Hi MIke,

Nice work - good to see you are getting back into it. It takes a while to get settled after moving house hey?

What sort of welder are you using to stitch it all back together? Is it a Gasless MIG? Just a guess.

Reason I ask is cos its my next "save up $$ and get" thing.

Darren.

Im not doing the welding, and to be honest i dont know much about it... altho I'd love to learn! We are using a MIG but its not gasless.

I'll try take some more photos tonight with a wheel fitted

Ok, so the centers don't bolt right up as you can see by the first photo, so I'll have to get them machined a little to fit. No dramas, just a but more $$$

Ive never been one to skimp on the pictures, and that's not changing this time either! here we go

And then i realised the wheels are staggered offset! One pair has at least an inch more dish.

I might need some narrower tyres to get the stretch im after

that tyre looks waaay too big, what size is it?

Your gonna need at least a 175/50 to fit/stretch it

Its a 205 50 15 so its not to big, it will give a stretch, but not heaps. I'll look into getting some other tires if i don't think it does it justice.

This is a 195/50/15, wouldnt exactly call that stretch

Im thinking i may have to redo the guards another 50mm wider haha

Took one wheel in to get priced this afternoon. Should now costs by tomorrow. Got home and decided to rip a couple more wheels apart ready for modifying. I trial fitted one on the front end of the car (keep in mind it sits about an inch further out than it would for real)

Hell that is some deep end of the pool dish there! Keen to see what it will look like with the stretch and the widebody :]

Going for a Bosozoku look?
