Those the 17x9 +27s?
Looks pretty good man.

You need to hit up autozone asap for the remaned loaded Z32 caliper pair, 99.99 nuhka HORRA.

after a couple days of delay due to weather and having to buy some tools, i've finally finished my 5-lug conversion. the fronts were very easy while the rears were a little more difficult, more time consuming than difficult.

i may stick with the +27 offset in the rear because they're almost flush and there are no clearance issues with 215's.

i'm going to have to lower the car just a little more i think.

the fronts are 17x8 +22 while the rears are 17x9 +27. i'll have to wait on z32 brakes because i still need a couple more pairs of rims and tires for track days, but they will eventually come.

215's rear? Why so skinny? (honest question)

Need to roll 17x9 +17 all the way around, gangster style.
What lugs are those? they look pretty sweet.

used tires for the track and that stretched look.

i haven't actually rolled my fenders, not with a real fender rolller anyway. i've done the fronts and rears ghetto style with a mallet and pipe but as you can see in some of the pics they're not really done well. i'd like to do it right with a real fender roller though. oh the lug-nuts are volk/rays.

I see, makes sense. Also, to sound like a know-it-all track-asshat you should say the stretched tires are for "better feel at the limit of adhesion and beyond, thus achieving maximum control in teh drift".

If all the ricers made cars as nice as your's, the world would be a far better place.

You can use N/A Z32 or S14 rear hubs, and fronts for you S13 guys, you can use S14 hubs but have to use the S14 lower control arm and ball joint and spindle as well iirc..
I would go with na Z32 / S14 rear hubs and some aftermarket fronts...

Exactly what I did. Z32 N/A rear hubs, Attain front conversion hubs. I love the fact there are so many more wheel options. I bought Z32 wheels, S14 wheels, R32 wheels, SSR GT1's, and just recently some 16x8 and 16x9 inch +30/+35 offset. Im currently in the process of stripping them and painting the whole wheel black with mirror polishing inside of the spokes and face of the wheel.
