Ok so here goes im gonna try my best to answer any questions you may have on how i did this. the wheels themselves are 15x13 -94 (15x11 up front) but i had to run lug adapters since they are 4x114.3. They are Ronal Racing wheels, aluminum barrels and magnesium faces. these weigh as much as a stock steelie lol. i got these form a local guy who bought em from a wheel collector and he couldn't tell me what they came off of. in fact i cant find anything about the wheels online anywhere. ok so heres the work that was done.
the lip of the rear wheels
heres how they looked when i got em
then with some mothers polish and tons of polishing
heres the car about 2 weeks ago. no mirrors no flares
Just a little poke :P
for the flares i used 3/32 thick plastic. heres the first one cut out next to my cardboard template
i used aluminum to make a skeleton for the flares to screw to. also you might ask why are there 2 sets of holes from the old flares? i owned t sets of bbist flares. the holes didnt line up. can you say quality fail? haha
heres the cutting and hacking that eugene and i did to the rear.
first flare on along with some new datsun mirrors
the second one done
and finally all 4 done with pipes on.
So since i know it's gonna get said yes the rear tires are way too big. the only thing available in a 15 for a wheel that wide is racing tires. the ones i need are about 230 a piece so those are on hold for a little bit. the flares were a biiiiiiiiiitch to do. finally went out and got a dope dremel with the saw attachment and that sped things up a bit i had to buy several sheets of plastic because i messed up on a couple of em. the fronts are cut up as bad as the rears including the kit. i can still barely turn the car. 19 point u-turns FTW! the front flares will be trimmed down a bit more as well this is just as it sits right now. i gotta give a big thanks to eugene (eav10xb) for his help and making me finish it up when i was just beyond pissed off at the whole project. the tires up front are 225/50 on an 11in wide and the rears i will be gettin are gonna be 275/35. umm if you have any questions or comments post em up! thanks
