View Full Version : Rims finally came in!
Well... I ended up getting the ROTA Slipstream 16x7 in a +40 offset to replace the stock 15 inchers on my base S14. I'll try to get some before and after pics with the rims and lowering. I also picked up some KYB's GR2's and SusTech springs.

$500 shipped... can't complain, plus that it's the same offset and just 1/2" wider than the SE wheels, the Z32 brakes should clear in the front. That'll be my X-mas gift to me... I want to paint the calipers white and the "Nissan" logo in red or blue.

No problem, I'll have a digital camera on hand tomorrow when I do the springs. I'll get a before/after pic.
These aren't the best pics in the world... but here they go.

The springs sit just right... and the ride quality is damn good. 1.75" is the max one can go w/o having to worry about a rear camber kit. I just wanted something that will compliment the swaybars in the future. Most of the understeer plowing has been cured, but it should be pretty neutral once I replace the rear swaybar with the ST one. Here are some more pics of my wheels and brakes (http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4291472819)

What's your tire size? They look thick.

225/50 16.. i know they look thick considering that the stock SE/LE wheels come with 205/55's, but that tire size is the correct +0 upgrade.
