bellicose 9 Report post Posted September 16, 2009 That looks sh*t hot like that, do NOT do the rust thing mate. Don't perpetuate(sp?) the "NZ is years behind the states" thing. Spastic dwarf in the US did his E28 over a year ago and now he's gettin' so much sh*t for it. Rusty bonnet/boot = played out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I think his E28 is hawt as.I agree that Brook shouldn't do it tho, Wouldn't suit the black/white storm trooper look IMO. Colour coded bumpers, iS lip & some wider wheels would be dopeeeee.

JiB 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2009 Would widened steelies involve cutting and welding....I hope it includes heat treatment too :s Brittle failure @ 100kph would not be pleasant. Can't begin to imagine how much unsprung weight would be added with 16x10 steel wheels. Maybe it's just not my cup of tea. Perhaps something like this would be choicer if going for the look?

brockie123 31 Report post Posted September 16, 2009 you could probaly find some 4wd stealies they are super wide with massive dish.. if the centre hole matches.. i know you can get a spacer of some sort in there but am not sure if it is legal. but you'd need to redrill and off set could be an issue. but i don't really know anything about wheels, but i see wide stealies with huge dish at work and wonder.

bravo 34 Report post Posted September 16, 2009 As much as I am for the widened steelies thing - check out tyre availability. I've just spent a week finding tyres for a 14x7" wheel with a similar overall tyre diameter as e30, and there are only about 3 tyres you can get that fit, one of which is rubbish. Do some research before you spend money on the wheels. Keen to see what Johnno has lined up in a 16" wheel though - sounds good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tibbs.james 1 Report post Posted September 17, 2009 (edited) sorry to hijack ..... Bravo Hankook, do a road legal semi slick 205 in 14 and the over all height of the tire is pretty dam close to the 195/65/14's that were on my old 14 weaves the 205 bulged a bit on the 14 weaves so it would be perfect on the 7" rim or even an 8" rim oh and back on topic of widened steelies You do not want to go near a 4wd steel rim, I have them on my garage floor and holey batman are they heavy the steel can be around really thick in places.

bravo 34 Report post Posted September 17, 2009 Cheers dude. In a way you did describe the problem. Tyres DO exist in that size, but they're not common. Other than the semi-slick you mention, there's a POS of a brand I can't remember , and a couple of Toyos that are half decent, and that's about it. Hardly what you'd call a good selection.
