No problem...

SEM is just a simple as painting anything else.....

The vinyl on the other hand is a lot more involved...

Had fun checking out your swap tonight man. Look forward to meeting up again so I can show you progress on my build!

No problem was good to see a fellow SC in my area......

There is no rush with a build.....usually the more time you take the better the result....

Installed 15mm spacers on the rear.....effectively making them 18x8 +15...Ending up making them perfectly flush on the rear...and enough room to fit a 255






I am gettting new tires installed....going with a 245/35 Front and a 255/40 Rear...and adding a 15mm spacer up front

The cold weather is making it impossible to get any traction.....but its more fun!!!

Wow! Those 15mm spacers make a big difference, I like the look.

i need spacers, but i want some poke so i'd probably go with 25 also, stretched tires would look sweet with a bit of poke i think. but yours look sweet as well, can't wait to see some more.

Thanks....personally I would not run bigger than 15mm....

Yep for now.....I am still keeping my eyes open to see what kind of deals there will be on wheels during Black friday...

Ultimately I think I will use these 350z touring wheels and 15mm spacers all around for a track setup at some point...with Hoosier R6 racing tires

I've been trying to get on the dyno....but it has been tied up with anoter build......Plan on trying to get the SC in soon

But in the mean time......Bought myself a set of wheels for the SC...

XXR 521 in Machined Finish (NLMotoring Exclusive Edition).......18x8.5 and 18x10 with +25 offset....I test fitted the front and it clears the LS400 BBK with ease....

I am going to be running 245/35/18 and 275/35/18......

The rivets are removable on the wheels as they are only for looks.....I thought about picking up a gold set and I am also going to get Muteki SR48 tuner style lug nuts in gold to match.....



On to the wheels:

Over the weekend I got these 245/35/18 Goodyear Eagle F1 tires from my buddy for cheap and got them mounted and balanced on the 2 front wheels...



I test fitted one of the front to see how well it filled out the fender wheel area as well as the look of them...









I am awaiting lexus center caps, hub rings, and muteki sr48 lug nuts in anodized gold

Also need to order the 275 tires for the rear.....car is parked for winter now so I am in no rush with things

I will need to adjust the coils once I get all the new 4 wheels and tires on....
