Post pics of inspirational S-bodies

The only thing that lets it down is the bodge it and scarper rear pull. Im sure the only reason its noticeable is because the rest of the thing is spot on.

I agree, you've got a keen eye but now its blatantly obvious to me.. I think I can even see cracked paint..

..Rest of the car is Awesome

Got my mits on some more pics of that '15, sure you guys wont mind seeing some different angles!

i so need those wheels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[zeppelin101]

You so need to not quote a post full of images!

What were the width/offset on the fronts?

Rear 18x13 ET-10

Front 18x10.5 ET+12

200jim - get out.

Quail - I usually find our tastes are in alignment. However on this instance I put to you good sir........it needs staggered wheels - fronts look too big. Are they 19"s??!

totally agree, thats a shocking mess

[Quail]

I can't tell if they're 19s, I'm on my phone. I don't reckon the fronts look too big though, newer cars seem to pull off 19s OK. I haven't seen TEs with that much lip either - maybe an option with larger wheels?

Saying that 18/19 stagger = gangster.

EDIT - according to zilvia they are 19s, and they look big in the side on shot because of the 17mm lens

Damn that S15 is the shit, I want one now(like a little kid)

[sx boy]

Fantastic looking car ,but is it me or , as soon as the rear suspension is compressed that lovely volk wheel f*cks-up the wheel arch .!!!

[Pantera Chris]

Dare I say it. The rear is too low. Id rather have a usable, daily car that looks that good. Especially on UK roads!

[sx boy]

Yep i agree , even if the inside of that arch is hammered to perfection that rim is gonna do a great job of re-arranging that arch lip . if not its ssssssssssooooooooooooooooooooo close .

[JDMgravy.]

I think running the suspension super stiff is the price you pay for hardcore fitment! It's a good thing it aint a UK car eh!

[Jord]

I'm fairly sure your wrong, as the suspension compresses the top of the wheel travels inwards - hence why this doesn't rub* -



*OK it does rub but what I said is still true.

[Si]

Surely not dude? Fitment is perfect. Wheel in line with edge of fender.

Yup, I prefer a bit more pokey outyness than that - I 'd honestly prefer it if it was maybe 10mm further out, and I reckon the fact that raising the rear by a few mm to gain the clearance (from the compression tuck) may actually help balance the stance.
Hell, I reckon it it was raised 10mm the wheel might actually come out enough for my liking.

Too much camber for me too.

yup, I that car! In my eyes tyres look horrible and should be covered as much as possible, especially between the 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock positions on a wheel (does that make sense?)

Where can you get cheap 19's in man sizes?

[Cloudy]

Looks ok but the rear wheels don't stick out enough (plus looks too low) and the rear arches look like they've been attacked by a 4 year old boy with his daddy's hammer

See, I'm the opposite, I hate that look - I hate the way it takes away from the shape of the rear tyres, and takes it away from being a sweeping circle into a weird squadgy shape - Don't get me wrong, I don't want to see all the tyre and dollops of inner arch, but I just think that a bit of tyre makes it look more cohesive.

I also think that it sucks when the amount of tyre visible on front and rear is so noticeably different.

Then again, that's all personal taste

[piman2k]

More proof that oversized wheels are king of the fail hill. That looks silly, despite the absolute awesomeness of the wheels. I bet it would be totally different if you fitted them to a 350Z. I think (if I understand Si right) that I agree with him about rear arch shape. It looks pants.

Ace wheels in silly size + Ace Car = Ultimate Fail

[zeppelin101]

I'm finding it hard to see what's to get excited about anyway - it's another stock body car with massive wheels on it and nothing else.

The brakes look pathetic inside the oversized wheels, the arches are horrendously pikey spec (which I could approve of if the rest of the car wasn't trying to be so clean) and the car generally looks like it's trying too hard.

17/18s rather than 19s and some more work and it would be decent. As it is it reminds me of the "internet legend" status that Honda boys go for

[Pantera Chris]

its not a stock body kit is it.

Agree with wheels being too big. I like to see tyres as well. I nice design of tyre can really set the rims off.

Anyway white S15s with white wheels are sooooooo much WIN.
