When I wrecked the blue car I killed one of the wheels in the rear (17x8 fn-rc +25) and was going to get two more 10's for the rear, but I decided to just get a new 17x8 to match the other three and replace that one that was demolished. I want a staggered tire slightly at least since I am not messing with wheel sizes. The fronts are 17x8 +35 and as I said, the rears 17x8 +25. Thought about a 235/45 up front, 245/40 in the rear. I had 245/45's all around before and they looked pretty good but the wall was a little high for my tastes. You guys think those sizes will look pretty good

Yeah bro, I always thought the 245/40 was the way to go on your car. I think it'll look damn good. Of course, you know, those FNs are played out...

shut up fag!! lol

I had my blue s14 before the whole damn jdm tyte 240sx SE silvia BS. I got the s14 in the first place because I love that it had a sunroof, was RWD, had white guages, and i *LOVED* the foglights. Those were pretty much the selling factors of the 240 for me, and look what happened. I'm a freakin fanatic now. Thanks alot Nissan.

Thanks for the quality post REPO!!!....

By the way, I have a chance to get all four powdercoated "candy black". Its a three-coat powder process; almost like a chrome looking black supposedly. I think it'd be bad on Whitey, what you think?

Oooo, damn, that DOES sound tasty! Certainly something different. Who would be doing it?

If you want black wheels just let the brake dust pile up for a few weeks. Looks the same and involves driving your car.

235/45 will be taller than 245/40.

IMO if you have to do one, do the 235/45, it will have a better load rating and fit better on an 8 than 245/40

It had 245/45's on them before, just too tall a wall. McRussell, what do you recommend then? I want a 235 up front, and a 245 (or 255?? hehe) out back, but I want the walls to be as close as I can, and if I have to then the backs could be *slightly* larger, but I want then even.

Andy, the Melky Company here in town would do it, they've done alot of things that I have seen and they're good. They did my valvecover, it was done very well.
