Darius Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 I know some of you are gonna cringe when you see the pics, but I had to do it!! I need traction and this seemed like the best way, I am probably going to sell the rims pictured, I could get them widened but I would like to fit some 19's if possible. I should have it painted within a month, and running in 2. What do you think?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleeperZ Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 Looks outrageous! Let us know if the traction gets any better, or if you still just spin... What tires are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 dude you proably allready know this but going to a 19 inch wheel is not going to help you all that much in the traction department. It will be great for handling but for drag racing you need a smaller wheel with taller tires. The less tirewall flex you have the less traction you will have. I went from running low 11s and spinning thru 2nd gear at the track. to getting traction and breaking axles anyways the flares look awesome keep us posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v8dats Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 looks like the 280yz! i just sold my z but this makes me want to get my fourth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudge Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 ArizonaZCar used to have them, but no longer. I believe its the Widebody Kit, you can find them used now and again, Google will pull up info on em. How about some 18x13" in the rear with 335s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MoNkEy Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 That looks cool, gives it a more road hugging apearance.. Does anyone make a mini-tub kit for the datsun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darius Posted April 28, 2003 Author Share Posted April 28, 2003 The car will be the same color as before, Black. I know 19's wont give me the best grip, especially a 285-30-19. If I go with 17's I would get a wider tire, the reason I would have to go with a 285 in a 19 is it's only 25.6 in diameter vs 27.4 if I went 335-30-19 and I think that would be too big. I found some cool wheels on http://www.imagewheels.co.uk/ that are affordable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
