Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Test fitted the arches last night. going to need ALOT of work to make them fit properly! i think its worth it though ;) took a quick snap ( not the best pic ) and this is my version of photoshop LOL! let me know what you think if someone could do a propper photoshop with some actual wheels on id love them forever Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pick1 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Looks good mate how u planning on fitting em ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 rivets they need cutting and reshaping and then painting. also need to find someone to cut out my arches too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Unless you're mounting them lower 15s will be too small IMO, you'll need a 16" wheel probably Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 you recon ? im not wanting mega lows . id like it to still to preform well and 16's wouldn't been my first option! we shal see what happens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Yeah just looking at the size of the arches, they seem to open up a lot wider than the original arches. 195/50/15 would maybe just about fill it but nobody likes fat tyres haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 I was thinking 195 50 15's tbh! I think they look okay as they have a little strech! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pick1 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 195/50/15 ftw Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lew777 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 you recon ? im not wanting mega lows . id like it to still to preform well and 16's wouldn't been my first option! we shal see what happens Needs mega wheels and very low to make the archs work imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulStarletSR Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Needs mega wheels and very low to make the archs work imo ^^^^ this. but will look sick if done right josh, you dirty, filthy slag! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Is the lip from ID-workz mate? If so do they come already smoothed like that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 well once its all together we will see ;) alex yes its an id-workz lip. and what do you mean smoothed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 well once its all together we will see ;) alex yes its an id-workz lip. and what do you mean smoothed? Think he means in one part. rather than two, like the gen ones Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 ahh yes its already smooth in one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Guessing you'll be going 8J, yeah 195 will stretch but IMO 50 profile looks rubbish, 45 looks much cleaner stretched Edited February 6, 2013 by Amjad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Looking good Josh! ;) Is the lip from ID-workz mate? If so do they come already smoothed like that? I think you're referring to the number plate cutout that the original one has in the middle. Our replicas have that smoothed over as we know most of you guys use a FMIC.

Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 just looking at prices of tyres and i can get Nankang NS2's for £130 for a set so better than i thought i just remember looking last time and seeing the prices of them compared to the 50's!

Amjad Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I'd find it worth stumping a little more for 45s for the sake of fitment issues! Gonna go for 45 rainsports myself, best tyres EVAR! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beastmode panda Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 If you're going wide arches etc the last thing you wana do is go all stancey and fuck about with stretched tyres bro! Time attack calls for 205/50/15's period . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 True, but you don't want the monster truck look! Wider tyres only look good if they're something like R888s or other slick style ones Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beastmode panda Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Mine is hahaha, 15x7 205/50/15 r888's . I love the big beefy track look. Don't get me wrong i go love a bit of stance, but trying to stance a starlet - never gona look right (imo of course). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Time Attack > stance, period. spend ten minutes reading speedhunters, some of the time attack stuff from Japan, its class, very inspiring. Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 i think the kind of stretch on the wheels is minimal compared to some cars, it will still be usable and still look good ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
