big-phil Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 So those are the 15x8 Sportmax wheels and Classic Datsun ZG flares with no spacers? Wow, that looks really good and was pretty much what I had in mind for my own car. 16x8 Sportmax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big-phil Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 looking damn good as usual phil... might wanna throw a fresh coat of rattle can paint on that air damn to give your car a lil cleaner look for the time being. The rock chips are tearing me up! I was thinking the same thing. Plus I hit some retread on the highway, and cracked the lower lip of the airdam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big-phil Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 Looking bad Phil, Loks like you did a great job of fitting them. Did you cut the metal arch out? Not yet I might do them today if I have time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big-phil Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 Hey phil looks good, But i think the rear flares may be a tad low. The way i was shown to install the flares on the rear was to try and pickup where the inner fender well would intersect the rear 1/4 at is highest point then go 1/4 inch above that. That should line the rear fenders up with the fronts so they follow the body line. I dont have a perfect picture to show you what i mean but look at mine. The purpose for the flares is to be able to run wider tires and also lower the car. you cant do this without cutting the 1/4. Most do this is by cutting the 1/4 panel and match it up with the inner fender so there there is nothing to rub on with suspension at full travel. At any rate here is a couple pics of mine which where installed by a body shop in japan. See how the rear flares are actually above the door handle. In this picture the rears look to be below the door handle. Can you get me some closer pics? If they are too low, I need to fix it now.

Thanh Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I was trying to match Austin's hight of placement. I was thinking the same thing . I think in one of the post on Austin's thread on how to mount ZG Flares, John C from Beta Motorsports showed his picture of how he mounted his flares and its pretty detailed. Here it is! He went alittle bit above the door handle. Hes also running wider wheels and tires though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big-phil Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 look how low his flairs are, with my 16x8 wheels, and 3 inch exhaust that drags a weee bit now. If I raise the flairs will I be able to lower the car enough to get the wheel up into the flair? http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/car/311665231.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtmny1999 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 You should first lower ur car then mount the flares the way you think they look good. I think the rims he has are 17's and they also much wider than yours so the flares are much higher. Plus it depends on how low the car is going to be. -Jt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

datman Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d39/golfg60gti/?action=view¤t=sideviewzgarch.jpg I mounted mine after lowering the car, they are as low as I can get them...when I corner hard with a passenger in the car it rubs slightly on the flare. Mind you I didn't want rock hard suspension...only have 14" 150lb/inch springs on the back but my dampers are adjusted hard. Also my exhuast drags when I drive over sleeping policemen! thats the UK name for speed bumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also my exhuast drags when I drive over sleeping policemen! thats the UK name for speed bumps Sleeping police men haha. I finally mounted the front. I think I did an ok job. Took me awhile to decide how high, but I think It should be fine. I taken a look and notice that one side was alittle higher than the other. Kinda dissapointed me since I had a practice front before I actually did it. Its like a 1/4 inch difference, but I can see it!. Heres the picture. Hopefully when I mount the rear, Ill be ok. By the way Phil I think you should be ok. I think you could still tuck those wheels under with the flare mounted like that if you cut. Stony thats a sweet looking Z!

madkaw Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Hey Phil, I am rereading your posts and didn't see if you mentioned what suspension you are running . Stock springs?? Just trying to find out if the 245's would hit stock perches with the sportmax. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madkaw Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Thanks Phil, that is some exciting news. I don't want to go coil over if i can help it since i have ST springs and new shocks. I might consider cutting my quarters for zgs though. That 245 fills to ZG's just fine in my opinion. Folks that go for the rota rbs(maybe me) will get another 1/4'' WITH THE -4 offset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
