thisismatt Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Yeah, I wanted to say get 205's, but I think they'd probably rub with 0 offset... Quote Link to comment
Rustbucket Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 So 185's are skinny tires? I thought 195's were too... But I think I will need a slight stretch to tuck... Don't get me wrong, 195's are also skinny tires. But, you've gotta work with what you've got, haha. Those wheels ain't gonna fit with a 205 on 'em! Quote Link to comment

aintnobiscuit Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 What are the specs on those longchamps? Are they 15x8 +0? Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Peanut butter jello time Johnny lol Big fan of PB&J but never tired it with Jello... Hmmm lol What are the specs on those longchamps? Are they 15x8 +0? 15x7 -1 Quote Link to comment
aintnobiscuit Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 thats awesome :) yeah, I would definitely put some 195s on there. I have 205s on a 15x8 +0 and it fits almost perfectly. I think just rolling the lip in the back a tad will be perfect. Depends on how much stretch you want though. You probably won't need to roll it depending on how low you go with the 7" 1 Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I priced out some Toyo T1R's and a shop of mine can get me a set of 195/45-15 for $425. That's what I am going to do. Now all I have to do is save up $425+ mount and balance... B) 2 Quote Link to comment
Creepy Cruiser Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Some pics of the Valve Cover mock installed... Can you tell me the actual color name of that powder coat? (there are so many different blues out there, lol). I have a BMX bike frame, that I think that would be the perfect color for. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
BenTerrible Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 0 offset gave you 4.5" backspace on those wheels, yea? Scratch that, went back and found your post stating a -1 offset. 4.4" backspace? Quote Link to comment
peanutbuttercups Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I love those longchamps :w00t: but you already know this :rofl: I'm still liking the blue tape too. Peanut butter jelly time peanut peanut butter jelly time, love that family guy skit. 1 Quote Link to comment

I have a BMX bike frame, that I think that would be the perfect color for. Thanks. I am not sure what the "Powder Coat" color code is but I do believe it is B17 Daytona Blue. From the 350z. 0 offset gave you 4.5" backspace on those wheels, yea? Scratch that, went back and found your post stating a -1 offset. 4.4" backspace? I believe it is about that. The wheels are in lock down right now till I am going to use them otherwise, I would go measure them for you. I love those longchamps :w00t: but you already know this :rofl: I'm still liking the blue tape too. Peanut butter jelly time peanut peanut butter jelly time, love that family guy skit. Thanks bro. I'm pretty crazy about them too :w00t: And I love that show! Quote Link to comment
Creepy Cruiser Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Thanks. I'll check into it. Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 While I went to get my Longchamps, I cruised and perused around looking at all the cool stuff and taking pics. Very cool guys there at Autoplus! The first thing I see are Regamasters... Yum Then a bunch of Euro oldies all owned by the same guy. Even the Civic is a full Mugen Custom Build with custom joustmeister wheels commisioned by the owner. Then inside I saw this cute little turbo and Innercooler setup. (Those are 11" Rotors) Also allot of old school NOS rims. Some Fortran Drags anyone? Then there is this old school Steinmetz Tuned Opel Ascona 240... Check out the BBS wheels on this thing!!

SR20DETdatsun510 Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Wife got jelly? Did she make you sleep on the floor? :lol: Hahaha, No. My bro went with me to pick them up and I stayed the weekend at his house to kick it with my dad that's visiting from out of town. So I got the floor.... BUT..., I had some company as you can see ;) Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted November 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Picked up these NOS 68 Bezels for a great price I could not pass up!! These will give me the look I am going for! Quote Link to comment

K_trip Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I slowed down on the build. Brokenness has finally caught up with me for now and what am I hurrying for anyways? Even if I got it done in 2 months, I could drive it, Shitty weather is coming. Also, if I cram everything into less paychecks, I will not be able to get the quality that I want. Most times quality means more $$$$. So if I slow down, I will not be forced to cut corners... Did that make sense? Nice build for sure! Don't change course now, don't lose sight of your vision, stay the course. Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted November 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 those look mint, congratz Damn dude!! Those are so nice! Ya, I could not pass them up. I private messaged a guy on ebay and I offered him lower than asking price shipped and figured he'd just ignore me or negotiate back up but it floored me when he replied with a "Yes, that's Confirm." (Japlish or something... hahaha) I even still got my eBay points for it too... Score! The last whole NOS 68 grill I saw go on ebay was $900+ without the badge a long time ago and the last NOS 70-73 Bezels I saw went for over $450! WTF? I got these for $160 shipped! I don't always get great pricing on NOS parts but when I do, Whoo Hoo!!!! When you consider buying an average USED 68 grill+bezels without badge for $400+, $160 for NOS Bezels are cheap! Nice build for sure! Don't change course now, don't lose sight of your vision, stay the course. Thanks man! I am not changing course, I am just changing my schedule... Quote Link to comment
