Lowered B.S. Thread

Better get to work on em my friend stop the chitty chat haha

 

Not yet! I have one side fitted up but I am waiting till summer so the heat will help cure the ABS cement better, It is coming though. Once the sides are done everything else will fall into place. The turbo is for my Datsun 260z.

 

Off topic of boost......can anyonentell me where I can get 1 inch spindle spacers made and 5 inch tapered blocks for the rear? I want to add an inch more all the way around to djm kit.
thanks for your help in advance!!

 

Phil for the spacer and Beefed Tacos for the blocks but I think he only makes 4.5 blocks

 

I can do the spacers, I'd go 6lug leafs and 4" blocks. Or do xii perf drop leafs and an even smaller block to combat axle wrap

 

Thanks alot guys!.....phil, whats the axle combat you're talking about?

 

Oh another thing.....where can I get stock 6 lug leafs? I cant find them anywhere

 

First wheel me likey !!! i would get em over all the other choices even the x runners

 

your truck can fit 7.5 and 8 all day long it can fit 10's too haha you should see the first gens here in Hawaii some have some badass fitment but depends on the look you going for small stretch, beefy, or just tuner look
what size tire you want to run

18x8.75 +35 which they offer should fit its pretty much will sit just as a stock XR wheel does however it will poke out 4.5mm more and will sit 14.5mm more inside (toward the leaf) real not much there is a guy running 20x10.5 +40 vessels on a first ten tucking rim

persoanlly 18x8.75 on 225/40/18 would be my choice it is slightly stretch but gives the tire a fatty look vs. the whole rim poking out the tire which is scary but like i said all depends on the look you are trying to achieve

 

Yeah I know what you mean I am not a fan of super stretch either though it's cool for shot just not for practicality on a truck I'll try link a pic for you on a idea of a 225/40/18 on a 18x8.75

I ran these tires on 18x8 and the side walls were more than straight so shouldn't be too bad

Bam here is the link for your general idea I like this look makes the tire look beef and wider than it is with ought have the rim poking out looking ridiculous waiting for a pot hole

 

OOPs try it now

 

You'll tuck up to 10.5, voodoo was running 10.5 front to rear on his S with coilovers and 4-link. So running 8.75 shouldn be an issue Seth. Our axles are the same, I have 9.75 and am still clearing my axle U-Bolt mount. As for the wheels, 535's out of the choices provided. But I still like the ones I originally linked you

The further you mount the axle from the leaf pack the more prone to rotating away. Now that I have LSD in the rear, my axle wrap is very prevalent

Watch the vid, notice the axle wrapping under load. When this happens at a 4.5/5.5 drop the shaft hits the tranny tunnel at the ebrake line locations on the cab.

Which one's are the 522's?

 

Link you SOB, you know better

 

What color?

 

You gonna at least follow Daddy's advice and wrap them in these?

BEST TIRES EVER

 

Cuz you cant beat the price for the performance.

 

Just looked at that chart, they don't make any usefull sizes.

 

What size are you trying to get?

 

I'd like something in the 295/35 305/35 area off the top of my head. I know whatever I settle on are going to cost me an arm and a leg. Running 275/40's right now, I hate them.
