It is! :-D

Nothing beats your backyard, though! :-) Hope I can bring a few other 86's, they deserve a good drive in the Alps!

Edit:
What's the ET of your wheels? I like the stance and I'm getting Eibachs as well this saturday.

Wow car looks amazing basically identical setup I'm looking for when I get my 86 aero!

Just a question, with you wheels setup are they completely under the wheel arches or are they sticking out a bit?

I'm wanting the same setup but I can't have the sticking out any further than the wheel arches.

Thanks

Hey, thanks for the kind words. The wheels do stick out a bit, about 5-7mm in the front, and about 2-3mm in the back. If you like I can make some pictures of it. its just a small amount, but if your law does not allow it you probably have some issue with it.

Unfortunately here in Australia it is illegal :( maybe I'll have to go with 235's?

That will probably poke aswell, since the tire flank will still go out to the wheel/rim and thats already poking a bit.

You could go for 17x8.25 +35, they look almost similar to the 18x8.75 +35, you hardly notice that they are 17". Those would fit perfectly with no poking at all, and you could still fit 235 or 245 tires.

Hey. I never used red lug nuts, so not sure what pic you've seen but I guess you've mixed it up. I started with the chrome ones delivered with the wheels from my XXR dealer, and then traded them with a friend of mine who had black ones from his work wheels. Since I was looking for black ones, and he for chrome ones, it was a perfect deal. But to be honest I have no clue what brand they are.

Since I've got some pms asking why I'm not posting any news I'm posting a short update.

currently I'm in florida on holidays, so I had to change wingo into a rental murano :-( however, I ll be back home soon and wheather should be warmer by then, so you can expect alot more pictures and videos soon.

bl -> I'm still around, but just enjoying florida currently (even with weather being quietbad currently)

Quick update.

I'm back from Florida. Man, there is nothing like driving 3 weeks a rental SUV that lets you really appreciate your GT86...
...I still have jetlag, so since I anyways could not sleet I took Wingo out for a spin in the Black Forrest. Started at 5.30am and was back at 9.00am. Almost no traffic, and I made a video from the trip aswell. Currently editing it, and will be uploaded later today.

For now some pictures
