mull Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Just wondering how wide you thought would be correct. So your comment/opinion is that the tire width doesn't match the fender width rather than the tires should be wider. You can have what ever opinion you want, I couldn't care less, I just wasn't clear what it was. If you get wider rims, usually, you go with wider tires as well (at least, I would). I'll blame my being swedish for saying "rim" instead of "wheel" or "rim + tire" ... I'm sorry. I really didn't think anyone could misinterpret: "Should'nt the rims be about 2" wider? : )" But ok, here goes: I think the rims/tires/wheels should be about 2" wider (towards the edge of the flare) to eliminate/reduce the amount of space between the edge of the wheel and the edge of the flare. To make a long story short: It looks like installing widebody-flares and keeping your stock tires/wheels/rims. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO somethings could be a little different but thats only my opinion and the builder is entitled to do whatever HE wants (or what the owner wants:lol:).

wingnutthehutt Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Isn't it great how careful most of us are not to step on anybodies toes? I doubt I'll see someone say, "What the !@# were you thinking" about any datsun without following it up with "as long as you like it, it's cool. Be yourself, do your own thing. I may not see the point of putting an Allison I16 in there, but hey, it's not mine, it's yours." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I visit at least 10 other Forums with other car makes, but Hybridz is the best, because of how friendly/professional it is. This is the only place where you can find and read what you want without shifting through loads of BS/Trash Talking, I hope it stays like this here, good job admins for keeping the peace.

Clifton Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Cool. He painted it. I see he swapped motors since I saw it last too. Last summer he said he was going to try to have it ready for MSA. I know he's going but is he bringing it out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, 100%. I can read all day and learn more in an hour than I would in a month anywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
