Put some 8mm that I had laying around on the front wheels to see what it would look like. I like it, but it does rub a little bit haha. I have some 5mm spacers I'm going to try next.
So right now, the rear fitment is 18x10.5 +22 (with 10mm spacer, so +12) and front is 18x9.5 +22 (with 8mm so +14).

Thanks! It was a guy here in town, he rebuilds race cars, he even makes exhausts by hand. He is a magician with metal haha. And he said he would do more if anyone was interested. If you want, PM me and I'll give you his info.

Yeah that's what I was thinking about recently haha. I think it would look good too. And I love those old Z cars, especially with those flares and the headlight covers. Soooo sexy.

I actually bought a set of those to try them on the FD....trust me, they do not look as good on the FD as they do on the datsun. If you look at the site of the datsun where the fenders mount, it is much flatter than the FD. Our rear quarters start lower and much more rounded. To fit them, you had to force the fender against our quarters and the result is it distorts the fender so much that it just looks tacky.
Lesson learned. Just hope to save you guys some time and cash.

Come on Dee, my rear is pulled about 2 inches. You should bite the bullet and just pull it out more! lol

omg.... this is bad for the bank hahah If I could Pull an extra inch that 13-5 would fit lol.
The only thing stopping me is the fact that my pull is so smooth atm and I'd be super mad to pull and end up with something less perfect... you know what, cut your fender and send it my way I'll weld it on my fender LOL
Edit : could you post a picture of your rear from a centered angle please ? I'd like to see how much the wheels poke front the lower point of the car.

Shifty - that definitely was a valid point that i didnt really think about, thanks for ending my dream lol. thought it would have looks so good. the front didnt really make sense in my head, but the back did haha.
Bewtew - what size tires do u run on your beast?

Do it Dee... pull your rears... go hard...
well at the moment with my set up.. my rears should be pretty damn flush on the 18x12 -17.... but with 1.5 degrees i can go wider... hmmm maybe i should get a new outer barrel for the rears and go 13.5......
but deff gonna change my tire size up front.. gonna run 245 35 18 instead of my current 224/40...
i just cant wait to post more pics of the final product....

What do you mean, centered angle? You mean like take a pic from above the fender looking straight down?
