TRsome Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Formula mesh is out of the picture for now. He may still sell them to me somewhere down the line. I'm actually ok with it.. I can shift the money elsewhere. Anyways: Hm... still can't tell if I'll have a problem here.. but the stretched tires should make it work: Quote Link to comment

Anyways: Hm... still can't tell if I'll have a problem here.. but the stretched tires should make it work: yeah i definately should've went a little negative on my setup aswell, i got the same problems on my 9.5's hoping a 205/45-55/16 tire wont rub anything. What tire size you trying to run and whats ur specs? Quote Link to comment
TRsome Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 225/50/15s stretched on 10.5 inches on the rear... 205/50/15s stretched on 9.5s in the front. I actually think I'll make it just barely with the 4.5 inches of backspacing. If not.. I'm planning on going s13 coilovers soon anyways to get enough room to clear. Quote Link to comment
Rustbucket Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Under compression I'd think those would tuck just inside your flares just fine. If you haven't already ordered tires - I'd look in to some 225/45's for the rear. You can get some cool tires at really affordable prices in that size. Your tire profiles would be a lot closer with those in the rear also. Regardless, car's looking awesome! Quote Link to comment
TRsome Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Thanks man! I guess its kind of hard to look at my own car and think that its up to par with some of the others around here. You're right about the cool tires in 225/45... I already have the 225/50s on order.. but I'll have to see how these stretch and look on the car. Quote Link to comment

TRsome Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 The famous guy. Hah, its nice to see that people at least want to take a picture of the car. To be honest though, I still can't look at my car and put it in the same class as yours and other people's on this site. I think this was a case of good timing. 1 Quote Link to comment

TRsome Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 These came in from japan over the weekend while I was in LA. The glass, trim, and bases are rough, but luckily it looks like those are all replaceable with my current mirrors Quote Link to comment
TRsome Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 So... I decided to take a hiatus from the project. I've been unsuccessfully trying to save for a house (and a garage) for the last 6 months and I decided to stop putting money into the car so I can actually get there. I'll still lurk around and might jump on a few deals if they come my way, though. Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 On the zcc flares, I get some pretty major gaps between fender and flare in the front. Some big enough I can stick a finger through. I looked around, and really couldn't find any images of anybody else running them. I've never seen these gaps when people are running MSA though, so I thought I would give it a shot and just sell whichever flares fit worst. I'm running MSA flares and the gap without welting is very small, like 1/8 at its biggest, and barely. I dont like zcc, they have had a lot of public complaints and a lot of their shit seems sketch to me. How they can be so taxed on in house or local sourced stuff but then so cheap on "jdm sourced" parts?seems fishy to me. Quote Link to comment

Such a waste of money. =/ Quote Link to comment
