Aggressive Wheels and Stretched Tires....Welcome
09-10-2010, 10:46 AM
why the fck do people insist on stretching and doing the hellaflush thing with Falkens ?
haven't there been enough incidents with FK452's bubbling and even blowing out to discourage any hellaflush member from running them...
That is the reputation they have earned, are these guys not aware of this fact ?

I gotta be honest, I love the fatty tires and i think is the best way to go performance wise, but i will never give up on the hellaflush look for performance unless I had a Lamborghini. Regardless though i know what you mean. I bet some fatties will look hot on the beasts. Maybe though maybe i will so they don't look to tucked 
some 295's or 305 would fit nicely. But the next set of wheels coming are the quite the adventure....
ha! you know it and its coming hahah!. I'll keep you posted lol
You mean the fenders pulled more? or added extensions? if you meant pulled more yes i did. they are still oem fenders just pull all the way out customized to fit hell and so are my fronts
a quick dirty pic! Z's height is super raised.

Are you going to keep it as is?

Teaser: This is after raising the car over an inch. Might have to raise it another inch, chargespeed side sits extremely low. Also going to order a NISMO V2 soon, my stock bumper with veilside v1 is too conservative compared to the sides and rear. Need something that sits lower.
Sorry for the dirty car, it has been on jack stands for almost 3weeks

toby, the sides looks great - was looking forward to see how it turned out.
how was fitment & much lower did they add?
I am on the fence with either the nismo v3 or chargespeed bl sides
selling the vs v1 lip?

Vex- They go MUCH lower than the oem sides. It has to be at least an inch maybe more. You cant see it from the outside but towards more on the inside it sits much lower. It took me 40 min trying to lower one side of the car bcs my jack kept hitting the sides (it actuallly caused some stress marks bcs it fell on my jack with 4 planks under each wheels). So i ended up using the oem jack with the planks and that barely worked.
Fitment was great, used some double sided tape. I didnt even use the slots that was predrilled on the sides bcs my drill cant reach it. So i just made some new holes and screwed the sides in.
As for the front, the V3 with a front splitter will look perfect. Im thinking of adding the apr splitter with my veilside bcs i dont feel like getting anything repainted (plus i leave for texas in a little over a week and wont see my car for 3-4months).

toby: looks good. To bolt the chargespeeds using the holes provided, you need a sharpie and transfer the pattern to your oem skirts. I then used a punch to make the holes, and enlarged them just enough for the bolts to fit snug, and some double sided tape on the rear and front of the skirts (where there are no holes).
Btw, to get the car high enough to jack, i had to drive onto really thick phone books and planks, and then a low profile jack barely fit and I'm not even dropped. THe oem car jack fits, i usually jack up another point just high enough with the oem jack, for my low pro jack to fit.

Toby, me and you have the same taste, always wanted to have this combo in-terms as rear diffuser and sides.. Do you have a pic of the rear? want to see how low it seats.. thanks bro and looks sick
