I'm going to get some arches (poss not ABW but ones from a Datsun 240zg site... ) and it would be perfect for me to go for a wheel that I can share tyres with the Skyline! 255 is perfect! Do you think the 9" wide wheel would be ok with a 15 offset?
Daren,

Going by this post I think I might need to look at some wider wheels that I / we planned . Can you try those wheels in your magic store over a set of 4 pots. Might need to buy them off you

They have been on neils subaru for a couple of thousand miles with no problems , other than cutting the arches and getting them to fit they should be fine

This thread, and mainly this picture is tempting me into buying another scoob, and giving it to Darren along with a lot of money.

Looks awesome.

Neils car does look awesome, so good in fact that I'm considering going back to a classic for my next project...

Could easily fit 10x18 ET 10 with those arches.

Arches are Daren.

Yup. If the roads clear up I'm free at the weekend The tax on the scoob is up at the end of Jan. Plan is to take it off the road then and get it all done in time for the first big show of the year. No pressure then

Thought of a carbon fibre version of these? The extra cash would even out the painting costs!

Cheers, Now about that manifold Although not sure it's the same fit as mine? Mine has the coil pack in the centre rather than off to one side. It's a 96 - 98.

Also, you should see the plan for the wheels if I can convince the owner to part with them.

I was thinking the same. On a black motor they'd look awesome.

Mine is a V4 98... I would of thought they would be the same , you're welcome to try it and give it back if it doesn't fit.

Any chance of pics?
