Chrysler is on the back burner now.

tbh though the old skyline and the Datsun v8 kit car are just about done
and the r32 gtr and the r33 gtr are done.
they are all like investments ie the money is there if I want it with some profit aswell.

this project is a little different as it is just something I want to do , it is going to cost me money and it will never be recouped but I don't care as its something to keep forever a proper one off
i am really looking forward to it especially as ive got such a good car to start with


i have spent hours looking for different tyre sizes.
the smallest i can find are 245/35/17 tyres readily available and only 23.75" total diameter i plan on 10j rim
rears readily available 295/35/18 total diameter 26.1" i plan on 12j rim

i would like the rear rim to be 3" bigger than the front but the tyre options for 15" and 16" wont get me down to below 24" total size.


my offsets for the rims im gonna need approx.

17x10j -80 fronts
18x12j - 57 rears

rears im not bothered i cant see it making much difference, its just the scrub radius on the front im a little worried about, i can go wider with the rim and go in more towards the hub to keep the scrub radius heading negative but i will have to run big wide tyres 26" total diameter and i will loose the effect it needs with the bigger wheels on the back.
also with 12j rims on the front the steering will be bad id imagine with 295s on
