PS13 done correctly

[nebuchernezzer]

I'll keep that in mind should I be tempted by any other cars haha .

Well this is my Silvia, I've put white LED parkers in it now so it doesn't look as silly when the headlights are on (8000k HIDs). The interior is currently being retrimmed in Bride material to match the seats. Got to take some decent photos of it soon. Wheels are 15x9 -2 rear and 15x8.5 -1 front SSR Formula Mesh. I bought them when I lived in Japan then restored them when I came back to oz.

Perfect!

What tyre size?

205/60R15 Dunlop Direzza Z1 Sport rear and 205/55R15 Direzza DZ1 front on the Silvia.

Fuck S13 looks good! You fly cunt!

Among the best looking S13's in Aus. It was always cool, but you've got it now.

Thanks fellas/

I had to make another thread for this

Post up specs! I don't want to have to go onto JDMST to read it.

I was afraid that 60 would look strange, but it looks good.

It's really a surprise to see an S13 done like this in Australia.. Everyone usually rocks HELLA FLUSH 17's+ so boring, I only know of a few done in 15's etc.

How have you found it to slide compared to the previous sizes? (i forgot what they were, 16's/17's?)

Winnar!

My plan with the tyres was to go smaller in size but go up in quality for around the same price. I ran 255/40R17 on 17x9 +20 on the rear and 215/45R17 on 17x9+12 before. But the tyres were in the lowish end range for sports tyres, I ran some kind of Khumos on the front before and also Federal SS595 before that.
Now I'm running the top and next from the top Dunlops on there. I've not been to the track since I've changed the wheels but the car feels as grippy as it did before really. The 205/55R15s on the front are hardly a tall profile and they are slightly stretched and a decent construction so yeah .
