Project Neil1138. Adventures of the Cream Machine

Great photos and even better build!

Go turbo and run a VAC/ATI Damper and a non-lightweight flywheel. The S52 will vibrate itself apart with the big power but the damper quiets things down.

thanks for the sharing the spreadsheet. I'm totally discouraged now.

nice photography by the way.

Pics?

Sent from my Samsung Note 4

Just an update. Got the spacers and installed them. That portion is done. Also, I parted ways with the style 5's the other week. It's all Ronals now.

I finally got a set of euro grilles and installed them, so that's cool. The next little thing to address are the ellipsoids. The stock projectors are lackluster, but I can't blame them. Need to make some adapters for a retrofit. Will get some sexy bokeh pics up asap.

Did the tire rub the inside of the outer part of the rear wheel well?...if that makes any sense.

Yes. Same problem I'm having with the 225/50/15's right now (if I space them out a ton).

The Ronals look like BBS RZ's. They look good. We need a full car pic with the Ronals.

Waiting on some spacers but this change is almost done.

My wheel/tire sits closer than that to my coller (shortened housings) and has been for over a year - you're fine!

[Neil1138]

So... these kumho's do run wide, but they look so good! I'm going to continue with a 3-5mm spacer all around to give a bit more strut clearance but that's it. Will update

It's funny you mention that because that was the size I originally attempted to fit on the chalkboard e30. Unless I ran the car higher and without the 10mm rear spacer, that size rubbed like mad.

Looks sick although the style 5s look good the ronals are less common

[Neil1138]

They are, and will always be, the perfect e30 wheel in my book. But it was time to make a change.

[pandaboo911]

I like the style 5s better =[

You have the ideal build. #1 in my books. Nuff said

[Neil1138]

I want your problems.

I love this.

Updating... I got the Kumho's mounted today. Bolting the wheels up, I'm glad to say that it all fits, no rubbing whatsoever. I am honestly surprised. Looking at the strut clearance, I can fit maybe 3-4 business cards between the tire and threaded adjuster. Good thing I'm planning to space these out.



Goodbye style 5's





Getting roundels installed on the ronal center caps. For future reference, the 70mm center cap roundel fits pretty well.



From the looks of it, I might be able to fit 12.5mm spacers all around. That might be pushing it in the rear but I'm going to try this weekend.
