Shant was nice enough to let me drive his car since I've been on the fence about a SR20 swap on SCSunday. Got to say, it was nice! What's really a bonus is that it has enough power with 2 guys in it. Car has a bad ass stance and I'm completely sold now. This is the way it was meant to be. ROTA really finishes it well. Thanks Shan't,

Anything in the front? or is it all stock except for your Datsunparts.com lowing springs?
i used the hub adapter/spacer 4x114.3 to4x114.3 about $60 for the pair

Wheels look fantastic! Would love to see a write up on the flare install if you ever get a chance

If you can park it, and not turn around to look at it when you walk away...

But Tom you've got killer quad-throttle U20, it must feel the same.

Quad throttle is still nice in its own way, I just want one of each!

I want to run these wheels in a 15x7 +0 195/50/15. but im unsure if they will clear the 300zx BBK and if the tire will clear.

Is anyone else running these wheels without flares?

Not these wheels, but here is a 15x7 +0 on 195/50/15
Front

Rear fenders rolled and 205s

15x7 +0 on my own roadster:

Every wheel is different with respect to spoke/caliper clearance, as is every roadster's fender clearance.

Thanks Alvin, I like the reflection of the other wheel in the last pic ... a little surprised the stats on it are absent :smt005

Happy Holidays to you Alvin

Flares installed I tried to use 15x7 0 offset enkie wheels with the 300zx brakes and it didn't work. Then I tried the 15x8 +10 offset and they fit perfect. Apparently sometimes you just need to test fit the wheels on the car. I can possibly test fit my wheels on a roadster without flares and share the results !!!
