I finally bought the 60mm nismo wheel studs required to mount the wheels. They went on great. Wheel studs are really easy to change on the 240. I decided to tape on the rear fenders just for fun, hopefully I'll get around to permanently attaching them to the car sometime in May. here's some pictures from last weekend.



I need some front fenders then paint. and tires

most widefenders come with a gas door that has a recessed area on the side the gas door opens on. you just need to space the gas door out with some longer screws or whatever.

the wheels are some 3-piece BBS wheels that I picked up. I was going to sell them to make a profit but decided to keep them. they are 17x9 and 17x10.5.

thanks for the compliments. Not all of the cars are mine. the hatch and the turboII belong to one of my roommates and the prelude the other and the corvette is my gf's.

I had some BFG road race tires on the wheels and I wanted to run street tires and use the Z32tt wheels for racing. so I sold the tires off of the BBS wheels. I'm trying to find some tires for it right now but until I get the motor I'm not in a big hurry. So I've got time to watch for closeouts, specials, and good deals.

I'm thinking 285/40ZR17 rear 17x10.5 and 255/45ZR17 for the front wheels 17x9. I don't want to stretch my tires, I'm not really into drifting and want a larger contact patch.
