Well to start off, i have been lurking on this website for almost 2 years now. And I finally decided to make an account and start meeting new people. I grew up living in Japan because my father was in the military. Then one day my dad tells the family that we are moving to New Mexico. I was nervous, becuase I never really lived in the United States and also because I was still 17. After I got the news I decided that I should ship some parts back with me. (Courtesy of the U.S. government). I bought an SR from a friends junk yard along with the silvia front end, and also found me a nice set of volks to go with it. When I arrived in the states, I had no idea what a 240sx was... but I did my research and built the car I have right now.

This is my second 240 I have owned, and I really like these cars. This is my daily driver and I drive it everywhere. (drove it to Vegas last week, which was a 1600 mile round trip) Well enough ranting, here are some pictures of my car. The wheels do stick out a little bit, because there is a 2 1/2 inch conversion spacer on the hubs, It looks kind of stupid but i will never sell the rims because I love them so much. I am saving up for some hubs, but I am just a broke college student now Well I hope to meet some of you guys in the near future!

looks ok, but the wheels sticking out the side of the fender does look kind of stupid. not to mention it looks like its stock height. I still have the 4x4 stock suspension, since the roads around me would thrash a lowered car, but you're looks more like a monster truck. heh heh hehand I believe (at least around me) you're not allowed to have tread sticking out from the fenders. I don't know, I myself think that's BS, especially for jeeps and such it seems to be fine but they're off road type vehicles.I have no idea where you could possibly find 2 1/2" spacers, just wow. ...why? Anyway, maybe just get smaller spacers and roll the fenders and lower it.

Looks different, but it's alright. I couldn't drive it where I live though, the Police would tow it for the wheels being outside the fenders.

You should get some flares if you want to pull off those spacers. Diggin the wheels, not so much the conversion.

I think the 2.5 inch spacers aren't spapcers, they are the 4 to 5 lug bolt on things.

Save up for some real 5 lugs if you don't have them yet and it will look sweet.

What's up with the mexi fitment?

It needs a drop, roll, pull, and camber. BAD.

thanks for the welcome guys! And yeah the spacers are the 4 lug to 5 lug conversion, I just dont have hubs right now, money is tight, and i cant drop it because It will just rub

If I known they dont have kouki's in the states I definately would have bought them over in japan. oh well, ill get them sooner or later
