on the centerline website forget wheel deals and go to build your own..and get whatever u need within reason..more choices and sizes and of course the correct pattern and offset phillip

sorry i forgot you have coilovers..with coilovers you can run wider rims. but i would leave the backspacing the same and go wider.that way you can put bigger tires in there..if you go out then you reduce the size of tire you can put in there. i have no coilovers so i had to go 3.5" bs to accomodate adn because centerline would only go that wide..also centerline will not go wider then 3.5" unless you go 5 lug then the next size up they offer is 9.5"...good luck..the style you picked is nice..phillip

thnx guys. this spoiler has some weight to it for sure..it not a lightweight by any means...does the arizona version have a mark or stamp? does the bre? just curious...i will take a look..if anyone wants a pic of the inside i can do that also..phillip

the rim is to wide. at the very least you would have to roll the fenders and it still may not be enough...the 7" by centerline is plenty wide. this is a customer's carsent to me by centerline with a pic of 17x7 4" backspace rims..i do not know the width.my guess 225 or 215....

oh it is a bre spoiler?..i have no idea what it is worth..i am not sure if i want to mount it yet..thanks phillip

found this at the local junk yard attached to a 240z.it fit perfect on it...who makes it and is it still available? it is made out of fiberglass i believe and bolts to the car.... thanks phillip

i think 4.5 inch backspace will hit the springs...inside.. ok trying this post thing because i forgot how:)

how does 12000mcd hit you? knock yourselves out superbrightleds.com phillip

i have the big sur style...i will post a pic soon ..so you can see..phillip

this will go beyond the wheel well for sure.. so do the 7" at 4" and it will fit to the very end of the rim...the width measurement is the bead. the physical width edge to edge on a 8" rim is closer to 9"..i bought some centerline rims 17x7 with 3.5 bs but i have flares and they do come out a bit.

try doing a search for a guy with a handle of pallnet..i think they were debating differences in their rail designs...

well I did get a response back from david today..and he says he will call me back with prices..so things are looking up...so hopefully i will get a good price...iskone i did send you a few pm's odd that only one got thru perhaps mailbox full or something..i was just concerned i was getting back zero responses after about 2 weeks of trying to get anything.. so we will see... by the way i inquired about 17x9 and 17x8's volk wheels...thanks and if i get a price pm me and i will tell you what it was....phillip

WELL I pm'ed you no response a couple of times now...and i have called r&d whatever the dealer you quoted....nobody it seems has gotten any prices out of you....and as far as that company r&d i have called at least 30 times and no one has ever answered the phone or returned called... thanks for getting me excited for nothing... i am going to order the custom centerlines wheels at centerlinewheels.com they can get you 17" rims with datsun wheel pattern and spacing no problem and are about $150 a wheel.. so sorry ,don't mean to flame but i have done everything to get information and i have gotten nothing.. phillip

try finding a front wheel drive rim 17" any wider then 7 ", that is tough. i want a 17" rim i have flares so i need the rims to come out a little honda style rims wont help because i need the width...

it will look alot better lowered and with wheels in there, i am thinking about 17inch rims i don't think i will go with coilovers(limited funds) but i thing i will need a 9-10 rear and a 8-9 inch front..any suggestions? 3 1/2 flare in the rear and a 2 1/2 in the front.. thanks willpost before pics too when i have a chance and the color is black cherry mica from a 04 miata

i guess its not as ez as i thought it was:(

i must say jim has done an excellent job repainting and modifying this 1973 z..the car was pretty straight but had dings everywhere. He put on metal flares (vb flares) took off all emblems and side marker lights,and we put on a front and rear msa kits..these did not match up with the msa kits..so we modified them and also made the front and rear kits removable..on top of that he installed all new rubber...Jim does great work for a very modest price..he is a great guy and we are now friends..thanks again jim!!

looks like a slide but has potential to be sure...how about a stock 240z dash? please anyone? phillip

The flares are not super wide because it is meant to be a subtle flare that looks slightly wider..I believe its 3 1/2" wider in the rear and 2/12" in the front. The flares have been completely welded and then ground down and blended in i believe. I chose these flares because they were different and they are steel. I may have to run a 9 or 10" rim i am not sure. i am sure i have not seen these flares coupled with a msa aero 2 kit so it should be diferent..Jim has got his work cut out for him thats for sure... now if i could only find a console.......phillip

i think those are victoria britsh flares..those are the one bigjim is putting on the z a few posts down that says one flare complete...

perhaps i will take it!! and you can show it off there..

the car is mine and jim is doing the work for me..as far as tire size i would like to stay with a 16"rim but will have to probably go to a 17" for better tire selection.the car will be painted a 2003 mazda miata black cherry mica..anyone thinking of painting there car should look at the mazda rx8 and miata colors they are fantastic!!I almost changed to the red because of the color..go see these colors in person and you will see what i mean..pics do no justice to these..Jim is doing a great job and putting alot of effort..hopefully what i have selected for this car will look alright...I like these flares ecause they are unique...any way thanks again jim for the work...phillip

hey mark can you post some pics to see how your looks now and maybe how you blended it in?...thanks phillip
