<< < (3/8) > >>

matsu:
That car looks dam cool!
But they are also 17s and dropped on it's ars.
The wheels I wanted are 18 merc rims 9.5 et 35 fronts so I'm stuffed.
Like big al says I think I'll find the lenso slr which are et 44, unless I can find just rears of the Alphards lol.
I'm not ready to do heavy arch work yet .... Unless someone in the biz needs a car to show off their skillz :signLOL:

I take it he has yet to buy an engine for this car, as you cant go round corners with that spec unless you have concreted the springs and dampers solid.  :happy2:

Hope this helps.   :happy2:

I know he has some stretch on the tyres, & they are cambered more on the rear, & I think running that low scrubbing comes with the territory, but it can be done! Just don't expect to take it round any race circuits if you like your arches... :)

215x45-17 on the rear. ET35 all round.
