latest pics of my $400 fastback with typhoons

[eliterit]

Well here are some pics of my s13 with new 17x7.5 +40 5zigen tyhpoons

To me the wheels dont seem tucked hardly at all. I havent put the spacers and studs on yet, but when i get the coilovers they'll probably be perfectly flush.

sorry about the big images, i'll resize em later

Let me know what yall think

It will look pretty sweet when you get the drop from the coil overs.

[Charlie240sxt]

OFF RORD set up j/k will look really good after droped

[ILikeMy240sx]

Man everytime I look at those they look so nice... Very nice eliterit! It needs to be dropped :p

I was thinking about gettin Typhoons...

Will 17*9(17X9 5-114.3 35mm) in the rear and 17*8 (17X8 5-114.3 35mm) in the front fit? What about Z32 brakes?

[Thee 240sx Owner]

DROP IT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

[whiterps13]

wasnt this the ride of the week on the spiketv show TRUCKS?

[eliterit]

very funny guys... :rolleyes

my digital camera just doesnt do the fender gap justice,, it really doesnt look as bad in person. (it still looks bad)

heck, what i should do is just take off the hatch and it'll be a real truck, what do you think? :ylsuper

[PantherRacer]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL seems like they saw the same thing I said lol...OFF ROAD RALLY 240SX!MAN those are some sweet rims....Gozigen typhoons...hmmmmhey I wanna see that thing go up against the grave digger in a monster truck rally, I'm sure you could win all you need is some horrible paint and knobbly tires lol

[black s13]

is there an engine in that car? the front gap should not be that much...

and to repeat, lower that thing, it looks terrible. oh, and someone sank your battleship.

[AZhitman]

Might be a good time to take down the Christmas lights.

Looks great!

p.s. "Battleship" comments are WEAK. Those things are about as flush as you can get without getting the "skateboard" look.

[eliterit]

what are you talking about?

I just put the lights up "early" this year , thats all....

j/k it's not even my house, I bug him all the time to take em down.

[silkk]

its nice!

[[Zero-S]]

Please tell me theres no engine in that bay...that car is ungodly high. (Kinda like mine:D)

Wheels look good tho.

[eliterit]

yes there is an engine in there, its actually a ka24de,, minus ac compressor,, and cruise and all other ac stuff.

[Fish240]

any reason why you got +40!

and pls lower it

[[Zero-S]]

I guess that stuff is pretty heavy then...cause my S13 sat pretty low compared to yours with the DE and all accessories.

[hamsterball]

wtf...??

ROFL! d00d. why did you buy that offset? Do you have a honda? No.Do you have a 240SX? Yes.

So why are you buying FWD offset wheels? Geez..

You should have something like +35 at the most.

Anyways, when you put 17'' wheels, it will raise your car like that.When you get it lowered it will look better.. but that offset makes the wheels stick in way too much.

Sucks man.Good luck.

[AZhitman]

I still don't get all these "sunken wheels" comments - They're flush!

Damn - I guess no one noticed the fact that the car cost $400 - I say, NICE WORK MAN!!!

[jdmfreak]

Nice wheels. Anything else I was gonna say has been said like a bajillion times already.

[swannjay]

$400 !? man, you came up on this deal. good job, nice wheels.

[nlzmo400r]

because unfortunately SOME 240sx owners think anything over +25 offset is for a FWD or 'honda' and can't look cool on a 240 becasue it doesnt make u look like a d1 drifeter. You're not cool if you have big offsets, did u know that? I think they look great. And this way he wont have trouble clearing brakes/coilovers etc.More often than not they'll look at the offset number to make a decision on if they like em instead of actually looking at the wheel on the car

[AZhitman]

Ah, I see.

They'd probably like some of the "ethnically altered" cars running around here in Phoenix.

13x10 Daytons with 195/50/13's? Hell yeah! :rolleyes

[downshift]

nice deal, nice wheels, need drop.

[black s13]

And this way he wont have trouble clearing brakes/coilovers etc.

other way around. lower offsets will clear more coilovers, those wheels might actually not not clear some of the larger ones. Brake clearance is based entirely on spoke design, it has nothing to do with offset.

it might look somewhat flush now, but when he drops it its going to look terrible. i dont like real offsets cause theyre jay-dee-emmmm i just like how it looks. wheels sunken into fenders simply do not look good. +40 wheels are flush on hondas, so they use the. +40 is not flush on rwd cars, so they shouldnt be used.

[eliterit]

i do have 10 mm spacers that im going to put on when i do get my coilovers, with nismo studs

....which would then make the offset ,,, u guessed it 30mm

[Altiman94]

leave the man alone. 400$ pignose? Cant beat that with a stick!

[black s13]

i give him props for the car, it looks damn good, expecially for $400, but i dont like the wheel choice. especially with a wheel that is offered in real offsets. car looks good though.

[MustangManV6]

Definitley drop like everyone said, and PLEASE take off that ghetto chrome stuff around the wheel wells (SP)!

[Shift_Oversteer]

Mad props on the wheel choice dude... I love typhoons IMO. Definitely get rid of that fender liner $*** though. BTW $400 s13's always turn out the best :ylsuper

[AZhitman]

Definitley drop like everyone said, and PLEASE take off that ghetto chrome stuff around the wheel wells (SP)!

There's no chrome on the car...



Must be talking about the black rubber fender trim that was stock on 240's.
