Well it's been almost 4 months since anything on here...had the MOT recently though. She passed and came back with no advisories well pleased considering her age There has been progress and I have been uploading photos to my OneDrive since December so pictures are on the way, just need to get them on here in one big chunk! hopefully tonight stays free

Cheers Grundy, good to know Clearing the Brembos is a concern but I guess if spacers are needed then I'll have to get them. Hopefully "Gargoyle" gets back to me 9.5j - comes in et 15/20/22/25 so there's choice 10j - comes in et25

Hi everyone, After spending considerable time last night doing some investigation in what alloys to go for, wheel sizes/stretch/fitment (10pm-1am and 50 open tabs later - time flies! ) I decided to get some sleep an ask the question on here. Basically I want to get this right before 'just impulse buying alloys, then posting on here for help because they don't fit'. Currently I have new tyres all round (2 months old if that), 225/45 up front and 245/45 on the rear, I'm keeping these with intent to fit on the new alloys with some stretch. Searching online and here gave me an insight into what the potential look will be like: pjf1985 - running 225/45 up front with 9.5j alloys / 10.5j rear on 245/45, acceptable stretch on his pictures, my rear would be 10j so I would have slightly less stretch in that aspect Grundy - saw some pictures showing his stretch with a 225/45 on 9 or 9.5j - cant remember but again small stretch here at an overhead view, looked ok. I know a lot of people don't like stretched tyres but this is what I'm going for. Japan Racing JR3 alloys in the following: Fronts - 18" 9.5j Rears - 18" 10j So basically I want to get it right with the correct ET and not have to use spacers from the outset on clearing the Brembos. Gargoyle - has these exact wheels fitted, mentioned needing 3mm spacers to clear the Brembos? I have mailed him to find out what ET his were from Tarmac so I can go from there. Anyone else on here with JR3's that would be helpful too? Hoping due to the 'concave' design of the wheels they clear? - to note (not sure if relevant) I have coilovers on order along with camber arms and toe correction. Car will be lowered with intent to nicely close the arch gap. Apologies for the bible write up, just want to get all the info on here and get it right before buying What do you guys recommend ET wise for those sizes though? Thoughts? Thanks, Dan

Done

Great idea Bradders, my eBay watch list is full of stuff, just got some of this well priced and they had the colour I needed where others did not: http://www.ebay.co.u...=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Great pictures and cars! That 350 though, love it

Worth an offer too...come collect mine in Medway? £35, Standard backbox and mid-pipe (not welded together) Took it off at about 22,000, sat in my garage since.

I never followed through with this but I did message the seller about it last year... He'll direct you straight to Ultra Racing themselves. Had no clue on any extra cutting needed and had no other photos of it fitted to a 350z, just a heads up

Wondered who's Zed those dipped parts were for the other day, saw it on Demon Dipping's Facebook page. Being 5 mins away from them think I'll be heading down there too yours look great

Yeah I had massive sun glare lol, so couldn't see you waving at all! And cheers Whereabouts in Medway are you then?

Looks good mate! saw you about an hour ago coming out of Medway City Estate

As above my rear LEDs also turned up on the 6th safe and sound Well pacakged and went straight on the car in about 15 minutes! Great service and communication from Ewen throughout, thanks guys. Sure to be a repeat customer

This is very close to me and looks really good! ...but my car is definitely not show-car worthy on standard suspension and alloys edit: Looks too good to say no so I'm in! 1) AmyZed 2) Grundy 3) Dunks 4) DDay 5) Blaqkaudio

Locking wheel nut...

What's the mileage on the coilovers matey? I ask as your only £35 off Driftworks price delivered brand new on these...

Spotted last night about 8pm roughly I'd say. I was coming down Danes Hill (towards Strand) just past the speed camera as the road goes downhill. Saw you at the bottom waiting to come out of Dial Road. Was dark and had only a second as it rolled into side view. Silver Zed (not roadster) with Rays alloys, standard looking, possibly facelift

Welcome along! Get some pics up

Insert -private road- to validate going 150mph in one of your examples will not go down well on here, all I'm going to say. Cue high-ranking members delivering justice any moment now...

Good to see you've got a progress thread up and going Watching this one

Got my bits ordered, cheers Tarmac

Yes! Bonnet dampeners here I come then You have pm Tarmac

Carterbury area, you? Gillingham / Twydall area buddy I did the refit at twydall post office recently lol Nice, we're a tiny community with only a few decent shops, so kudos to you for improving the postie

Car looks great mate, best colour touring wheels in black look good too! Had the same problem as you, bought a pair of LEDs elsewhere last year and had to return them for small corner damage! As you say though these things happen, Clarke will sort you out I'll have to wait a while for mine...

Carterbury area, you? Gillingham / Twydall area buddy
