Time we had pictures of everyones Japanese wagons

Good question. I've spent a fair amount of time researching wheel/tyre sizes before going with this setup so will try to give a detailed answer. They are 15x8 +10 offset and the tyres are Bridgestones Re002 195/50. I've had the arches rolled to avoid rubbing; now there is no rubbing even under hard cornering. However there is no chance to fit any track tyre (R888, NS2R, etc) on this width/offset wheels even with rolled arches. Also, this ride height is probably the lowest the car could go to, again, avoid rubbing, which is not a problem for me as I wanted a useful ride height with wishbones parallel to the ground, but may be an issue for a "slammed" type car.
Edit: ah, sorry, forgot to say - no spacers.

Thanks for the reply mateEdit: ah, sorry, forgot to say - no spacers.
I really want to either space my wheels out or get some wider wheels on mine but ideally I'd like some wide arches so will need really wide wheels to fill the space, I'd like to go lower as well but nothing drastic, can't stand hearing a car scrape on the ground
Oooh I've been waiting to post on this thread for months!
I've also been whoring my car to all and sundry!
On Saturday I became the elated owner of a Subaru Forester STI with the Litchfield Performance/330 pack...
With the reflection of our Civic Type R in the door
and a bit of badge.
Happy days.

Liking the Chaser, I can see one these being my next purchase. I have a JZS160 already and love it, if a JZX is anything like that but with a manual, LSD and lots of power I'd be well up for it.
Anyway, here's my Datsun, doing what they do best.
Nice! I want to take mine to a drift day but very wary of smashing some very expensive and hard to source panels and bumpers.Anyway, here's my Datsun, doing what they do best.
