[jasonrsink]

i want mine tolook similar to this...
http://a721.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/53/l_45d66f83dcf49828f20e529f7b96fdb0.jpg

so i bought a bunch of stuff locally off the retired enjuku s13.4 formula d coupe
http://storesense.megawebservers.com/stores/HS318/catalog/quali2.jpg

possibly thinking about transfering fender flares as well

let me know what you guys think...
_
headlights will be usdm with black EXPEL tint(just like enjuku used blue in this ^ pic) and lights and corners
full origin aero (as seen in pic above)
30mm overfenders
wangan wing
16x10 -18 et diamond raching wheels 225/50/16 all the way around
badgerwerks coils
fresh oem black paint

i would think you'd drag your aero on the ground..

[garagelu]

its not going to look right. Its going to look like a fat girl with skinny legs. With a full body kit, 17's barely make it. 18's look perfect with a kit. You will regret it if you put 16's on.

[ripnbst]

Run a stagger 17 fornt and 18 rear, looks sick on S13 coupe or hatch.

[WagDatto]

I'm usually game for 15's-16's on S13's, but not with a kit like that. Go with a 17/18 stagger or flat out on 18's. Like GarageLu said, you'll regret it if you dont.

[soreballz]

Looks like he's already got the 16s... why not try it? If its too low or looks dumb, get new wheels. If you like it... More power to you.

But, IMO... Diamond Racing steelies of any size are gonna look retarded with aero, unless you replicate the Rocket Bunny car and go for more of a Nascar sort of look. lol

[bejota180sx]

with 16`s you get that track car setup like the pic above (black car) but if u want to look like the black vert that style/look i think you should get either 17-18s... it all depends what you want your car to look like but also your personal opinion is what really matters it your car not a company car so do it how you feel it should look like...

[jasonrsink]

definitely will be a track oriented car. i silde it evryone other weekend at various events in florida


just installed new expel tint for kouki headlight for the s13.4 conversion. perefect for the look im trying to aCHIEVEhttp://a157.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/8/l_9cfa29caa43cb419c5678e015005770c.jpg

and you guys know why black hatch above has fender flares???
HES COVERING UP A LITTLE GASP IM SURE CUZ HES ON 16S. FENDER FLARES HIDE GAP SO WELL

[rb25jun]

how did you get the housing to be black?

[kozynissan]

get full wides body if your going to do it, the rear looks awkward. Kouki front on the convert doesnt look that great. Would look better with either of the factory bumpers. imo.

[bejota180sx]

i love that car... i dont know i just look at it and i only think of that car hitting the track at everything it can hahaha

if its track oriented well then at least in my opinion it would look killer and sexy but thats me i have weird appeals... but like i said its up to you and what you feel and like on it...

btw that tint looks awesome on the headlights not to dark yet its still visible that it is tinted i love it...

[lilredstiffy]

Sell your 16s, get 17s.

16s have horrible sizing,pricing, and selection- especially for race-y tires, if it is going to be a track car.

The sidewalls on 16s with a bodykit look out of place anyway.

[O3DigitalBath]

...16s just don't make any sense....

Like its been said over and over in this thread already, You have shit for tire sizes and it just looks dumb. If you want dumb looking go 15s, at least you could argue the cheap/good tire selection, or even easier to find if you are just going around searching for used tires like fucking everyone else in florida.

sell what you have, get 17s, call it a day.

[ericcastro]

Agreed. 16's wont look right with that kit and front end conversion.

and, NO, you cant put the fender flares on over fenders. it is possable, but will look retarded.
there was a kid in another thread that needed some flares desperatly. sell him all 4 for a bill??

[Suk02Si]

I run 16's with full aero, its okay looking. I would rather run some 17's, but tires are expensive, lol.

[hotlavaflow]

First thing you need to do is get rid of those ugly fender flares (and sell them to me) lol. Then get some 17's and call it a day.

Seriously though I want your flares. What's good?

Nice tint on the lights btw.

I love that car minus the wing. The graphics aren't too obnoxious either. IMO.

[!Zar!]

Overfenders yes, flairs, no.

16's? Eww this isn't nine years ago.

Wangan wing - a big hell no. DON'T

Paint will look nice as long as you put money into it and don't run macco/earl cheapies.

[Flybert]

16's look like trash on cars with kits. There are no exceptions. The Rocket Bunny car above looks to have 17's on it so that might be throwing you off. Federal 17" tires are cheap as hell. There's no excuse for not being able to afford them.

Exactly.

/thread

[azndoc]

17/18.

Done and done.

Will you be drifting the car?

If not then get the 17/18 and make it look right.

Just my opinion.

[jrocslider]

no on the 16's... especially those

if you want ur car to remotely resemble that black baller S13.4 you'll need about 1500 plus on (used) wheels alone.

just sell ur wheels and get 17/18 like everybody is saying.

i'd listen to these guys cause they know what theyre talkin about

[bejota180sx]

who cares if they know dude, not personally attacking you, im not doing that at all... its just well its his car he should do it how he wants it, theyre good at knowing whats good on theyre cars... not others... he should listen to theyre opinions and do what he wants not do what others tell him to do...

btw... i think the bunny rabbit DOES have 16... not sure i thought i read it somewhere... and also to add to the subject...

i keep saying personal opinion goes over every other persons opinion its your car, but if u want that "track" look 16s area good option but if u want to look like the black vert i recomend getting bigger wheels... in my opinion get any wheels you like but dont use flares with that kit use some overfenders...

[jasonrsink]

Sell your 16s, get 17s.

16s have horrible sizing,pricing, and selection- especially for race-y tires, if it is going to be a track car.

The sidewalls on 16s with a bodykit look out of place anyway.

tires are free all day 215 55 16 205 55 16 eevrywhere in tampa just layin around, oh and i checked/compared specs of 225 50 16s to 225 45 17s and 225 40 18s...GUESS WHAT??? all the same height ~25inches...that means my sixteens with tires are the sam in height as a comparable 17 or 18 inch wheel....uh huh, thats rite its all in the math : )
ILL GET RID OF AERO BEFORE MY WHEELS
WOULD RATHER HAVE NO AERO AND STOCK KOUKI FRONT WITH NO AERO...IF IT ENDS UP NOT LOOKIN RIGHT.btw my wheels come out past the body exactly 20mm in the front 30 mm in the rear perfect for using just overfenders and no FF...

I LOVE THIS CAR TOO btw ajnd its on 16s and i have exact same skirts

[jasonrsink]

Kouki front on the convert doesnt look that great. .


r u freakin serious, u dont think the halken car looks sweet as hell??!! and not cuz of the wheels, cuz i hate em...http://a721.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/53/l_45d66f83dcf49828f20e529f7b96fdb0.jpg

http://www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/images/users_photo/otousan06-rps13-2.jpg

I can get those wheels 16x8 0 offset but it seems I can get 17" tires for less than 16's and in better sizes. So I'm holding off. 17's are gonna be what your looking for to mimic that Vert. Actually to get near that Vert you should be looking at 18's.

[hotlavaflow]

How much for the flares?

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

16's look like trash on cars with kits. There are no exceptions. The Rocket Bunny car above looks to have 17's on it so that might be throwing you off. Federal 17" tires are cheap as hell. There's no excuse for not being able to afford them.

So with your math, why don't you just run 13" tires with a 80series sidewall?

Then you can have even smaller wheels!

[jasonrsink]

ha naw but its true! i think 50 series 16 inch tires fill up the wheelwell perfect

[kaking]

hatches can do 16's with a full kit and look good. coupes are better off with 17's or 18's depending if your up for the challege of slidin bigger wheels. good suspension setup and you'll be fine while lookin pretty with you kit ;-)

you do events every other weekend...youll be fine

[idahotuner]

those steelies you have are sick. they would be awesome track wheels or to mount soem drag radials on

Uh you have a man stuck in your bumper!! Must have been a photographer lol.. i joke i joke. Nice car though. I was thinking of 16's myself. I tend to go for ole school wheels and most of the sweet one are 16's. I would say that you should go with 17's. It will look better. 16's looking hot is a hit or miss. Few have reached that glory. 17/18 stagger is sweet too.
