Why The Heck Can No One Tell Me

[Monster-Mat]

im amazed,ive asked the so called experts on the US forums......ive emailed wheel suppliers,but no one can tell me.

i will need to fit at least 9.5x18...possibly 10x18,but no one can tell me wheel sizes or wheel ofsets to start with,what the hell,im not happy.....i find it strange that all these ppl in the US who have had the 2jz-gte conversion cannot tell me what size wheels and offset they have fitted to there cars.......why is that

someone help and make it quick

Can't Demon Tweeks help Mat ?

[Monster-Mat]

nope,the wheels will have to be at least 2 piece or at the most 3 piece wheels to get the width and tyre sizes required....ive just emailed my pal at TTE regards the wheels fitted to the is430,when i was there earlier in the year they said they would make a custom set for me but would need to give them basic info......ive now done thast so lets hope he can come back with something

[Monster-Mat]

making a note for myself..........

f.18x8....45 offset.235/40/18

r.18x10.47 offset.285/35/18

just need to find wheels now

And there's me struggling to squeeze 18x7"s on my car!

What sort of design are you looking for?

[Monster-Mat]

well im split between.......

Advan Kreuzer series V

OR

Advan Model 7 Limited edition

on either i will need to get a 2mm spacer to give me the 47mm offset on the rear.........

however if i can get some Blitz Technospeeds to fit i'll get them

but i need defo 10" x18 rear to put the 700bhp down...and i need the 8" x 18 front to stop me from 200mph

[Random Fiesta owner]

I was gonna suggest the Blitz rims

Have you got in touch with Racelogic? I think it's them that do all the Blitz stuff.

[Monster-Mat]

so do TDI who are doing the conversion..i did actually contact blitz in japan.

im hopeing i can find a sponser for aspects of the car,after all this will be the first supra powered is2 in europe

and there wont be many in the world with 700bhp

[Random Fiesta owner]

Are you widening your arches?

[Monster-Mat]

yes i will be getting an arch kit from Japan...i also need to chop the rear arches

[Random Fiesta owner]

Is the IS rear wheel drive? Coz you really want to be putting that much power down through the rear if not all 4 wheels!!!

Got any pics of what it's gonna look like when it's done?

[Monster-Mat]

yes the is2 is rear wheel drive......the car will basically look the same,however the wheels ,arches and front bumper will be the major visual changes.

[Random Fiesta owner]

Sounds like it's gonna be phat!

Went to the International Tuning Salon in Belgium a couple of weeks ago. There was an Abbey Motorsport Skyline pushing 800Bhp that went over as well. Damn thing can hit over 200mph in 20seconds!!!

[Monster-Mat]

oh it will,there will be magazines from all over lineing up to feature it...........would be better to find a sponser though

[Random Fiesta owner]

When's it due for completion?

I might be able to sort out a space at some of the shows in europe next year if you're interested?

[Monster-Mat]

it will be going in, in jan,so should take about 3 months

email me we can discuss the show thing privately.....this may help with sponsership aswell

SC-IS, is your car is in the shop yet?? I saw you had alittle problem awhile back.. Do you still need any help?? I'm sure I can find out whatever you need... Let me know... :)

Also let me know how's your progress is with the BOOST.. I'm boosting my car this spring but nothing like the killer numbers that your going to be throwing out of your rear wheels.. *** that IS of yours is going to be something else.. I wish I lived around you because I'd definetly take ride out to see it....
