so i changed the thread name to fit what the thread has become. will eventually make a real build thread but for now this one works.

check my camaro stance.





16x7 +38 on the fronts with a 5mm spacer. 16x8 +0 on the rears. the rears are sticking out around 1/2inch. so rear fenders will need to be rolled/pulled and i need to put some 15mm or 20mm spacers and longer wheel studs on the fronts.

anyway heres the pics:

new rims with tires (one set Toyo 205/45s; the other Conti 205/55s)

Continentals mounted

fronts 16x7 205/50

anyone got any nice 15mm or 20mm spacers they'd sell me? oh and longer wheel studs?

yeah, are those custom sizes? sportmax's website and the cs reps say that offset only comes in 15" diameter.

Not anymore... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...71567

I'm guessing those are probably the "15, but I was just curious.

They have been selling those for a while now in 16x8 +0...not taking it as law, but I have seen them for a while now, and they will be my next wheel.

srpowered240sx: you mean these front wheels. yeah waited till the next day to install em.





Biggamehit: i work at turner studios and occasionally the animators hand me cool stuff.

these are the 16x8 +0 offset. freakin amazing wheels. light as hell. 33lbs with tires.

i have a sticker problem. i know. i will take close ups of my favorites. after i put some more on.

looking into some Eibach Sportlines with the 2.2 front/ 2.1 rear drop. the rears will HAVE to be rolled then, but the fronts should sit just right. need a set of real swaybars too. the stockers arent working for me anymore.

forgot to add: the fronts are wrapped with 205/45 Toyo Proxes and the rears have 205/55 Continentals.

Looks nice, I have the same wheels on my coupe but in 15x8 in silver. I had sportlines with Agx's and there was still a pretty big gap. Some coilovers fixed my problem so don't waste your money on sportlines and just get coilovers.

Here are the Sportlines with Agx's

I don't have current pics but trust me it looks much better

looks like you need fender flares or to go to town on pulling that fender.

looks nice. i say even better if they weren't sticking out past the body.

once i have a set of coils slapped on there the rear fenders will be rolled and pulled. flares would be hot, but want coils, subframe spacers, and swaybars first.

hahaha. just found this old thread of mine. well some things have drastically changed and some things havent.

heres what i mean:

after coils

then went crazy (new shell+new wheels...elite 17x9+15s from phase2)

then the 18s came (18x10 fronts + 18x12 rears)



now going widebody....well half way atleast

the stickers never stopped tho. just a new shell to cover

favorite pic to date: (i am hiding another car in my smoke)

dude god damn.

You need to get ahold of me PLEASE lol.

Where did you get those rims and widening kit? How much did they cost you? Thats what I want right there. Right there. Just in a flat black (professionally done) to my car. Maybe a different wheel style but I love the stance/width of your setup.

Where did you get those dope rims? I cant find **** for wheels right now.

Just goes to show how far one can get in 2 years. Your old setup was hella ghey, OP but your new look totally makes up for it. I suggest aggressive aero, overfenders, and slam it another inch and a half.

OP,Looks good Bro!

OP,I LOVE the stickers, I do not have any on my Daily driver but when it comes to my 240 i will be going crazy ^^. And i mean crazy.

That pic with the car covering the other car on the track with his smoke is pretty sweet. I like the little bomb sticker on his car.

One Love,

Ghasty
