kenji815 · 04-09-2008, 10:25 AM

I'm debating between a few tire choices

255/35/18
RE01R
Toyo R1R

265/35/18
Dunlop Z1 Star spec
Hankook RS2 Z212

either one you wont have issues with

you're not going to be short on space

the question is how much camber do you want to run.

kenji815 · 04-09-2008, 10:48 AM

up to -2.8 degree in front.. and -1.5 in rear for aggressive setting
I think for daily it'll be some where around -1 to -1.5 all around.

rumor has it.. end of May

grambo · 04-11-2008, 07:45 AM

Updates! Dayum dude...those 265's would be sick!

My toys arrived. Most have been installed. The fruit flavored parts are waiting on a full day to attmept it...

PM me suggestions on the wheel if you have any bro. Otherwise I'll just use "How To's" from the gang on here and NazioC. My journal will be updated to show off your inventory...

Any new stuff for you?

subwrxkid · 04-11-2008, 02:55 PM

ahh yes, 18x9.5 +38 with 15mm kics spacer to convert it to 5x114.3 so the wheels fit.

Someone went widebody. hmmmm!!!!

Now what widebody would suit one of the most jdm company shop cars out there? Time for me to do some research or ask jdmdave.

Update : 04/17

There is a slight delay with the project. I've decided to change bodyshop.
I'm now going with K&W Autobody which was recommended by a friend.
They just finished a Top secret Widebody supra that is going to be featured on DSport.
After seeing their work, I decided it would be a better choice to have my car done there.
Recently they are busy finishing car for bimmer feast, so my car will be going in around next week.

The entire car is going to be resprayed except the roof. :P
ETA to completion : end of May

dlouie87 · 04-14-2008, 04:18 PM

another top secret widebody supra?

autoconcept already has one.

kenji815 · 04-15-2008, 08:29 AM

oh the Supra i saw over at K&W was 100% nicer than the autoconcept one.
Just body work was 15k+
It should be out on Dsport soon.
Look for the dark midnight purple supra with the top secret kit.
:O

I'm not sure.. i've just heard rumors that the car will be featured.
Just on body work and motor work alone is alot of $$$.
