Funnily enough the 513's are on my 260z now, and that's up for sale very soon due to my parents buying a house :( :(

But I'm looking for a new set of shoes for my ZX!! I was trying to get steelies from ToyParts Industries but he is a nightmare to communicate with. I want to go deep dish steelies!!

Ouch :S I'll probably be running spacers to get my ideal stance, hoping to run 15x8 -30 in the front and 15x10 -15 in the rear then tweak with 2 or 3mm spacers to get it perfect!

It may not be the fastest car, but it'll be one of the widest ZX's :P

I hope you mean +30 Zac, with -30 you won't get flares to fit ;D

You could always go my 18's that are still here.........

I won't be going flares on my ZX :P However I'll be incredibly close to my guard with this offset, just what I wanted :D

Your 18's are 18x8 -2 are they not? If they are I'd be interested in getting them after I get back from NZ around the 16th of January!

yep, actually 18x8 1/4" at about 0 to -2mm offset.

No worries on the timing, unless someone comes up with some cash for them in the next couple of weeks they will be here

Time for a decent set of photos of my Z!!



































It's a little bit of a young persons car I agree! But I hope you can all appreciate it within it's own right :)

They're 15x8 and 15x10 zero offset steelies from ToyParts Industries here in Brisbane. I finally got on to him about them but he's closed down now :(
