Keep the pics coming Robin.
Has something been slaughtered in your passenger footwell??

hahaha

iff you look to it like that it could be.
but it is black paint that is being removed with paintremoval acid and the panel under it is painted red when renewed after the previous owner welded it in i guess

Wow, the stance is amazing and tyre fitment is spot on:thumbs:...yes they are going to be haters who will want you to go back to 185 75 14 on 5.5 J rims:rolleyes:...ignore them !

looking at the lines of the car whilst its in its current state of repair, its a shame that Nissan did not make the 2+2 as a pillarless coupe....the lines look so nice without the B pillar stems:devil:

These were available in tabundance earlier in the year...lots of s13 owners bought them. Try rare rims, they are official ROTA importer in uk? Google for their website;)

Beautiful car, but have to say I disagree on the tyre fitment. Dont know why people install spacers to push the wheels out when if you get the right offset you can get wider tyres and still acheive perfect "stance". Plus you have better handling due to having more rubber on the road.

For example -

It's "the in-look" and stretchy tyres doesn't do it for me either........each to his own though. I like to go around corners with LOTS of tread down.

Datsfun, each to their own and all that
From an aesthetics point of view I think stretched tyres make the car look absolutely ridiculous and if you want it to be taken seriously by performance enthusiasts then chavvy gimmicks like that won't cut it
But if all you want to do is tool around McDonalds then your right up there.

From a performance point of view "stretching" the tyres is not a good thing to do as they were designed for specific wheel sizes and as such you are creating additional stress/loads where they weren't designed to be and considering that they are the only thing keeping you in contact with the road then "leave the f**k alone"

But as slowcoach says "it’s the in look"

Because S30 PCD isn't common in "off the shelf" fitment these days and Rota's are less than half the price of a set of custom rims like in your example.
