I'll need some decent suspension travel since the car will be mainly for street use. if i had a 15x9 lying around, i would do the measurements, but that's not possible at the moment. i want to see what other people have done, then maybe i'll decide. Thanx
Flaring the guards wont be a problem if the wheels look decent. i plan on doing lots fab work... There's a guy call Llyod with a sweeeet V8 Ke70. He used an R154 in his but he had to do some minimal cutting of his firewall to make it fit. Maybe if i come across the famous W58, i might drop the R154. but for now, that's what's available. we'll see...
Cooter I like the stance you got there! what size of tyre/offset is that at the front? i wish you could take more pics of the whole car. have you tried 205/50R15 on the 15x9s rears? How much suspension travel do u have there? or what's the set up at the back? now we are getting somewhere...
This looks awesome!! Lots of guard work required though to tuck it in well, but i like it... i wish you could test fit a 205/50R15 on this just for class purposes.![]()
Hey max
those tyres are 195 50 r15 and the wheels are 0 offset. So no negative, no positive. You can see more pictures of the whole car in my build thread
Susp travel is minimal before scrub but its just a track car, you would just have your ride height slightly higher. Setup is an E series diff, cut 4 or 5kg/mm springs and bilstein shocks. Then obviously the 15x9 +0 with a front arch welded on over them.
i just noticed ur from Kampala, I spent a short time there last year, so much traffic!! Haha

Looking at your build thread right now... Your car looks really good!! I say you were lucky to have a donor car with everything in it... You came to Kampala??? ... maybe you'll pay me a visit if u ever return. Kampala has traffic...LOTS like you said, but we know where the fun is... I'll show you next time We do some street racing once in a while, mostly against STI Imprezas that spit fire... it's hard to keep up with those guys if i'm driving my AE92... So i want my V8 KE70 to give them a run for their $$$$... that's the general motivation for my build. i pray it works out fine.
Yea I was lucky but it was a really poor build. Everything tech screwed in, everything super dodgy. I'm actually surprised it did catch fire. The boot was full of fuel and had a love amp cable not attached to anything floating around. N yea I spent two days around Kampala visiting an orphanage my gfs cousin was volunteering at. If I ever get back there ill give you a yell. Good luck with the sti's ;-) haha
