tires and wheels Turbo Arches Finally Fiited

[Somchai]

As the title says. Finally got my new wheels and the turbo arches in place. 8 x 15 panasport style replicas with 205/50's. 50mm lowering springs, Koni sports and IE sways. Looks like I need to drop the front by another 20mm.

What offset on the wheels?

 

What color is the car? Looks great.

[Somchai]

Thanks

Wheels are 0 offset. Colour is custom mix dark metallic grey. As it's a resto-mod I felt it was okay to use something other than Polaris.

beautiful. I also love the color, looks like Porsche slate gray.

Gorgeous car man, be proud!

Very good look! 

 

Still learning here.When you add the flares are you cutting the existing wheel arch?

[tim385]

Sure do!!

if you don't there is not much point in adding the flares.  tires would hit the arch just like they would without the flares.

Nice work looks great!

Great color, seems to have a slight purple tinge but could just be my monitor.
Looks similar to the recent BMW sparkling grey metallic

Looks like a darker version of BMW Salmon Metallic.

Here's a pic with the arches cut out prior to fitting the flares. You can see that a fair amount of metal has to be removed.

Thanks to all of you re: wheel arch cut.  I should have looked into this BEFORE paint!  Guess I just found my next "kidney for sale" funded project.

Thank you for letting me see what my 02 will look like in a couple of years. 

I'm disappointed to see my color choice (Drk Slvr Metallic) on someone else's 02, but glad to know it looks awesome.
It's a real head turner.  Just started my project not too long ago.  

 

Great Job!
