Hey all,
Ive owned SCORES of Zs and 510s, but only 1 roadster, and the roadsteris all the emotions of the other cars rolled into one and SQUARED.

I am hoping to flare it in the back (for 0 offset 15x7 Panasports), run a VG30 turbo and 5 spd, bigger front brakes (maybe the ines off the donor 300), slightly narrowed t bird turbo rear end, white face Autometers, Corbeau seats, and FLAWLESS black paint.

ANY suggestions/tips/pro and con advice/friends who paint and or fabricate/ you may have are welcomed.

THX in advance.

First off- WELCOME!!
Only tips this early on are - Pictures!!! (For us now, and during the whole process!)
Second - study this whole forum, there is information on everything you propose - someone here has been there and done that at some point!

third- put your location in your profile

Welcome!

You can run 15 x 7 wheels in the rear without flaring the fenders - you just need +12 offset wheels. That's what I run - w/ 195 width tires.

Cheers
James
