240lookis, those are the Eagle Alloys 028s, right? Where did you find them in 4 lug? Also what offset are they? Those wheels all seem to come in negative offsets.

You said you have the 15x8 ones right? If so stretch shouldn't be that much.

Holly $hit, I got to go change my pants. for turning it from that flat black to bright red, thing came out like tits.

Looks like your getting this thing all ironed-out hah?

Did you fix that lug nut stud?, I remember lots of people giving you all kinds of $hit over it.

Keep it coming, just dont get off track and dont it out. And dont listen to some of the on here, their just pricks , they probably cant even change their own oil I bet.

As they say real people do real things.

maybe you shoulda went with a smaller side wall like a 45 series instead of a 50 and the stretch would be more noticeable and feasible

I dont think they make tires this width in lower profile, otherwise they might be more expensive.your wheels are 8" wide, dame, my fronts are 8" and I got 225/45, and I still got room to expand. These are going to be stretched. But my back is 9" and I'm rolling on 235's or 245's, those babies are stretched, you just see wheel lip from back haha.

i havent even checked if they make em in that size but yeah i just thought that he could probably go lower with 45's but then again he is doing almost a one inch stretch so yeah you are right

Yeah once he stretches them it will take away from the sidewall, you know what I mean.

i might go out for a while and burn the **** out of my current tires beforehand.

195/50 is fine. But it just seems as a bit skinny considering 195 is what you'll find on a stock steelie.

The basic stretch on a 15x8 would be a 205/50 which I always went with. (And LOVED)

205/55 is nice too.

I vote for burn the crap out of your current tires today and mount new one's tomorrow :D

Yeah, just get if for 240sx, think their M12x1.25 dont remember the length. You'll have to remove your rotor,caliper, caliper bracket, then you'll have easy access. Pull the new stud in with the lug nut, and punch the old one out.

ya. it sucked. i had to drive down to my auto shop and have them impact gun the stripped bolt off.

i might have to take off my piggy lip for a bit so i can slam the front. lip is already like 2.5 inches off the ground, and i have like 3 inch fender gap.

when my car was on a lift today, i saw that there were 4 or 5 bolts missing from the transmission, by the clutch one of the previous owners did not do a very good job putting it back together. not a big deal though.

however, it does confirm my thought that i have some sort of aftermarket clutch.
