Ask and you shall receive! That's awesome, looks like a pretty good fit so far.

Looks like I might just hold on to the old bugeye after all...

ok, I've gone and orderd a set off Daren.

Wheels to suit. I have one condition, they need to take 255 tyres as we have a stock pile of old R888's (Skyline cast offs).

I was thinking Team Dynamics 17x9 ProRace 1.2's. They come off the shelf with et23 (as seen a few pages back on someones car). I've also heard they are pretty flexable making wheels to suit orders. So can anyone post a pic of 9J et15 wheels on a classic with the ABW arches?



2dr classic would be best.

I'm going to see about getting in touch with Team Dynamics to make a coupole of sets of ProRace 1.2's in ET15

Or 1 set, then a set of Rota Grids


I didnt think they did them in the size i'd want but driftworks list them!

thats what I am using..

its tight and most of my arch liners on the front had to be cut away.

I am using 255/35/18 Toyo R888 and have tried Toyo T1R too and both fit.

so what do u need to fill these arches properly, iv 17" with a 225 tyre, catches a bit, so wud like to space them out, but dont want car to look stupid with unfilled arches or filled and a massive gaping stance due to too thin tyres.
