Radim Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Got these off my buddy Ben today, 15x15? -30ish Going to toy with them and make them fit the truck.... :cool: Quote Link to comment
hessianben Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 They're ridiculous right?!? in the pics i was thinking... "they cant be THAT wide"... yeah, they are. :) Fontana style super rake coming right up! Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 i think you should lower the truck some more with those, and then radius the fenderwells and put some flares on it.. or just the radius'd wells would look tuff too... Quote Link to comment
skunk Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 put them on your truck now, i want pics. im waiting Quote Link to comment
Radim Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 It's 9PM and it's parked on the street.... Tomorrow after i run errands i'll test fit. They're extremely heavy so we might cut them and make widended steelies for the 280z. Well see.... :P Quote Link to comment

Radim Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Well they fit... just barely.... and there is about an inch to an inch and a half of poke, Flares should hide them perfectly, look to be custom made (Two Wheels cut and welded together..... which is safe and is pretty common on both Steel and Aluminum Wheels).

Radim Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Think of the strain on the Rear-end and poor little L16.... If 15x9 Steel wheels weight 18lbs alone..... Quote Link to comment

FoxyRoadster Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I have a set about that size on my baja bugs rear, you're truck can handle it if my lil vw can. you'll loose top end speed but acceleration gets kinda strange lol Quote Link to comment
Radim Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 lol, What do you mean Strange? Quote Link to comment
hessianben Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 wow! i din't think those would fit! i bet you could stretch some 265's on there easy and the tread would be perfectly in line with the body! Quote Link to comment
FoxyRoadster Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 lol, What do you mean Strange? well typical thing to happen when you go with a larger tire is you loose it.. but for me the bug accelerated a shitton faster from a stop but fell on its face at highway acceleration. I'd just put them on and take the truck for a quick spin and see how it reacts the the size, you'll know real fast if you dont want it. Quote Link to comment

hessianben Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 nah just playin- i saw em and felt like I should pick them up because I knew someone would use them! Quote Link to comment
Radim Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Trying to find tires, shop i frequent didn't have any but will stretch the tires for me. Looking for 265/50/R15 I'll probably run these for a bit untill i get my Centerlines polished. Quote Link to comment
