  1. Finally got some tires on the equips, and tried them on.

    As you can see, there is a slight issue. Will be going to 165/65 from 185/55 for more clearance, and a slight guard roll.

    Will maybe go to a 165 on the front as well, 175/60 in this photo.

    Also had some factory side skirts show up as well as a rear sump set up. Just need JZA70 engine mounts and then the engine can go in once i pick it up.

  2. 15mm adaptors are always a bit of a drama. either the nut is too shallow, so it doesnt comply with the minimum thread engagement rule of 'same as thread diameter', or there isnt enough material left under the nut taper and they warp/are not strong enough. 20mm ones always seems to work out easier.

    you can trim the stud if it sticks out past the face of the adaptor. you wouldnt be able to machine the rim.

    i hate adaptors. theres so many china ones around with shitty nuts that the taper doesnt match, or the taper is machined not parallel with the thread.....

    So I've finally got round to doing this. Ended up with znoelli 15mm spacers. Have cut the stustuds back flush with the nuts, which was only about 5mm. When the wheel is on, the nut is only slightly touching the wheel. If I took another 2mm off the nut and stud, would this be a problem? The nit is 16mm thick, and there is 6 mm from the face of the nut to the face of the adaptor.
