Don't 240sx or taurus skirts or something like that work pretty good?

[FLG]

Yeah those things. Lol

yeah that's what i thought you meant... though i think i was thinking of rocker panel replacements. you mean 'side skirts' or whatever?

[FLG]

By rockers i mean rocker panel moldings. Not rockers, engine wise.

Wow really? That's pretty awful... I guess they're the chaser aero of old BMWs then. Also, didn't know they made rockers.

[FLG]

that's a scary notion... because my work is pretty awful, lol.

I'd buy those off you before dropping money on dtm ever again. My car needs rockers but I refuse to spend more money on their shit.

sound about how wide my setup is, I could probably fit a 305-315 easy. This is going to be cool, steam roller

Made the fenders around the wheels I got. Accounting for the suspension stuff I did + spacers:

Front
215/40/17 17x8.25, et20. compensated offset is about -42
(e46 arms push out about an inch, 1" 5x120 to 5x114 adapters, 12mm Lithuanian hub adapters)
without making the body wider, this is about as big a wheel&tire I can fit with the lock kit I have

Rear
235(for now)/40/17 17x9.75, et20. compensated offset is about -30
(z3 hubs push out about 24mm. 1" adapters, same as front)
I'm pretty sure with the right wheel offset & width, I could fit 315's in the back. (and still fit under the fenders I'm making)

What wheels size and offset are you going to be running ?

[jalopi]

Hahaha yeah, it's my second time using a spraygun and I was shooting rustoleum with a 25% mix of mineral spirits... lol. First job came out like SHIT. Super runny/patchy/awful/orangepeely. Watched a youtube video on how to adjust/tune your gun each time you use it, wow what a difference it made.

Orange peel comes from not letting the previous coats dry enough, right? Fucking rustolem+thinner takes forever to dry... like a few hours per coat. I'm not that patient. Gave it about 30mins per coat. Whatevs. Gonna wait like, a week to make sure the paint is nice & hard/cured, give it a wetsand with 1k/2k paper and a little buff. Hopefully comes out OK as a temporary paintjob.

Looks pretty cool, function>form. But holy orange peel batman.

They are reeeeally wide. Do like.
20ft is all you need, how much detail are they going to see when you're sideways?
