FnFspeed Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 What specs, if you don't mind me asking? Diameter? Very interested! id let you know if i thought it would help you man i built my own front and rear suspension system you could possibly help you. the biggest diameter you can get is 16 inches, i got 16x12 rears with 2.5 inch backspacing and i got 16x10 fronts 3.5 inch backspacing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patra_is_here Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 the wheels arent rare JDM wheels, they are used light truck wheels. i like the steelie idea, i looked into it but like u said the biggest they had was 16" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan on using Nissan hubs up front, with coilovers front and rear for a 240SX - the suspension designs are so close between the two cars that it just makes perfect sense to use the more available part. Not to mention I'll be building a brake setup that will slow the Earth's rotation, haha. A 16x12, what tire do you plan to run on that? I'm only aware of BFG Radial T/As being THAT wide in 16" flavor. Largest I'd be looking to run is a 16x10 out back, 16x9 up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applaud the fabrication skills there. I've contemplated the entire S13 subframe swap, but have since opted against it. Good to see someone use it though! BTW, your Blogspot doesn't have anything on it. Sorry to hijack the thread guys. I got a little excited at that mention. :thread20jacked8wq: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
