Crude drawing but this measurement

Need 390mm at least to clear my calipers.

Yours looks so good on the 18s, if only I didn't have stacks of new AD08r in 17" I would just go to 18", it's hard to make 17s look good on a 15 :/

Gotcha mate, will message you monday after ive got them outa the garage!

It is another black full aero kitted 15. And as soon as it arrives from Torque GT I will be cleaning and waxing it to an inch of its life! Only got 5 odd weeks left now. Even convincing the missus that we need to get a carpet vac in to the house in around 6 week to "clean the carpet in the house"

. Going to the Japfest this year so May see you down there ?

Car is extremely clean man, really like it in black.

What colour have you bought yourself then

Clarkey · 24 March 2015

I find the black paint really frustrating. I've never seen paint so soft before, you only need to look at it the wrong way and there's marring on it.

None yet, as soon as my 370z sells I will be getting one though. Currently I have my eye on a white one that is for sale on here, but if that sells then I will be looking for a Pewter Grey or a Black one preferably.

Get a PTG to check the amount of clear coat available before working! Marrings usually only caused by not working off the compounds enough or not using a finishing compound over a cutting compound. Also clay lube will play a massive part in that also!
