he didn't have the front clip. they drop shipped the motor/tranny on a pallet outside the garage. just kinda took it and all it wires and shrink wrapped it. it was a mess. alot of the parts were bad, and/or had to be replaced. not only was he not drinking none of us did. well at least for the first 3-4 days.

maybe like 30 or 32 mm offset, for a deep dish look. and 225 on an 8 inch rim? i'm rolling 225's on my 16x6's. you should be at least 245 i'm guessing by that width. the larger tread section should help out quite a bit...

not tryin to be an ass or anything, just making a observation.

8 inch wide up front +25 - +32
9 inch wide in rear +30 - +38

All depends on what size tire you want to run, if you have coilovers, yada yada yada...

There you go smart guy.

Clean car man. I've been trying to get some nissan meets going around here. My only problem is i have a hard time doing weekends, I usually go to Richmond. Greaser is the most widely known SR knowledgeable person in the 757. You can find him at Millenium Motorsports in Portsmouth i believe. I can also hook you up a bit if you need. I have a blacktop motor in my S13 done by HeavyThrottle, and I completed the Zenki Sileighty body stuff last year. Just finished doing a blacktop swap on my brother-in-law's car a few months ago. So let me know if you need help or want to meet up sometime, I'm in Newport News.

Here's a pic, you might have to adjust your screen to see it, it's dark.
