Re: Post pics of your ride!
Woo,I'd love to come.But we've got the kids tonight.If you have one of these on a Saturday night,we'll definitely try to come...
One another note,UPS came today.
My two front wheels and two BS tires to test fit with.Yes,the wheels are haggard.I'll be taking them apart this weekend to polich the barrels,and the faces will be shipped to CCW to be powdercoated with my rear wheels.Some sort of bright silver or something along these lines:

Re: Post pics of your ride!
Picked up another 240 this morning. This time I went with a coupe. Im going to keep it a daily driver for a bit while I build my 240 hatch. Im pretty stoked about having a fairly stock 240sx!

Re: Post pics of your ride!
Test tires mounted.Looks meaty!
Stock front tire versus new front tire size
On car.Front required a 5mm spacer for the tire to clear the spring seat.Ground Controls would alleviate this,which I'll be getting soon.
Rear is with a 12mm spacer,which simulates how the 10" wide,2.5" lip rear wheels would fit
With a little more camber and/or the GCs to eliminate the 5mm spacer,the front is good.The rear will need a little more camber and some pulling on the fender to fit the 10" wheel.It's way closer to working than I thought,but I can't pull the back of the fender(where it meets the bumper)out any more.May just have to go with 9.5" rears.
How the rear will fit with the 9.5" setup(5mm or so spacer will get it out flush)
Tomorrow I'll be pulling the wheels apart for refinishing.First I'll put the rear back on with the 12mm spacer and add a little camber to see how close the 10" wheel will be to working,but I doubt it'll go.
