mmm, RS's... i like

What specs are they and what size tyre are you going to run?

I've been trying to figure out if I can stuff a 15x8 w/2" lip under the rear guards....

Tom I think you'd have to run flares or pump the guards. Plus think of all the stress your putting on that poor little diff!

Oh yeh I know I'd have to pull and cut them, I was more worried about the back space, clearing the Massive brakes, etc. Not sure whether I want to commit 2.5k to a set of wheels I dont even know will fit! Another reason why I haven't committed to the HTN's either... Tough decisions. The Alpinas don't look too bad though, so they may stay for a while :-)

I've got the R200 HLSD from an S15 to go in so diff strength wont be an issue. Just need to get it in there....

Great project. I think you inspired me to go with bbs rs or looks a likes. Looking forward to seeing the car with tires and a nice stance.

I think I saw your RS' when I was down at Dave's. Gorgeous. Your car looks fantastic too! Keep up the good work.

Oh my, you have my dream wheels. What are the specs?

[chad]

The fronts are RS 001's with a 1/2" lip and the rears are RS 159's. I purchased them from Dave at Aardvarc.

What size and offset are they?

Fronts: 15" x 6.5" ET32

Rears: 15" 7" ET25

Fronts: 15" x 6.5" ET32

Blunt has the same sizes/offset on the Inka. I'm going to run 15x7 ET25 all around.

I have neglected this post for a long time.  

 

Since my last post a lot of changes have happened to the car.  After driving the car for a few years after it finished, I was tired of the worn out M10 that I put in.  Since than I have been slowly swapping an M20 into the car.  My goal was to try and install the engine without cutting the front.  I am using a getrag 245 in my swap as well as a E21 323i radiator (modified aluminum E30  M3 radiator).  I figure pictures are better than words...
