I really don't think so, I mean with out flares 17x9 with a 23+ is pretty close to the biggest tire you can shove in there, But I'll see how close it is to the struts tomorrow to see if there is more room or not.

1. Input specs of OE wheels/tires and new tires into http://www.wheelsmaster.com/rt_specs.jsp
2. Measure to make sure it will fit.
3.
4. Profit

My car is still stock haha. I haven't had time/money to do anything to it. I'm going to install the V6 lip coming up soon though. I've just been lazy to redrill the bumper and rattlecan the lip. I'll definitely hit you up once I figure out a day for the Socal meet too.

Where'd you get those halfies, are they s13 signals? Looks great overall

night_s12Apr 15, 2013, 8:28 pm · #62

I'm curious about that too..

zilvia_brothersApr 16, 2013, 9:07 am · #63

Thanks guys! Overall the shop did a great job.

For the bumper Signal lights i got them brand new from Mynismo.com only thing that needs to be done is to wire the clear part to the parking light. For the signal im sure its plug and play.

Fuuuuuuu, LOOKS SO GOOD!!!!

I like the new paint but I am so used to you being one of the coolest black S12 hatches that it will take some time to adjust to it lol... now you know me, always up front. Not sure I'm feelin' the wheels. It's not the polished look, it's the style. It doesn't look bad. I just would have gone a different route. Hell, chrome dipped Crown Vics would look sweet on this car as it sits now. But that's just my opinion. Your car is still legit and that's no surprise bro.

Thats because mesh wheels will usually look good on any classic car.

I prefer real Works over crown vics any day.

Z bro's Im loving the turn out of the car. It suites your style simple, clean, and original. Hope to see it a JCCS this year!

Thanks jason! The black paint wasnt that great at all and i gt tired of looking at the blue paint everytime i get in the car so i just wanted the original look back. Ive always loved the work meisters its one of my dream set of wheel and when my buddy was selling it for $600 i couldnt pass up on it. It wasnt in the greatest condition so i decided to go full polish but mow i should have done white with a polish lip or another colpr to give it a contrast and my buddy that boght off my crownvics did polish te lips and it looks amazing!
