Hey John your new wheels look really sweet...I'm writing to you from Miami, FL and I'm planning on getting a Z in black and getting the same exact wheels and wheel sizes and getting them in either gunmetal or gold in which in gold it will cost more. Can you hook me up with an email address and from who did you order the wheels from? And how much did the wheels alone come out to. Or also how much they com e out to with tires...And also how long did it take the wheels to get to your house. Get back to me whenever you have the chance. Thanks

You'll notice that the fender sheetmetal bends into the wheelwell leaving a bit of a flat lip (1/2 - 3/8") inside the wheelwell. This is an obstruction for max width tires and wheels. Rolling the fenders is essentially rolling back that flat lip towards the inside surface of the fender. For rolling...without having the fenders painted should be anywhere from $175-200. Find a shop that has experience doing this with the proper tools.

And i don't recommend rolling for those who live in rainy/snowy climates...expect frequent anti-rust applications or re-paints.

There's a informative article and pics at vtec.net to show you the concept...i wouldn't do it in this manner that the author does.

Click Here for Article

And here's an excellent description of professional fender rolling.

VERY nice!

Are you going to remove the blue stickers, or leave them on?

Nice job!

Default I can never get enough of your car...

Nice work! If I only knew, I'd probably go with 10.5 in the back as well.

Waiting on tires now
