That ute is gonna be tiiiiight. They handle mean too. I used to have the Mag and Turbo Wellington one as a company car. It had a worked A15 and handled like a friggin go cart.

Nice brakes, how do they effect the offset? Still got the design at the engineers? I gots a 1200 coupe that I want to upgrade the brakes without effecting the offset too much.

Check it out on http://www.datsun.co.nz

PM if ya can chat about ya brakes.

haha what do you mean engineers, I designed and cut the plate out my self. with a fucken hacksaw :oops:

They space the front end out 2.5mm each side.

To do it I used a drum brake front end and the disk just replaces where the drum would sit. I got more photos if people would be interested in a workshop submission or tech section?

Just did a few measurements and if they were right (probly not). Then I can do a 15x8 with a +10 offset and it will stick out the rear guard by 1.5cm. so with phat d1 stretch I should be able to get in there with no rub if I get the ride height right. *dreams*

It will have to be a 7 on the front tho. and even that is gonna be fucken tight

well it did say from $56 each. so i was all oh fuck yea. I asked for a quote for 2 15x8 and 2 15x7 and they were gonna be 140 per wheel for chev/holden pattern and extra for any other pattern. $56 must be for 5x4''

anyway they werent wat I wanted it was sort of a compromise with price and width etc.

The rims i really want are these:

they come in a 15x8 +12 offset and they are uber cheap so I will get them when the time comes around.

And yea a fuck load of potential I just hope it will look as good as it does in my head and that it will reflect the time gone into it
