Finally a sunny day in Canada so I decided to snap some shots on my way to a relatives wedding.

nothing professional, just me loving my car.



thanks for viewing

[EnjoiNismo]

Looks great, Love it.Tail lamps fit well with the car.

[txs240]

Thats a good looking coupe.

[krash]

Dear god its beautiful. I want your wheels

[TroubleBound]

Thats good looking for a coupe.

Fixed j/k Nice pics, nice whip. Thanks for sharing! Do you have a higher resolution copy of the second one? (for my wallpaper) j/w

[Shayl]

Let me know your email and I can send you the high res version.

here are a couple more less flattering shots

[simmode1]

The looks really good together! Can you plz upload your wheel/tire specs to http://www.rimtuck.com? The database is really short on good looking P45R setups...

Are you gonna do something with that front bumper though? Right now, your car is like a girl that looks really good from the back, but when you see her face, it's like "Oh.... um...Okaaaay. Still doable though." Maybe a Xenon lip or some tasteful aero?

Sweet, my email is [email protected], i appreciate it!I have some time attack P45R's in my room waiting for my hatch, you're making me want to put them on my coupe. Mines pigger tho What are the tire specs if you don't mind me asking?Im so jealous...i want a ballin silvia

[Shayl]

I completely agree with your statement, there are just too many rocks on the road for the other bumper This way I can still plow my way and not care about rock chips in new paint.I have a type X on the way for the front as well so that should solve that issue.

Right now it is 205/45 all around. This was messed up by me trading front ends and recieving 20mms making me battleship again. Will be moving up to 215/40 or 225/40 with only a roll in the rear.Anyone wanna trade me their mint black oem fenders for my "origin"(So I am told) 20mm overs?

Ill upload onto rimtuck tonight.

Thanks for the comments.

Thanks for clarifying your setup! You were kinda scaring me with those front fenders... I have a P45R setup in mind, but I know fitting it under stock fender might be hard. When I saw your setup, I was like "Dammit, I'm not gonna be able to fit 17x9.5+12 with 245/40's all around, am I?" But I'm glad to see that you didn't really need those 20mm fenders, so it might still be possible...

Oh and the kouki front on that car is gonna look soooo sexy...

to that my friend has the p45rs on his project silvia with 235\40 all the way round and he has to buy 2 more at 9 instead of 9.5 because the fronts rub at full lock, and i mean rub as in wouldnt move if you drove it and hit full lock. also +12 offset

edit: 235\45

[Shayl]

the fenders scared me also.

245/40's might be pushing it on stock metal. largest I have seen squeezed under with the exact same wheel specs are 235/40's, with an aggressive pull in the rear, stock metal up front. I will grab snaps as soon as possible.

also, just an SR under the hood. My interior is filthy but lets see how that goes tomorrow.

thanks for the comments!

The reason I'd like to try 17x9.5+12 with 245/40 all around is because I've seen examples of 17x9.5+18 RPF1's with 255's all around on an s13 coupe ine Zilivia's 'Maximum Rubber' thread. Clearance was uber close though.

But here on NICO, Mr.Greeneyes ran 17x9.5+15 Battles with 245/45's. So I figure 245/40 is about the max width I'd like to try fitting up front. I'm hoping that -2.5 degrees of camber, a roll and not going too low will get it to fit up front. I'll sacrifice a little ride height if I can avoid pulling my front fenders...

I'll probably hit up Mr.Greeneyes when I buy my wheels for some fitment tips...

[crakin]

looks good love those rims just not the red lip

You are going to have to pull the crap out of those front fenders to fit 245's on a 9.5 +12. Mine rubs now on a 225 18 x 8 +21 with a roll...... and about -2 degrees of camber.

[JStrateger]

I never really liked the chuki front on the couple but you pull it off pretty well. I think it'd look much better with a zenki, or better yet; silvia.

love to tails, those alone make me want a coupe. They're so sexy. I think clear markers would look great with the tails.

The fitment Bible has spoken... I'm gonna need a different setup then. I like my pristine fenders...

Probably gonna do 17x9+20 in that case...

uh oh... hope that it clears mine (17x9 +12 with 235/40/17)...

[Shayl]

Funny, as it use to be a silvia front, here it was..



Also here is 235/40 on a 18 x 9.5 +12 unless he changed the tire size which I will find out.

[OM3GA]

I approve

[Broadfield]

That appears to be more narrow than a 235.... it looks pretty stretched. it could also be tire design too though that's making it look extra stretched. I'm guessing that's a 225 at the most. It would be nice to know what size it is for sure though...... it will help answer a lot of questions for these guys.

[Steady_One_S13]

beautiful! the front-end looks good on it. Don't change it.

[240SXcoupeRB25]

u should leave your car how its it looks pretty sweet with that lip on it.

[simmode1]

Hmmm... I gotta say... I like this car better with the pop-ups!

Thanks for posting that pic of the 235/40 on the 18x9.5+12, but according to the Tire Calculator, a 40 series tire is almost an inch taller than the original rolling diameter, isn't it? He would have had more room if he went with a 35 profile, right guys?

See, this is the wheel fitment I'm targeting:Mr.Greeneyes's coupe back with his old grip setup. 17x9.5+15 with 245/45 all around. -2.5 camber up front and -2 camber in the rear. I figure 3mm lower offset shouldn't make too much difference, especially if I go with a 245/40 profile tire instead of a 245/45...

I've seen some really terrible front fender pulls, but his are far from the craziest I've seen:17x9.5+18's with 255/40's up front. I guess, as long as my front fenders don't come out looking like this, I'll be happy.
