i am not certain if a 275/40R18 will even fit within the body work. can you show us a test fit?>

Quite an agressive tyre size indeed. Hopefully it will fit, but by looking at the amount of thought and planning gone into this build im sure thwy will.

Still sound verrry wide considering these (on the rear are only a 235) but the wheels being -23

Edit: Just remembered your car is a fair bit wider then a standard widebody. Cant wait for test fit of the rims!

it is! i want 315s :)

Two points;

1. So, after the too-small-tyres realisation, I'm looking for some help with selection of the new 235/40/18 tyres for the fronts;

Please post here http://www.mr2australia.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=22616 if you can or would like to help :)


2. I have to point out that Dylan arranged the total wheel and tyres package, and despite some issues with delivery time, we got through; His customer service was excellent throughout, and when the wrong tyres eventually arrived, he offered a refund and sent me a link to some alternative tyres (which I bought, pics above);

He also entrusted the Yokohama S-Drive 275/40/19's for me to look after until he can find another buyer. Can't fault Gorilla for this - in fact this was beyond my expectations. They've looked after me despite tardiness from the US-based guys (which caused a small amount(!) of frustration and was nothing to do with Gorilla Industries - top marks and a MASSIVE recommendation go to Dylan - Thanks a lot mate :)

Keep hold of those TRD strut braces for me!

those are my new favourite rims! look amazing. can't wait to see the finished product mate keep up the good work!

Here's a few pics of the bodywork in development..

It's tough werk getting good pictures like, the shop is cramped - this is as far back as i could get:


Dust particles everywhere!


Trying to get a shot of the side profile


Front bumper not yet properly attached:


View down the driver's side - wheel flushness is just about visible, though no rear bar yet


Front wheel arch - car needs to be lowered now it has new shoes


with rear bar just hanging in position


better view


wheels looking snug in the arch - will look better when the car is lowered and the arches are cut higher to suit


'Nother one..


Rear quarter shape and width


View down the length of the car


gap above rim/tyre to spring seat - running 18 x 8's and 215/40 tryes
