +45 offsets

[J240sx]

What kind of exhaust is that? It looks nice

[Automato]

the exhaust is an apexi n1 dual exhaust.

agreed, lower would be better but i only have tein springs and kyb shocks, so for now, its staying as is. plus, any lower and i'll have to do some fender work to avoid rubbing. i just dont want to deal with that right now.

[daconkiftador]

Did you run a 35 series tire in the back because you couldnt fit a 40? Other than that, car looks pretty good.

no, i think the 40 series would fit fine in the back. but this is also my dd and i wanted to keep the diameter of the tire as close to stock as possible, so that was why i went with the 35 series.

Not a big fan of those. i prefer 16 maybe 17's on an s13 hatch, but to each his own
